I misspoke, there’s no evidence I’m aware of that they were killed. But given China’s history of abusing critical citizens, it wouldn’t be surprising. What’s more accurate is that doctors who spoke up about the impending disaster died of the disease (perhaps unnecessarily) after being censured for their free speech.

Yes China is too slow. First case in December and few dozen cases in January then lockdown. If China had a great president from the free world like mr Donald Trump, then they could act much more quickly and shutdown the whole country since day one. I remember Mr. Trump has an uncle who was a professor at MIT, so that he could understand the seriousness of COVID19. Make China Great Again!

and the u.s. is not intentionally misleading the people right now when it's clearly in front of us? the u.s. government is blatantly lying and even profiting off of the virus.
and your comment about china continuing to manipulate numbers is poor speculation on your part. i am unable to find the article at the moment, but the WHO representative who was there was asked that question, and he stated that there was no reason he saw that numbers were being manipulated. he stated that once the response ramped up, that they were taking it very seriously and were quite methodical.
None of this would have been necessary if the doctors reporting the Wuhan virus weren’t killed for presenting bad news. There’s clear evidence that the Chinese waited far too long to start acting and alerting others. Also there’s absolutely no reason to believe the Chinese are reporting accurate numbers.
The ideology that’s dangerous is authoritarian government. It happened in Chernobyl and it’s been repeated time and again with China and their respiratory illnesses from easily preventable sources.
