China's been demonized for a while, and more often than not for good reasons, but the US seems to be completely blind and deaf about their own issues. Trump daily conferences about covid19 will be taught in school textbooks in 50 years as a prime example of propaganda. "We're the best" "We have the best experts" "the chinese virus" "the invisible enemy" "wartime president" "nobody has done anything like that before" "we have the biggest [cargo plane] in the world" while literally showing a picture of it [0], what is this, a dick size contest ? "I don't take responsibility at all", "it's going to disappear one day, it's like a miracle" "we're doing great, it's gonna be so good" "our country is doing so great", answer to "what is your message to student blocked at home": "You are a citizen of the greatest country of all time, and we are attacked ... we're winning the battle and we're going to win the war". The icing on the cake is blaming china saying they hid the infection (every experts knew by the end of december that shit was about to hit the fan) as a reason why they didn't take any actions before mid march. "Nobody knew there would be a pandemic or epidemic of this proportion", besides the hundreds of experts who're telling exactly that for months now while at the same time saying "I’ve felt that it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic"

Compare that to all the other countries, especially in Europe, that are basically saying "this is bad, it's just the beginning, it'll get worst". I wish luck to all americans, especially the ones at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
