A long-standing problem in the US , up there with gold medal denial has been the unprecedented humbuggery. An example comes from the Ed Board of WaPo today.
They advise wearing masks. No mention of the Chinese.
Here was my comment.
Repeat performance of wheel reinvention déjà vu all over again? You’re taking a cue from Yogi Berra instead of the bleeding obvious , the Chinese.
You foolishly lead the world in covid cases , new cases this week (up to 120,000 a day but 190,000 yesterday), covid deaths, and it continues to disrupt day to day life and the economy.
The Editorial Board, choking on hubris, comes up with brilliance. But not so brilliant the Chinese didn’t employ it from Feb/20 and still do. It worked so well , including isolation and contact tracing, they were able to reopen Wuhan in 74 days by April/20.
Let’s have another go. You’ve had 803,000 deaths. The Chinese? 4700. Despite 4.4x as many people, a much denser population and several more at risk months.
Do you really think the rest of the world hasn’t noticed. By allowing covid to wantonly replicate, you endanger the world because mutations are a function of the number of cases and replications. So now take stock.
1) you’ve been voted greatest threat to world peace in an international poll by Gallup
2) voted greatest threat to democracy more recently
3) your democratic index rating has dropped to 5/10
4) and now you may be the greatest hazard to world health via your foolishness over covid and..
5) you are by far the largest polluter in the world, dwarfing the Chinese output of GHGs per capita, yet you falsely and dishonestly try to blame the Chinese.
Not enough for you? Well can we expect more world-leading stuff from you? Let’s be honest. At present you couldn’t lead a Brownie pack on an Easter egg hunt.
