And why do you think that the so called "international community" doesn't have some other political motivation? And the talk about "short-term" and "long-term" is quite funny now, isn't it? It's very clear now is China cares about "long-term" while the West does not.

Is China a brutal, oppressive government that's trying to coverup their screwup in containing the virus and likely downplaying extent of the pandemic in their country? Most definitely, yes.
Will further confirmation of this fact speed up the development and distribution of much needed tests, vaccines, and cures in the u.s? Unfortunately, no. |

Yeah, "At least we're not as bad as evil China" seems to be the way some people cope with fact that their belief in American exceptionalism is failing.

As for closing the topic of China, it is not surprising for other countries (Taiwan and Singapore confirmed; Hong Kong to some extent despite the old hag being there as Chief Executive) to show forms of distrust when one of the first cases has been traced as far back as November 17 and that there was a cover-up until it was recognized as a serious matter by late January/early February. TWO BLOODY MONTHS AND A HALF! It should be treated as such. |

Speaking of American 'exceptionalism', "The firm said it was in contact with many organizations and authorities worldwide, but would not comment on speculation and rejected “allegations about offers for acquisition of the company or its technology.” ". It is only bad if America does it am I right?

It's true that America is exceptional but nothing lasts and a new overlord will take over. People will not complain anymore. I'm sure of that.

The general idea of american exceptionalism is that we are truly unique, an exception, superior from the rest of the world socially, morally, ethically, politically, and economically. Which i think is absolute bs. Because if we were truly exceptional, we would be the ones leading the best response to the coronavirus, not south korea or taiwan. We would have a president who would not require a market crash to scare him into seriously responding to the pandemic. Apparently the guy is known as Cannon Ren, famous for his repeated critiques of the chinese govenrment, to the point where the government forced chinese social media sites to shut down his social media accounts. Hope he escaped, rather than the alternative... Last edited by coded321; 2020-03-15 at 23:06. |

Do you think the numbers support lasting acquired immunity to this disease (meaning whether are there widespread reinfections of recovered persons)? Or data is too noisy to tell?
Quote:
That data is publicly available online for anyone to view. And the virus is literally everywhere globally, it's not like it's properties are hidden.

CDC got this essay published on Singapore's strategy when they took on the virus.
