    So WHO not directly criticizing China = echoing State news from China? When Trump praises China response, was he echoing State news from China?

    You might not know this, but WHO isn't a political body. The most critical they have been is 'please test test test'. WHO has it's problem, but they aren't China's propaganda mouthpiece.

    It's almost like Trump is working with China by intentionally handing it a global leadership role and abdicating the US' traditional role

    What a piece of ****.

    And while Trump is criticizing WHO for trusting the PRC this is what he was saying at the same time.

    They are very complimentary.

    https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/det...cy-committee-on-novel-coronavirus-(2019-ncov)

    As I have said repeatedly since my return from Beijing, the Chinese government is to be congratulated for the extraordinary measures it has taken to contain the outbreak, despite the severe social and economic impact those measures are having on the Chinese people.

    We would have seen many more cases outside China by now – and probably deaths – if it were not for the government’s efforts, and the progress they have made to protect their own people and the people of the world.

    The speed with which China detected the outbreak, isolated the virus, sequenced the genome and shared it with WHO and the world are very impressive, and beyond words. So is China’s commitment to transparency and to supporting other countries.

    The World Health Organization is doing beneficial deeds in fighting this pandemic. They are doing it in promoting health in other areas as well. They were fooled and perhaps foolish in believing and trusting the Chinese.

    That was wrong, but it wasn't a conscious effort to deceive people on their end like it was from the Chinese. The WHO got scammed. But in general it has never been the policy of the United States to punish the victim.

    I just read the last 2 pages. AN NO ONE HAS MENTIONED... that on the stimulus checks being sent out that printed and mailed Trump's name is printed on the memo line. Apparently causing delays by several days for those to be sent. What an absolute fuc*ing clown. He really should be embarrassed of himself.

    As was Trump. And China did take extraordinary measures to contain the outbreak in late January, far beyond what the US did.

    I am fine and don't need thee money. But there has to be a little old lady or mother trying to feed her children that it will directly impact. I'll say it again. He is a clown

    I have read in multiple places that this is not causing delays.

    If that is the case I stand corrected. I read two places earlier that it was.

    Their type of government allows them to take greater measures than we can. Would you prefer a stricter lockdown that our current guidelines?

    True and yet Trump made no response at all for months and didn't do any of what our system of government allows. Instead, he told lies about it.
