Their "High-Dollar" tests, they were marketing to the US, were found to be only 30% correct/effective.
That is why Trump told them... "No Thanks. We'll make our own"
And he had his people get the best... 5 min. test results with a 96% success.

Ok, everybody, begin studying up on your new talking points!

I think that things are getting too complicated for the Trump gang. He changes his targets so often, they can't keep up. They will be spouting off and not be up-to-date with their latest party line. Trump is the only one who gets to do that. The following must all be on the same page or they will fall into chaos. Just joking about that-----they've been in chaos ever since he began his campaign.

It is because the intel was garbage. Garbage in, garbage out. That said Covid-19 was very much an iceberg.

Clearly WHO let the world down and was in the tank for China. When Trump took action before WHO took action, some of the above posters were just "all about " how Trump should listen to science and listen to experts and ignore the virus from China.
Different tune, now.

The WHO did but Trump has also let Americans down by downplaying the virus and not paying attention to the Navarro memo.

Too bad Trump supporters don't care about facts.

It seems that China wanted to be ready to counter the international anger and backlash with so completely ridiculous claims, such as "It wasn't us!! The US Military did it!!"

How many countries waited for the WHO to take COVID-19 seriously before doing so themselves?
The UK was even slower to start than America was and I criticize America for being slow besides the China ban.

I agree but most believe these inane things that Trump puts forth.

Trump lashes out like a child when someone doesn’t agree with him. Trump supporters tend to think he knows more then anyone else about anything. Trump is a narcissist plain and simple.

In addition to your Jan 31 point: WHO advises the travel ban is unnecessary and will do more harm than good.

WHO is not an organization anyone should trust. They are usually wrong. Certainly not the best or brightest.

Nonsense. It wasn't an intel problem it was China lying. The knew it was human to human transmission at the time they lied to the WHO. This is not in dispute.

I may be fully aware to the extent the WHO may have shortcomings.

WHO needed to be in CHINA - they come out swinging at China and they may not have had any info.

Even Trump has played the game of downplaying China's propaganda in order to play the game.

I think it is dangerous not to know there has to be a game played
