OP, have they shared any meaningful sources or is this just blah blah blah. People will make up some of the screwiest stuff.

these things matter.

Germany had lower exposure, Austria had lower exposure? I don't think so. What about Eastern European countries with huge number of citizens coming back literally at the same time.

And in 1980 along with 2000. I think I see a pattern

Let's be clear, we've made blunders in the US, but Europe has made as many blunders.

Are they angry at China and WHO???

I don't see anyone in Britain laughing at any one, we are just angry with China.

The Huawei 5G deal and other deals with China are now going to be cancelled without a shadow of doubt.

China has clearly demonstrated to the world that it can not be trusted.

The world focus is on China at the moment and not the US, which is a close ally.

They are not laughing at US, they are laughing at the comedy show in the White House.

Exactly. Please let Trump speak, I need to laugh thru this pandemic!

^^^^^This.

So another failed thread, based on a false premise. Europeans are not laughing at us over Covid-19.

The only ones who would be justified in laughing at us would be Australia and New Zealand, where they have successfully contained the virus.

Bingo.
