Blame China for COVID-19? Sure, they got it first, shared the genetic sequence and have mostly stopped it. Trump thinks he did a great job but look at the numbers. China has 1.4 billion people, and 82,719 cases and 4,632 deaths as of April 17. Low estimate? Lets add 50%. That’s 124,079 cases and 6,948 deaths.

The U.S., under the dazzling leadership of our president has about 330 million people, and as of April 21, 802,583 cases and 44,575 deaths. So who has done a better job of controlling the virus? China has done more testing and given more information than almost any other country. Trump declared, “we have it under control” and “I take no responsibility.” He dithered and now we have the most deaths in the world!

Nero is fiddling while Rome burns!

Note from KBJ: What's shocking is that you think the two countries are comparable, Steve. China is a totalitarian society; America is the land of liberty. It's also shocking that you believe anything the Chinese say. How can you be so gullible?
