Really cool how the US managed to delete the fact that we spent the entire early part of the crisis with capitalist using the feds to literally steal protective equipment from the states to resell. Also really cool how we no longer talk about how the electoral system resulted in the government aiding or crippling the virus response based on how those states voted.

Meanwhile, you don’t need “leaked” documents to see how badly the sanctimonious Western world has mishandled every single stage of this pandemic.

Sweden declared “fuck it, herd immunity bitches” and gets way less flak than China making some initial mistakes before going on to competently defeat the pandemic within its borders.

Even if China was mishandling or whatever r*dditors try to accuse them of, the fact is that in the end their response was fast, their warning was early enough so that VN who have fucking land border with China and one of earliest countries to have Covid cases could contain it successfully. Compare to dogshit Western governments with their incompetent handling that cause it to spread so heavily, I doubt the blame should be laid on China.
