Yes it's pretty batshit insane. Talk about heavy handed messagevol.2 wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5BZ09iNdvo
i'm assuming everybody has seen the Lego animation that the Chinese government posted about the US response to the virus?
As usual, being a message from a political org, it should not be gobbled as absolute truth (never become a super fan of one org or party or person for that matter, and never believe 100% what they say all the time, nor ever become fully ''in their camp'')
Yes most of criticism leveled towards the US in this vid is deserved.
But let's not forget that the ''temporary hospital build in 10 days'' is piece of communist propagandha (''look how quick things get done under dictatorship! 'mazing!'') meant to cover the fact that for the first couple of weeks of known virus transmission (which is the most crucial time frame to act in to stop an epidemic), nothing was done and the problem was wilfully ignored by the CPC. until it got out of hand. In those first few weeks, there was a grand meeting that happened where 2500 couples all around China met in the center of the epidemic, to then go back to their corner of the country and spred the disease big time. This pivotal moment was at week 3 IIRC and could (and should) have been prevented for sure.
the chinese people are not to blame (it disgusts me when i see people hating on the chinese citizens over this), but the party, the CPC, certainly earns a part of the blame for it's inaction in the first month
anyway, we're all in this together now

and on another note : we really aren't through with this. Italy, one of the first severely touched countries, just got it's heaviest death toll over a period of 24h yet - 474 dead. I've seen a journal article mention that the UK got 621 new deaths but I couldn't see if it was over the last 24h or what. Either way, very hard news. Russia apparently got 10 000 new cases and 57 eaths, it's really starting to bloom over there
