great last paragraph of
:
"With US officials apparently determined to lay the blame at Beijing's door -- distracting from their own handling of the outbreak at home -- and their Chinese counterparts equally determined to avoid it, this argument will likely continue for some time."

They accused China of being non-transparent on the COVID-19? That's rich...
Exclusive: White House told federal health agency to classify coronavirus deliberations
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.
Staffers without security clearances, including government experts, were excluded from the interagency meetings, which included video conference calls, the sources said.
“We had some very critical people who did not have security clearances who could not go,” one official said. “These should not be classified meetings. It was unnecessary.”
The sources said the National Security Council (NSC), which advises the president on security issues, ordered the classification.”This came directly from the White House,” one official said.

China have donated 1.1 million masks and thousands of protective clothing to Japan, 7.1 million masks to South Korea and 1.25 million masks to Iran. Why hasn't China donated masks to the United States?

When China was taking drastic measures containing the outbreak, when Chinese medical workers are risking their lives working on the front line, when death toll in China kept rising to thousands, when Chinese people lock themselves up in houses, the US was busy playing dirty politics. They are spinning the COVID-19 as the China virus when no scientific proof indicates it originate from China.
They are capitalizing on the sufferings of Chinese people, insinuating whichever way they can that Chinese are dirty, tasting the sweet reminiscence of the ‘yellow peril’ and sick man of Asia they once stigmatized on a whole nation. They are getting off on feeling superior.
And the CDC head of the US also pulled a publicity stunt asking to help China by visiting there to which China refused. US CDC can’t do nothing in China but politicize it.
Over 70 countries around of the world including Vatican, Iraq, Korea, Japan, Germany and many more extended a helping hand to China to fight this epidemic. The US government did nothing other than smearing and smirking.
As soon as China quarantined Wuhan, the US urged WHO to declare China as the public health emergency of international concern to block off China from the international trade. They are still finding ways to take advantage of the epidemic situation in China for trade wars.
The US politicians till this very day are playing the blame game. Democrats blame Trump. Republicans blame China. That’s what democracy do best right? Blame blame blame. That’s all they know when the s**t hits the fan.
When China was undergoing measures to take control, the media platforms in China are considered public resources reserved for update of the progress. Celebrities in China who accidentally got on the hot searches of Weibo for trivial matters would apologize for taking the valuable space of the platform as the battle ground for epidemic communications.
On the other hand, look what US politicians are doing using their large followers as weapons to project their bias and racism on China and their political differences on their opponents, occupying the media platforms with bullocks when American people are at imminent public health risks. And trust me, they are not ashamed.
In times like this, the valuable resources of public media platforms in China are reserved for scientists and medical experts with priority. Why? Because they are the ones calling the shots, making suggestions, predicting the outcomes.
But the US politicians and journalists believe their opinions are more important. They have to push their own political agenda, score their own political points. They have to find someone to blame. They have to voice their uneducated opinions on Epidemiology.
And when WHO praised China for its efforts in containing the outbreak and named the coronavirus COVID-19, they believed that WHO are bought off by China and went out of their way to protest the name not bing Wuhan Virus. It’s just not fair! There is Spanish flu, Ebola, West Nile virus. It’s so unfair that we can’t call it Wuhan virus!
I have many friends in the US. And I genuinely fear for their safety not just from the epidemic, but also the hatred instigated towards ethnic Chinese and East Asians along the way.
Tell me why China would want to donate masks and medical supplies to a country with so many politicians and journalists who hate China to their gut and were so irresponsible to their public and eventually the world?
To be honest, Iraq as a country has showed more humanity and international responsibility in fighting this epidemic than the US has. What an irony.

Lol. Last week, a gentleman in Aichi Japan after being notified he tested positive told family he was going to bars to infect others. One of the bars he visited called the police while he was ranting. Police finally caught up with him at another bar. He is being charged with intent to commit murder. Plenty of witness hence a solid case
Big karmic retributiion onto Denmark.
Who posted the cartoon of covid19 virus making up China flag as a huge joke to laugh at and to poke fun at China .
Defended by all their politicians as a p-erfectly nice thing to say and the indication of true free speech of Western world.

I read a week or so ago that an American health scientist working with Chinese counterpart wrote article urging US administration and media to stop politizing the Corona virus because his counterpart is now hesitating to provide more information because they are being used for political purpose and endangering the lives and activities of health workers in China.

Nothing to see here. Americans just need to follow the presidential tweets.
Remember the report about pet dogs having CoronaVIrus. My vet in Lincoln Center NY sent a letter reminding pet owners that dog to human infection is false. I say this because the vet had previously asked me to adopt 2 otherwise healthy dog that has been paid for to euthanized.
