The other vaccine in clinical trials is currently in the United States. Do you know if the two teams are in contact with each other?

Sharing info and follow-up data is critical in this time.

sadly they don't :( ... they are competing fiercely ... FYI, about 40 other companies in China also working hard to make the vaccines ... so in a few months time ... all will be good and booming economy everywhere :)

In all fairness, the US is in dire situation far worse than Canada's. So it is reasonable for Trump to tell 3M not to ship any N95 face masks manufactured in the US to Canada.

The U.S. government does not listen to warnings to order a shutdown in time. Now should the whole world suffer from this mismanagement because it will result in existing supply contracts being broken? It has nothing to do with fairness, it looks more like disregard for international trade law.

Too bad they listened to WHO...

Yes, unfortunately, as Mr Trump had said before, it's corrupt at the tops of the organisation. Many fine and educated people work there but when it comes up to the message it turns out that it was all for PRC citizens to conduct their business around the world without shutting it's borders. That's how it went. Whether it was intentional or not will forever be discussed but there were as many mistakes as one can make. And I doubt that people who are pretty smart can do that without some kind of a strong pressure from 'sponsors'.

Reported for unsubstantiated and highly inflammatory crackpot conspiracy theory.

Just ignore the nationalistic troll guys, don’t waste you time responding and let the mods sort it out.

No, WHO asked countries not to restrict international travel and the U.S. was among the first (or was it the very first?) to restrict travel from China. WHO asked countries to test, test and test. The U.S. was slow to start mass testing.

Compare the U.S. to S.Korea who didn't restrict travel from China (until China started requiring 14-day quarantine for travelers from S.Korea), and had been very proactive in testing and contact tracing.

S.Korea did everything the WHO advised and came out fine, the U.S. did everything opposite to WHO's advice, and you can look at the result.

That is denial at its best. Twisted and distorted reality at clinical scale. Moderation please

it is a brand new virus for Christ’s sakes. You are expecting Chinese leaders and WHO to be clairvoyants?

It wasn't new already. It's was well known by that date. I don't know how a sane man can deliver such a message to the whole world, simply put. It seems that many people like Dr Li simply wasted their lives for denial...

The virus came out during flu/cold season. You are basically asking the impossible. How fast did US react to H1N1?

First of all, it's not an interrogation so that you can't question anyone just 'because'.

Secondly, back up your post with a believable timeline of how it unfoleded if you would like to make a point. Because we're in 2020 now and if you want to bring to prove that somebody's lying then prove it for once.

Like I did for example. If you can't provide - don't bother.
