It astonished me how stupid the leaders were in the first episode blowing off the severity of the situation and then when that old fart stood up and started tapping his cane I knew there was a rallying Lenin speech coming.

Amen. They were more interested in saving face, rather than saving lives. It's a weakness in any totalitarian regime.
This tragedy helped indirectly lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union a mere five years later.

Sadly, I fear the same went on in China in the early stages of this Coronavirus, and itās going to cost thousands of lives before long. If this thing hits a weak part of Africa watch out. Itāll make their recent Ebola incident look like childās play.

As it turns out, you were right, ducky.

Correct... it wasn't stupidity... it's a system that is more concerned with perpetuating itself and saving face and ideology than in recognising reality...
Still very valid today... Wuhan could be the Chinese Communist Party's Chernobyl moment...
You are correct, sir! They were totally uninterested in saving people's lives, the bastards!
And I certainly hope Wuhan is the ChiCom's Chernobyl moment! Maybe that totalitarian regime will also collapse in five years: 2025 perhaps? That would be excellent!

Following the same kind of logic, if we consider Trump's initial reactions to coronavirus (just a flu, will be over in a few days, etc) that would show how truly brainwashed and stupid the Americans are.
shareI doubt many Americans believed that buffoon in charge.

shareYou left out how he also shutdown international travel and flights coming from China before anyone else, including the media, said that should be done. In fact, he was criticized for being racist/overreacting from doing that. Then NYC was freaking out saying they needed 80,000 ventilators (which another topic is how unnecessary and dangerous they are) then Trump got them all for them. However NYC didnāt even use more than 25% of them and Cuomo started regifting them to other states and acting like a hero big shot for doing so. But yea sure, just repeat what the media is telling you about how Trump didnāt do anything or act soon enough bc thatās their narrative. Hospitals are incentivized to attribute deaths to the coronavirus and news outlets have been busted for staging fake lines of people waiting to be tested. Going so far as to pull doctors/nurses from treating patients to get in their cars for news photoshoots of lines of people waiting to be tested. Actually look into what happened/is happening and what he did before you blindly claim he didnāt do anything bc at one point he compared it to the flu. Iām not calling him an infallible saint, I disagree with a lot of what he does and says, but it makes me sick how so many people just eat up whatever narrative the leftwing media is currently selling, no matter how many times theyāre proved lying for their own benefit. Seriously though, this isnāt an attack or an āIām right, your wrong and stupidā type of thing, but actually look into what is happening from multiple different sources while keeping their agendas in mind. Look at facts and statistics before regurgitating what one network (or multiple networks owned by the same people/companies) tells you and form your own, intelligent and though out opinion. You cannot blindly trust the news, even if it fits with what you want to believe. The U.S. has done a ton of things to help the situation despite being totally unprepared for something like this.
