China didn't warn public of likely pandemic for 6 key days
In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations.apnews.com
"This is tremendous," said Zuo-Feng Zhang, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. "If they took action six days earlier, there would have been much fewer patients and medical facilities would have been sufficient. We might have avoided the collapse of Wuhan's medical system."
Handled it better my ass, I'd say they're neck and neck in both incompetence and evil, the CCP put more importance on social order and economy rather than the well being and safety of their citizens, just like Trump, it wasn't until they realized they couldn't control the outbreak and the information that they started to act, again just like Trump. Only difference is the CCP saw that finishing off the outbreak is better in the long run rather than reopening the economy unlke Trump, but after what? 6 days of trying to hide it if not more?
Sorry bud but I think that difference you allude to does firmly place the US in the "can't throw stones" category. At least not when their first approach to this problem and their genius idea of how to differentiate themselves from the GOP is thoroughly confused racist dog-whistley shit like this.
