@Spoiledbrat China handled it better than the US too - via centralized and rather totalitarian methods. Once they committed, they fucking committed.
The people here have more rights therefore are responsible for their own well being. It’s just a different approach. Maybe I’ve seen too much or are jaded. I just think people don’t have to go out. I wouldn’t be rioting right now if I was worried about dying doing so masks or no masks. @QuixoticSoul

To clarify:

The outbreak was first identified in China. It was not made in a lab and is insufficient evidence to make the determination that it escaped from a lab.

@Spoiledbrat It did start in China.. And in a densely populated city.. And even with the head start of initial denial they STILL managed to stop it with less time and less resources, because they understand that an economy cant function in a pandemic and it needs to be stopped before the economy will successfully reboot. China is now back in positive growth because they acted. America and Europe are preparing to crash and burn because they wont bite the bullet and shut down properly until its done.😷
I thought it was because of all the riots and people about because we were shut and are still partially shut down in some areas. @whowasthatmaskedman

@Spoiledbrat People in China dont riot.. Well, only once.. Hong Kong is another matter. Now things are close to normal. Of course everyone is masked and I mean everyone..😷
