Yes, they are awful. Responsible for millions upon millions of needless deaths throughout the entire planet.
In the years to come when this pandemic finally ends, is there any way they can be held as a nation “personally” responsible like the Nazi regime during the Neuremberg trials soon after WW II?
It’s tricky. I agree that China bears some responsibility, though it’s very unlikely the virus was spread intentionally. China’s culpability concerns the attempts for the first few weeks of the spreading epidemic to cover up and act as if nothing was happening. Had China been fully transparent early on, we would not have had a global pandemic on the scale we did.
How about “gross negligence” and “intentional coverup”? If nothing else, a trial would give them a good scare and be a lesson for other nations (including U.S.) that there “can” be serious consequences, even for unintentional acts.
I know it doesn’t compare, doctor at Walter Reed who RIGHTFULLY criticized trump for his moronic road trip when he has covid was let go.
There have been recent cases of severe psychosis in some patients who have had even mild cases of Covid-19. Many have had strong urges to kill their own children and other loved ones.
Joshua, have you heard about this new post-Covid symptom? This disease gets scarier by the day!
This type of psychosis also occurred in some patients during the 1918 flu pandemic as well, btw.
Just a warning if you need a Covid test some insurances are not covering it and if your doing it for travel reasons, you have to pay for it.
My wife has two procedures next month so will need to get tested twice but it’s covered .
We can be so proud of this amazing country 🙁
Very high cases again today & this daily death rate in the state is alarming.
Agree. Death rate – case fatality rate – is up everywhere – Europe, South America, and North America. Concerning.
Vaccination in the U.S. is at a snail’s pace. Gross incompetence. People – myself included – warned that there needed to be a lot of work done on logistics and distribution this past summer and fall. Governments at the state and federal levels failed to put much effort into this activity. Israel is already at 5% of the population is vaccinated. It’s at least 1% of the population every day. Massachusetts should be doing the same. It is not. Woefully behind.
Just the beginning Joshua . I think 1.3 million people traveled through airports SKY HIGH numbers coming up like we have never seen . January & February will end up being the darkest months of the entire covid outbreak !!!
As a nation we are very good at inventing things. Innovations of all kinds. Unfortunately, un-sexy things like planning, organizing, and implementing, say, the distribution of vaccines or really any public good … we’re terrible at. This is not a political statement, because it applies across the political aisle. We devote far more resources to developing innovations than we do to logistics. Of course, in many instances, the market will allocate without a need for government intervention. But, public goods are different. And they’re distributed very poorly in the U.S.
My Dad said there is a lot of red tape that is slowing up the works for covid vaccine distribution. It might actually be a situation of over doing the vaccine distribution steps along with unnecessary BS as he put it.. There are thousands of vaccines basically just sitting there unable to be distributed some of which could turn bad.
PS my Dad along with several others at MGH and other hospitals are pushing for something that should help increase distribution in Massachusetts and a part of it involves the transition from Trump to Biden later this month. There is frustration at many hospitals involving the federal, state, CDC and WHO who think these organizations are making it harder for distribution particularly for blue states. Mass had the ability to be towards the top of getting its citizens vaccinated quickly if it wasn’t for the feds.
C-19 for 12-29 is ready.

The Chinese government is a repulsive regime. Human rights and freedom have never meant a darn thing to the Communist leaders in China. Jailed a person for 4 years for reporting on coronavirus in Wuhan. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3115529/coronavirus-citizen-journalist-china-sentenced-four-years-jail
