Read Laurie Garrett years ago, 1995, back when my hair was not white. Scared the crap out of me. Probably responsible for a few of my white hairs. LOL!

Prescient, smart, etc., but definitely not a fan of the Chinese response.
Nothing new except the fact that the agent, the time and the politicization of science are all set in a different era. And the fact that a few, very few, genuinely know what they're talking about. Garrett is definitely one of them.

<<<<Since the first Dec. 30 announcement of a new disease in Wuhan, the CCP has woven a tapestry of narratives, primarily for domestic political purposes, aligning official case and death numbers with the storylines. Meanwhile, the international health community, from WHO all the way down to academic statisticians and infectious diseases analysts, has tried to infer from the dubious official daily tallies just how dangerous the coronavirus disease may be for the rest of the world.
The bottom line is trust, which appears to be waning inside China and is increasingly unraveling across the public health world. An epidemic cannot be fought and won unless the bonds of trust between governments and people can survive the grief, confusions, emotions, and medical challenges of the battle. The Chinese government, in its negligence, has jeopardized those bonds, perhaps beyond all repair.>>>>>
So, no, Jay I definitely do not buy the idea of a heroic, honest Chinese response. Sorry, those are the facts as I see them. |
