my understanding from what i have read is that the virus was 'discovered' as the illness started presenting was in November....and that the chinese government was telling doctors to stay quiet about the nature of the novel virus for nearly 2 months....i didn't save my links to these stories, but a search could most likely bring them up

what do you mean by saying it was to 'their credit' to have the young doctor who was sounding the alarm early go back on his words? that doesn't make sense

And medications are far from being the only strategically important industry.


exactly right

as far as supply chains go, manufacturing Tshirts and sneakers are one thing, having a big majority of medicine coming from a country with authoritarian 'president for life' regimes is insanity....especially when china has specifically stated it is their goal to overtake the US as a world economic power....but even apart from that, we should never have that much concentration of our supply chain coming from one country....how 'bout we 'spread the wealth' around, my thyroid med comes from australia ....not exactly a cheap labor country

what about huawei? it should be obvious that the US should not be farming out critical, national security related manufacturing to china or any other country for that matter

getting rid of excessive bureaucracy and regulation is a good start....our whole 'test kit' debacle starts there..if we learn nothing from that totally preventable situation we deserve what we get
