China’s Global Times with the piece. GT is not the most, err, independent of media but given the Chinese experience with the dangers of COVID-19 they do have a point:
- coronavirus continues to spread rapidly across the US
- officials including President Donald Trump and some in the public still seek to downplay the risk of the deadly virus
- an apparent bid to avoid disruptions to economic activities by arguing the common flu is more fatal than COVID-19
- raises questions about whether the epidemic can be contained effectively
- irresponsible for public health security
