Germany is catching up to Italy and Spain in terms of infection rate..
Germany is catching up on Italy in terms of confirmed cases, but are far behind in terms of deaths - and it's not just that Germany is a week behind Italy; Germany today has the same number of confirmed as confirmed cases as Italy had about a week ago - but Italy then had 8 times as many deaths then as Germany has now.
Germany is not catching up on Spain in terms of confirmed cases - as Spain has been 10-50% ahead in terms of confirmed cases the last two weeks (variance likely due to differences in reporting), before that Germany was ahead.
Spain also has an order of magnitude more deaths than Germany.
I think that is a great idea. Walmart has dedicated 6 - 7 am each Tuesday for such. But only one hour. That is not enough and I feel they should be doing it for two hours every day of the week. I would approve if they made it a temporary law here in the US for every grocery store to do during this pandemic.

China is already opening up their so called animal markets again, just a matter of time before we get more surprised from there.
Do you hear the voices too?
If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.
So I am a critical infrastructure employee so I do venture out into the world during shelter in place orders that were given to all the counties around Austin Texas last week. I can tell you next to NO ONE is bothering with that. Walmart was PACKED. All the grocery stores were PACKED. Things like Hobby Lobby were open and PACKED. The only things not totally PACKED were things that were closed which mostly equals restaurants. I mean even the parks were PACKED with kids playing on play ground equipment and tons of parents standing around each other or sitting tightly on park benches together. This area is going to have a really rude awakening once things start to balloon and they will have no one to blame but themselves sadly.
Some say the Spanish flu was caused by some American soldiers.....
And when did USA took responsibility for Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya.....
You can't contain virus, it has left area/country/state long before you isolate the strain and figure out its a new thing.
Oh please, I know you are raring to suck commie schlong and all, but guess what - this is not exactly the right moment to do this.
This is not a hill to die on, given the magnitude of Chinese Communist Party failure here.

What you can do is actually warn the others, instead of trying to destroy evidence and suppress doctors
You bois are surely working double time for your great leader Xi here.

Whataboutism is never a good argument or defence in any case. China purposely hid this and covered it up causing a global epidemic and economic crisis.
If you want to use an example, you should use Russia and Chernobyl not something as the ME conflict that has many sides to the same coin to begin with and stems from the Cold war era were all "great powers" back then hold a large responsibility in the destabilization of that region.
So yes China should be blamed for this as the CCP did cause this and to this day we still don't know what the actual numbers in China are throwing people and governments off.
But i got a feeling this is more about you having a hardon for america than anything else.

But if the reports of China actively destroying evidence of human-to-human transmission and severity of the infection are true, and if the reports of them sitting on information weeks longer than they admit, than they are partially responsible for the worlds delayed reaction. For example, if we had known about human-to-human transmission by the time the Chinese government and CDC allegedly knew, we would have had weeks to lock down airports, weeks to prepare hospitals, ramp up supplies, and so on. We probably would still have the pandemic, but we might have already saved hundreds or thousands of lives so far.
It's better to not live in denial. Yes China is the main fuck up that all of this is happening...Trump is a major major fuck up why this is happening in the US. "It's just the flu" says he "Get over it" says he. What the hell...his immediate response should have been "Oh shit, batten down the hatches..all stations prepare for virus invasion" No, not the orange clown god, "get over it"...tell that to the people who have died.
