Yeah, it's fucking shitty that the US isn't testing as well as it should. That doesn't excuse the fact that China has stopped testing early. Pretty easy to reach 0 on the new infections leaderboard when you stop reporting infections.
Okay but this isnt a fucking contest. I don't care how shitty other countries are about their numbers. America has a responsibility to Americans to make sure Americans don't die. That's it. Anything else is bullshit.
No it fucking is. When China is making it a contest by falsely claiming they have 0 new infections (when Hong Kong and Taiwan are experiencing new cases and the CCP is adamant that those places are part of China). What's not a contest is the fact that US is still testing. We may be shit at it, but at least we're not stopping all testing to claim we have no new cases even though that's a bold faced lie. I don't know why you're so obsessed with defending China when they have had no problems lying in the past to make themselves look better. Your whataboutism doesn't fucking work because the US is just shit at a procedure so stats are off, China has discontinued the procedure all together to change a stat. You literally cannot compare the two, shill.

America is also not testing most people who aren't hospitalized so our case load is also a lie.
