According the US intelligence, China lied and concealed the extent of the Corona virus outbreak. That bad data led to a less extreme public policy response all over the world which ultimately led to massive misery and death everywhere

What is the US doing accepting “help” from Russia on the Corona virus? This is a humiliating PR stunt with no substance. I guarantee you the next step Russia will say “forget about us invading Ukraine and killing 10k soldiers, give us sanctions relief”
