    You used a strawman argument. Sorry this is happening to you.
    Do Canada and New Zealand suppress information more so than the US regarding COVID?

    Thanks in advance for clearing up your begged question.

    Did Canada and New Zealand muzzle public health officials, assume control of COVID-19 data and have all public statements about the pandemic vetted by political appointees?

    The USA did.

    Did political leadership in Canada and New Zealand hold daily press conferences to spew lies and disinformation about COVID?

    I said countries that suppress information fare better on the world stage. I didn't say countries that fare better on the world stage suppress information. Surely you know the difference.

    Examples?

    I didn't duck anything. I saw no reason to address your strawman head on.

    China

    Not a strawman, Canada and New Zealand are direct counterexamples. Open governments/free societies that "did better on the world stage."

    That would be true if I said only countries that suppress information do well on a world stage. You struggle with reading comprehension. Maybe you just address what you want my response to say instead of what it says. Had China been honest, they would likely have a lot of deaths and lose face internationally. Ignorance means dip s can simply ignore the lack of information and leave China out of the COVID discussion altogether. It worked. , MSM was even defending China against "Chinese Virus" claims. Now it's taboo to say Chinese Virus but you and others here have no problem saying your POTUS killed 300K people. See how well it worked for China to simply not report?

    btw Canada had 81 deaths yesterday (reported). China had none and only 12 new cases. Who fared better?

    It's true regardless. Your parsing doesn't change that, it's just more pettifogging.

    Lol you can say whatever you want about China and the China virus. No taboos here.

    No one here has claimed China is an open book, but to hold it forth as representative of countries that have done well on the world stage is veracity challenged to say the least. Your inference that the only reason China has done well on the world stage has been because it suppresses information is dishonest as well, their public health countermeasures (city wide quarantines, mass testing and vaccination) have been notably robust.

    They both seem to be faring well relative to the rest of the world.

    Do you have a point here?

    (If 9/11 dead = 2,977 deaths, then we're only at 80+ 9/11s)

    He is pushing that narrative because Ted Cruz is. That is what the less crazy, but dishonest, part of the right wing propaganda mill is putting out these days.

    Bash China.

    But,

    Ignore Trumps mishandling of the pandemic.

    You're completely lost. Canada and New Zealand are not counter examples. Do they prove that countries who suppress information don't do well on a world stage? Or are they simply not related to that comment at all? Exactly.

    the narrative shifts now!

    "notably robust" when they suppress any real data... do tell just how you know this.

    China fared better because no one knows how many really died from COVID in China. But note you say they fared well vs the ROTW, proving my point again. Not knowing = assuming they did well.

    Wonder if we'll exceed the real Spanish flu death count of around ~675k.

    Reported in Western newspapers. There are journalists from all over the world in China.

    Do you assume they all take dictation from the CCP?

    Most likely sustain another 200k before enough people are vaccinated to slow it down in late spring.

    IDK, Redfield says expect 450k official dead by the end of January and it's probably going to take a while to vaccinate all the health care workers much less even start on the elderly. And are we still looking at a month and a half after inoculation before you're protected in full? Sounds like it could be a close call. And especially after accounting for the 'pneumonia deaths' e.

    We were saying no way just a few months ago. We were also saying we would hit 2k a day in mid December. The fact that all of that was a huge undercount plus the conservative IMHE saying nearly 500k by March tells me that we will pass that Spanish Flu mark or at least get really close.
