but I also believe that any country that is happy to weld people's front door shut to stop it spreading, and can test a city of 5 million people in a few days over a reported 12 infections, is going to be better than the rest of the world in coping with this. You guys are still going on biker rallies ffs
I'm not "defending China", I' just pointing out that by default, Totalitarian societies are much more effective at forcing a population to act towards a goal than any democracy could.
Imagine a virus much more infectious than this, China could nail everyone down for a month and kill it dead. Americans would still be demanding to sing in a church.
To a lessor extent that's what we are seeing now, America's cases are rising, other countries are levelling out. The only reason your society hasn't reacted yet is that it's not killing anyone you know.

I could go on and provide more examples of why your post is utter horseshit, but there's a limit to how long I can keep typing.
Now FUCK OFF.

"implying people shouldn't be allowed to decide for themselves how to manage their own health" - I love this one, lol
That's the most faggot list I've read so far
China (Mainland)- Total cases 91,252
United States - Total cases 7,800,000
and China has x4 the population...
you are not dealing with the problem because you have your heads stuck up your arse crying about your rights, you are a nation of babies

You believe China is giving us real data?
Do you remember when China lied to the world about Human to Human transmission?
How about when China shut down travel within their own borders, but not the rest of the world?
Do you think China has altruistic intentions regarding the extermination of this virus?

No I think they are lying.
but I also believe that any country that is happy to weld people's front door shut to stop it spreading, and can test a city of 5 million people in a few days over a reported 12 infections, is going to be better than the rest of the world in coping with this.

You think they are lying but believe the rest of that crap? China would weld their citizen's doors shut for no reason at all if they wanted to.
That's the difference between China and the US, the Constitution gives it's citizen's rights that no other country has.
How did you corner yourself in to defending China in this convo?

You are categorically defending China. Come off it, bro.

So you agree that China are lying but also believe they tested 5 million people in a few days? You're a fucking nutter.
