China has become a popular scapegoat for the coronavirus pandemic. But there are many lessons to be learned from how Beijing has responded to the disease, according to the top World Health Organization epidemiologist working on the coronavirus response there.
WASHINGTON — China has become a popular scapegoat for the coronavirus pandemic, a narrative that has been encouraged by some of President Trump’s supporters. “President Trump must take China on,” wrote the Fox News primetime anchor Laura Ingraham on Twitter, asserting that “they created this health crisis.”
But there are many lessons to be learned from how Beijing has responded to the disease, according to the top World Health Organization epidemiologist working on the coronavirus response there. He says that is especially the case for the United States because much of that response was learned from American public health officials.
Story continuesAylward has pushed back on such criticisms, arguing that there is much to learn from China — and much to be replicated. And he says that, despite tensions between Beijing and Washington over trade, Chinese epidemiologists learned in large part from their American counterparts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Many in the United States are coming around to a similar conclusion, though some of Trump’s supporters on the right continue to insist that the coronavirus is either a hoax or a minor disease being amplified by the president’s political adversaries. Trump himself appears to be taking the outbreak more seriously after weeks of complaining about its economic and political effects.
