China knew the extent and severity of the virusWe know that Trump knew about it in january, and possible even in december. That's when he should have stopped critical exports.those masks could have stayed in America if the states had bothered to purchase them
Actually the same thing happened in Australia and New Zealand as china bought every sort of medical supplies they could find
Which is why they tried to hide the true scope of the epidemic for as long as possible
As you know (or should know) trying to outbid somebody for something of limited supply does not increase the supply, and only serves to drive up the cost. So saying the states could have outbid China, would cause China with a healthcare budget of $1.6 Trillion to easily outbid any and all of the states.
As they say, just do the math.
The rest of the world did not
Except for Taiwan who tried to warn us but was lied about by china and their flunkies at the WHO
