Are the chinese lying about their Covid-19 stats or are their actions more effective?

5. Their actions were more effective from the get go.

They forced the social distancing and took it seriously. I have a friend who works over there. He explained how they did it so effectively and didn't let people run around spreading it all over the place and took it seriously from the get go. He also predicted America was going to have problems because of how we are handling it. Getting people in America to pretend they are not stubborn stupid asses and leaving the social distancing as voluntary was a recipe for disaster from the get go too. There are far too many stupid (and proud of it) people in America who will tempt fate and not listen to health experts. Not making the social distancing mandatory for the safety of all of us has let it spread and become a nightmare. Plus, having Trump the Moron in charge hasn't helped either. He wants everyone to go back to work already so he and his rich donors can start back making money, hand over first, at the expense of the other 99%'s health and lives. He'll get it too.
