The Canadian doctor who headed up a WHO mission to China is praising that country's response to COVID-19 and worries other nations won't deal with the virus as effectively

TORONTO -- A prominent Canadian doctor who just returned from an experts’ mission in China to study the novel coronavirus outbreak praised the country’s “aggressive” response and advised the rest of the world to take heed.

After visiting with hundreds of health-care workers, government officials, volunteers, and residents across the country for a week, Aylward said his team determined that China had successfully managed to decrease the number of new cases with their “robust” approach. The epidemiologist said one of the things he was most struck by during his visit was the country’s mobilization of people. He described China’s collective action and co-operation in their response as “phenomenal.”

“As you drive into this city in the dead of night with the lights on, it’s a ghost town, but behind every window in every skyscraper there are people co-operating with this response,” he said. “It’s staggering.” As China gets a handle on the spread of COVID-19 within its borders, the rest of the world is dealing with increasing numbers of cases popping up since the virus was identified eight weeks ago.

In North America, the U.S. has confirmed 53 cases and Canada has reported 11, all in Ontario and B.C.

Canada can't even get some terrorists off the railroad tracks, how do you think our government will deal with a bug? They'll sit by and let it ravage the populace like they do with everything else. CanadaIsBroken

And what's the likelihood the CCP either bribed him or threatened them to say that? High. It's High.

Our officials already said they wont lock down regions if it came to it so we'll just let it spread I'm sure
