I just came here to post that. Stunning. Medical journals just don't do that.

Nor should they. And I always love it when they Chinas response is used as an example. Yeah we can easily do the same types of measures China does. Our governments are so similar as are our cultures. Or Singapore. Anyone ready for a caining? Give me a break.Which is why the New England Journal of Medicine should stick to medicine and stay out of politics. They lose credibility when they do something like this. And in so doing - they help Trump.

Freedom to spread the coronavirus is not an inalienable right. It was not only China that shut down the virus, virtually all East Asia countries put the US response to shame. Why is this one category where the usually competitive Americans are satisfied to fail?
