He egged on people who don't wear masks and believe in conspiracy theories. Even after China has already basically recovered from the virus, we're still over here with our thumbs up our asses not knowing what to do. But yeah... That's all china's fault. If it started somewhere else we'd have totally been on top of it.

None of what I said had anything to do with how well or how ineffectually another country other than China dealt with the coronavirus. It is completely irrelevant to every single point I have made.
