From some of the world’s shitholes - so described and despised by Trump - answers are coming that ought to make the US President feel ashamed, if he hasn’t passed that point already. Senegal, traditionally France-leaning, has set its own modest example accrued from its experience in managing dengue fever and Ebola six years ago. It has developed a $1 test kit, which gets the job done in 10 minutes and has joined the global race in the search for a vaccine.
Sure, China is not exactly a sterling example in managing Coronavirus. It has more to account for than it is willing to admit. But Trump’s incompetence has managed to make President Xi Jinping look like a messiah. That is what the Chinese Coronavirus response team around the world has been called: messiah.
