10:08 pm
hampering relief efforts you guys this well accusations against russia disinformation and thanks about the coronavirus pride and europe and the whole world are a big. this information and fake themselves let's take a look at the presumption of innocence is their occupations you need evidence now as then there can be any claims. it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational can in fact u.s. leaders continue to hurl accusations such as donald trump continuing to refer to it as the chinese the virus and to claim that china is somehow responsible for the outbreak because they hid information or somehow engaged in behavior that hindered relief efforts now this is donald trump and the response to his words from chinese officials if we had known about this a number of months earlier it could have been contained to that one area in china where it started and certainly the world is paying
