A lot of MAGAits are circulating this. Evidently closing down the country makes the virus worse according to this idiots logic. He thinks China simply ran its course and the flattening of the curve had nothing to do with the entire country locking down. He seems to cherry pick countries stats after they have already put all kinds of social distancing in place or pick countries like Iraq and leave off the last week when things have skyrocketed.

China brutally locked down Wuhan and it seems to have been effective, whether you believe the official numbers or think they are vastly understated.
