10:10 pm: President Trump says China's Xi is doing a 'good job' combating coronavirus

President Donald Trump on Sunday repeated his belief that Chinese Premier Xi Jinping is doing a "good job" combating the fast-spreading coronavirus and that Xi will "solve" the problem. He added that the virus is "under control" in the U.S.

There were 35 confirmed cases of the virus in the U.S. as of Sunday morning.

Me: He's wrong. As https://nu.federati.net/url/263986 [the atlantic] points out, China's response was (1) cover-up, (2) react late.
