Still reading through it, but I find sentences like this hilarious: "[...] reveal what appears to be an inflexible health care system constrained by top-down bureaucracy and rigid procedures that were ill-equipped to deal with the emergingcrisis. At several critical moments in the early phase of the pandemic, the documents show evidence of clearmissteps and point to a pattern of institutional failings."So, are we talking about China in January 2020? Or are we talking the United States January, 2020 through December, 2020? I'm confused...

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Ha, yes, applies equally. Perhaps China will use that line?

    They might want to tweak it a little to make it even stronger.

    They are really having a go at Australia at the moment. Soft target and really stupid. They are losing the plot a bit.

    Well, Aussies are easy targets because they can take the heat - "Fuck it you nitwit - heading to the beach and then it's out for a pint with me mates"
