South Africa vs china in the detection of covid virus

The US government has praised south africa on saturday for identifying the new strain quickly and sharing it without any filter to the world. This can be considered as an indirect slap in China's way of handling the coronavirus. The new variant is named by the WHO as 'Omicron'.

The State Department said that the secretary of state Antony Blinken had spoken to South Africa's relations and cooperation minister Naledi Pandor and they had a discussion on vaccinating the people in Africa in fighting the covid-19 virus. South Africa's scientists as been praised by Secretary Blinken for quickly identifying the new variant and also its transparency in sharing all its information to the world and it served as a model for the whole world.
                    President Joe Biden of the USA has openly criticized china for not coming forward to share the origin of the coronavirus and taking time in sharing information. The virus was first detected in the Chinese city of wuhan in december 2019 killing 5.2 million people so far. The US intelligence community had said they cannot go to a firm conclusion on the origin of the virus since china had not helped in the US probe. Joe Biden said that the world needs an answer and he will not rest until he gets them.
