..and I'm in no way suggesting that the US has a good track record on whistleblowers. I'm simply saying that it's a major stretch to argue that China has done a better job managing the Coronavirus outbreak given all of the reports of suppression that we've seen come out of there.

It does when "whistleblower" means "independent person publishing data from independent sources".

The US has a crappy record on people who leak government data, but that's an entirely different thing.
