We can say the obvious: the WHO failed us. It parroted China’s coverup and lies until it was too late—including covering up the human-to-human transmission despite Taiwan informing it. The US administration wants to use that as an excuse for its own failings. Also no to that.

Do you think this pandemic would have happened if Wuhan were in a Western country with a functioning media and protection of human rights? A cover up would have been impossible.

Relatedly, I've been wondering whether - after the dust has settled - people are going to stop sucking up to China and hold them/the CCP to account / stop letting the abuses run as rampant. At the moment it seems unlikely, but ... god, one can wish.

It’s almost like pinning a global pandemic on a single actor fails to appreciate the magnitude of the issue...almost.

It's a lot easier to control the spread of a virus when you have tight control over the people. They are tracking their people electronically, something that cannot be done here. They already had the infrastructure to track. Same with S. Korea.

fair but remember we are very different from Taiwan and have a very different relationship than Taiwan with China and especially Europe. Given china’s actions and interconnection the China us and Europe seemed unavoidable.
