Look, I'm not trying to defend China in this. I'm just saying that it's not helping to make such comments. Yes it came from China like many viri that brew in those wet markets. But perhaps our government shouldn't have treated as nothing for two months before taking it seriously? There is blame to pass around in many directions IMO.
We could have done much better to contain this on our soil and that should have been more important than calling it a Democrat hoax or "just a flu" or blaming the Chinese. We're passed the point of blame at the moment. Let's stop the bleeding, work on vaccines and treatments, then start dealing with the root problem, whatever that may entail.
