Who cares where a virus starts? This is essentially a random event that is going to happen more as human density increases. How we prepare our societies for pandemics (and how we respond to this one) is far more important than allocating blame or litigating damages.

Based on how most nations are responding to the threat of Coronavirus, I think your expectations of China and its leadership are way too high. The Chinese are just people, like the rest of us. Some mistakes were made. But I think there’s a reasonable case to be made that the rest of the world has a lot to thank China for, too.

What's up with these constant purtorting of November as the starting point of the disease? AFAIK. We have no reliable information that this is the case.

Could you give sources to that and some of the other statements in your comment?

Re 4), this sounds way too much like what was done to Germany post World War 1, and it had massive consequences.
