Let’s also not forget that it began there in the first place, and there is a serious probability that this particular disease could have been completely avoided in humans.

People have been saying, for years, that the ‘wet markets’ of exotic animals are breeding grounds for inter-species diseases. The Chinese government did not listen to these complaints for many reasons, including the fact that ‘medicinal remedies’ made from exotic animals are a status symbol for upper-class Chinese.

Becoming aware of the true extent of their mess and having a good grasp on the problem are two entirely different things.

Moreover, the only reason why China's covid19 outbreak threatened the Chinese regime's control over the population is because the Chinese regime failed to address the problem in a timely manner after intentionally turning a blind eye to the problem, and afterwards attacking it as a political threat instead of a public health crisis.
