Well yeah, China wasted the world precious time (potentially 2-3 weeks), but what has the rest of the world been doing in the 6-8 weeks since the Jan 23rd Wuhan lockdown when it was obvious this was serious and there were health experts warning of the severity of this virus? Arguably those governments that haven't taken this seriously since then are not much better than China since they've had good information since late Jan (with the clinical reports, models, etc.). I read a report on Caixin Global in late Jan where an infectious disease expert from HK (can't remember his name) visited Wuhan and said that the horse has bolted and this thing will spread globally. Yet most of the few people who read this said he was fear-mongering.
