The longer I see this unrolls, the more I don’t buy the “China didn’t tell us” type of excuses. I see there’s a ton of hubris in the West, not just the US but Europe as well. The West knew all that there’s to know no later than Jan 10th and nobody took any meaningful actions. As late as last week mask wearers were harassed and ridiculed.

The key difference between Asia and the West is that Asia went thru the SARS epidemic in 2003. The scar tissues are still raw. Like I said I still remember the name of the female doctor in Hong Kong who died on her job. Once bitten twice shy. The West is living through the same experience now only 10 times as bad. The memory will last a lifetime. It will have far ranging consequences.

What do you want west to do that it is not already doing? Or may be the west should yell “mea culpa” ?
