not that they created the virus, but they keep maintaining a standard of living that promotes the rapid hybridization and diffusion of viruses. so no, they don't get to be painted as saviors after being responsible for the issue to begin with.

Please elaborate on what you mean by "standard of living". I couldn't follow how the former leads to the latter.

What a breathtakingly ignorant anti-Chinese comment.

Sacrifice my ass. Their incompetence led to a province and its people being hung out to dry.

They let this problem get out of hand—and now the people there suffer.

How?

They ignored the doctors who attempted to report the problem on New Year’s day.

They (the CCP) take no precautionary measures until their political regime is threatened.

So many things done wrong—including maintaining wet market controls up a few years after H1N1.

Just dropping a link here, anyone who is concerned about the coronavirus and has opinions about it should imo read the daily situation reports from the WHO: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

In 5 minutes a day you will have a better informed perspective than what any news sites provide, my own alarm has lessened considerably after reading these.
