China definitely deserves the blame for COVID-19 since they lied about it and tried to hide it but individual countries also need to take responsibility for not taking proper measures early on to contain the spread.

Why not blame Italy. The fashion industry has close ties to China and signs of a new unknown pneumonia were seen as early as November. Plus all the stats suggest it must have been there long before Februari. Why did they not raise the alarm...

Or blame the WHO, but look first at what they're dealing with on a yearly basis

Blame the people thinking going on holiday is more important and proper hygiene is too much effort.

Blame the governments for not being prepared for situations like this and running the healthcare system as lean as possible with no reserves.

Blame our modern way of living where livestock and produce is transported all over the world between farm and table.

Blame our sensationalist media and over reacting public, which is the nr 1 reason why countries try to suppress information on a still tentative unknown new outbreak.

Blame the interests of the wealthy few that fear a recession more than a pandemic. The nr 2 reason why information was suppressed while some senators were selling off their stocks in advance.

We all deserve blame for letting this happen.


The big question is, will we learn this time... Or just keep pointing fingers.
