Obviously western governments failed too, and have a lot to answer for, but all of this could have been prevented had China and WHO not attempted to downplay the virus to avoid hurting the Chinese economy. |
The thing is that pretty much everybody was downplaying this. News about what was happening in China were running around for months now, but all governments did not decide to shut down their borders until the virus was already in their lands (and until they saw that the numbers of deaths in China was actually huge), which obviously was late.
