Laboratory workers weak hygienic practices, caused the Virus to escape from within its walls. The Virus was already present in bats. And this was a regular medical lab. Not a military lab as some conspiracy theories have it. But the Chinese cover-up caused the whole world dearly in human life and both emotional and financial suffering and hardship.

Reopening Wet Markets is a Chinese Slap in the face of the world. It is where SARS, H1N1, MERS, and Covid-19 came from. The Covid-19 link is still being investigated.

Looking back, I think most politicians called it wrong, even some in the medical profession. Simple reason, they did not want to contemplate the worst at that stage. They tightened their buttocks, clenched their jaws, and put their hands together to pray that it not happen here. It happened.

I think politicians in most countries were too slow to act initially, but some have been faster learners than others (and some seem incapable of learning at all). The only countries that acted decisively seem to have been the few Asian countries that had more experience with previous pandemics, as well as cultures that are more accepting of putting the collective interest before individual interests.

Unfortunately, we seem to be incapable of taking decisive action to head off a crisis that requires people to make sacrifices until the crisis is already here. Politicians are in a Catch 22 situation because if they succeed in heading off the crisis many people will accuse them of over-reacting and imposing economic costs unnecessarily. We are seeing this already as the data start to show that lockdowns have succeeded in avoiding the more pessimistic scenarios. If that argument wins out politically you can guarantee the same mistakes will be made in the next pandemic.
