Let's not give them any credit sxb. Those fucking bugmen condemned the rest of the world because of their lackluster lab safety protocols.
Let's be honest, Western governments, the US included, collectively shit the bed on this one. Instead carrying out mass testing, contact tracing and having quarantine measures in place, Amriburgers spent the first critical weeks calling the virus "just a flu".
The only countries that handled this situation with the slightest bit of competence were Taiwan, S.Korea and New Zealand. Everyone else nuked their economy and allowed literal fucking SARS to infect their populace to avoid being called "Xenophobes" by twitter Journos.
