It still doesn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. Could have happened anywhere and will certainly happen again soon. china may be the rising super power but the vast majority of their population is still 3rd world with little or no support from the central ruling power. Their only option is to eat bush or starve themselves and their children.No, it's scientifically proven. There's even a peer reviewed study that concludes as much and it's published in no less that Nature, probably the most reliable scientific journal ever.
What would you do to save your starving child? Can you imagine living in a world where you can barely move without bumping against someone else?
If the US or Canadian gov't did what China did to clamp down on the virus once word was out there would be violent revolt at least in the US. But both our governments are on the verge of enacting war measures acts which makes all of us slaves and prisoners trusting our leaders to get us thru this then let us free. I'm not comfortable with that.
The only blame is on our own government's response to this. Taiwan, right next door to China, enacted anti-hoarding laws before the majority of their populace or even us knew there was an issue. Their life hasn't missed a beat with life like normal but care about Covid and not an empty shelf in any store. Kids in school, stores and factories hard at work. Everyone wearing masks and doing the physical distancing thing. Their society never used a handshake to greet people. That's a Judeo/Christian custom to show your opponent that your sword arm was empty. Now we need to bump bums to show we ain't packing a piece down our butt-cracks.
Meanwhile our 'advanced' western society beats each other up for a 24 pack of TP. We're all just a bunch of self-serving greedy babies and Trump is the biggest baby of all. lol
