You don’t think there are some in China who are blaming the west for the first wave?

Chinese are typically obedient people (they may not want to be, but they mostly know what the consequences of not doing as the government instructs can be). So when they are locked in their homes for 7+ weeks for the greater good, they accept it. They don’t congregate on beaches or in pubs. And when they come out of 2 months forced hibernation, they will know better than to allow it to come back through carelessness. Or to permit foreigners to bring it in. I’m not sure we are that smart.

China will be back on its feet while we on this continent continue to make mistake after mistake (as we already have in the nearly 3 months that our governments and their scientific advisors have known about the disease) in addressing this. By delaying as long as we have done, not having a decisive and consistent response, and pondering a return to business as usual far to soon, we will be allowing the Chinese tiger to become the undisputed largest economy in the world on the back side of this crisis.
