In the bigger picture this is yet another SARS virus emanating from Asia so it's no wonder we are all a bit weary about it all..

Stay safe Alec


You are politically dodging dear+8Rich. frown AIDS began in earnest in the USA, duh, and spread from there. How soon we forget! In that one, once again the US failed to take remedial action or pay attention until it was too late. On the other hand, China reacted quicker, and published the plague genome for the world early in January 2020. That saved time for the development of vaccine. Is that the "Chinese shitstorm" you are referring to?

But the leaders, media and peoples of the Western nations, which are becoming more cut off from reality and the rest of the world on a daily basis, are being fed excuses, which you express elequently and accurately in your comment. Not much news on the deep divisions this is causing between your 14% of the planet and the rest but try this. https://edition.cnn.com/videos/tv/2021/01/31/exp-gps-0131-fareeds-take.cnn

You keep safe as well. Lot easier for you than most of the planet.
