Yes, the Chinese government could have done more at the beginning, and god knows how much they were covering up at the start, but by December, anyone who read the news knew something was going around, and the experts and politicians in the west should have voiced greater concern. Taiwan and HK suffered badly because of SARS and so they knew they had to get on top of things quickly. The west just thought it was another disease limited to the east.

And to make things worse, you have the two idiots in the photo as world leaders as well as the evil, disgusting Bolsonaro.
