Why do you think that evolution usually occurs with small gradual variations?
Well… he’s correct on that, genetic drift is much more common than genetic shift.
@CaffeineNeeded, what do you think would have happened if covid began in the US? Do you think there might be some confusion in diagnosis and understanding, government incompetence and bureaucratic bumbling and politicization slowing an instant response? Would they lie, mislead and downplay? Might some doctors, the first to encounter it and “sound the alarm” die from the virus?
Regarding lockdowns, I would welcome one in any country with the social programs to bridge the gap for people during that time. While martial law is possible concern, China’s lockdown was successful and one could have been successful in America.

Calling China’s lockdown successful after they unleashed a plague on the earth is just dumb.
Wat?

Not sure what you mean wat. They had a disease outbreak in their country. It spread across the world. Calling their lockdown successful is objectively just weird.
No way any of the 6 doctors from that hospital could have been killed by the chinese government. The official accounts say they all died of covid. No way it could be anything else. The local government had been so outgoing and forthright with information regarding to covid, how could anyone not trust them?

There was a zero percent chance of it being contained to China. Your point is idiotic.

That’s a very bold assertion that I don’t think you can back up properly. It could be true, but China managed to seed the whole world basically at once. It definitely didn’t have to be that way.
Why so many people are going to bat for the fascists who failed when it’s China is befuddling to me here. Why is that?

How has the US and every other country done containing it? The virus is undefeated.
Well New Zealand I guess but still.
Besides locking down the epicenter and fumigating it was about 1000x more than the US under Trump would have done. They tried, they failed, everyone would have.

Vietnam, NZ, Taiwan, Singapore off the top of my head.
At one point the US had under 100 cases and knew about it. How did we do? China is as much of a boogeyman as the US and Europe in this disaster.

Well damn dude, without you we all would have forgotten about the disastrous response in the USA.
If the government was also protecting our well being financially and through delivering groceries, I would be 100% in favor of this.

You don’t seem to grasp what I’m saying. Literally zero countries would have contained it. The fact China was unlucky enough to have it originate there does not mean they “unleashed” it.

Ok a few things:
- It’s not an accident that this emerged out of China. This is the third virus in the past 20 or so years to come out of the same area that I can think of (Bird flu forget the hxnx, SARS, COVID). They weren’t unlucky. This is a natural consequence of refusing to properly regulate their wet markets.
- You can assert that no country could have contained this, but many did. They would have had a much better chance if they didn’t attempt to cover it up for weeks.
