Given the incredible impact this has had and will continue to have. What will the likely consequences be for China given that it is my understanding that the source of the virus was Wuhan China?

Wait... what? No consequences. It wasn't a man-made virus!

  It was a man-made meat market, so one would hope that at least some improvement is expected there.

    Apparently there is big money (and lobbying) in wildlife markets in China, so I have my doubts.

I think China has already been dealing with the consequences of robust lockdowns that, while slowing the spread of coronavirus dramatically and admirably, also place substantial strain on the society and economy.

The same consequences that africa got for ebola or the middle east got for MERS. Nothing. It's not their fault. It's a virus. It happens. People like you are so obvious. What do you think happened to the region that gave us HIV? Nothing because it's not their fault.

  Aren't SARS and COVID suspected to be the result of viruses jumping species in wet markets that sell wildlife? If that is true, I'm not sure you can just say "it happens", as the wet market environments are man-made.
