It's easy to send aid and researchers, but those are minor investments in a relationship and at worst, actually just tokenistic actions. The WHO has specific guidelines for pandemics[1] and these include things like NOT closing borders, NOT preventing exports of medical supplies, and reporting transparently on infection rates. All of these things are not being done. Don't get me wrong -- it's great that researchers are collaborating, but it's precisely the sort of small gestures that enable a state to build an argumentative defence around actions that aren't conducive to solving the problem properly (or the way we all said it should be solved).
