Are societies in Africa and the Middle East that are dealing with this virus 'fat and weak with comfort and convenience'? Do poor and oppressed people in China

Are societies in Africa and the Middle East that are dealing with this virus 'fat and weak with comfort and convenience'? Do poor and oppressed people in China hit with this virus deserve this reminder that our reality and existence is fragile? Who says there's been a 'near total global failure to deal' with this pandemic? We're dealing with it right now, and countries around the world are taking drastic steps and decisive action. Perhaps we weren't as prepared as we should've been and I think that case can readily be made, but to think that because you can't explain our lack of preparation, it must mean that this virus and the resulting fallout were 'deserved' or 'necessary' seems pretty cold-hearted in light of all the people affected by this who already were struggling from paycheck to paycheck, just trying to get by and possibly improve their standing in life.
