Thank you for writing this. You put exactly my thoughts in words. Just because China delayed telling the world about H2H transmission for 6 days from Jan 14 to Jan 20 does not make them culpable for 70000 US deaths. It is not that once the US learnt of H2H transmission on Jan20th and knew that the virus was in US, it shut down all public events. The US still proceeded to have the Chinese New Years parade in Manhattan, the LA marathon still happened on March 8th.
