Not to refute any of your theories but an addition factor in the world not holding China accountable might be fear that it would set a precedent for when a different virus causes a future pandemic and is traced back to some other country. What if a virus comes from a US CAFO that does similar or worse damage than COVID19 has? Even if it wasn't from a lab, would the US be held responsible for the industry practices that created the conditions for the virus to come into being? Obviously if China intentionally unleashed the current pandemic on the world for their own purposes, some sort of response will have to be made, but short of that, it's hard to know where to draw the line that doesn't have a probability of burning some other country in the future.
- davismwfl 6y agoI don't think it would be unfair for any Country to allow immediate international experts to come in, see for themselves, and/or help aid the host country if need be to get to the bottom of it, even if it happened in the U.S. I agree that is probably naive to think but being arrogant with something like this just seems so dangerous. Even if it happened accidentally because of poor protocols, at least then it is known and can be addressed. I can see if this happened as like USAMRID the chances of them allowing just anyone in is likely somewhere around 0%, and I doubt they'd be super forthcoming publicly either. That said, my hope is they would react better to containing it immediately versus denying it and spending their time trying to quiet physicians and jail people who spoke out about it.
