- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoEh. I would like to believe it, but pragmatist in me knows it is not true. I will add that willingly ignoring this facet is doing a disservice to pandemic handling. It simply cannot exist without political will and capital.
- jollybean 5y agoPolitical Concerns are inseparable from those things. Judicial Concerns matter as well, and we don't just ignore the manslaughter of 10's of millions of people because of populist concerns over xenophobia. If this were XYZ Corp. USA, and they killed 1 million Americans due to their lab accident - all of you (edit: 'all of us') would be screaming for life-sentences for the executives and a Trillion in damages for the victims, their families, and probably for a 'total overhaul' of relevant structures. And that wouldn't be political.
