While the world seems to be obsessed with who developed Covid-19, writing stories about the Wuhan Institute and Dr Fauci, I frankly do not care who or how the virus was developed,
1)
and to be blunt, similar research has been continuing elsewhere at Moscow and Porton Down, UK.

What I am interested in doing is understanding what happened after this horrific virus was released from the lab.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
2)
China should have, upon discovery that some in Wuhan were sick, isolated the city of Wuhan from the rest of China, immediately informed The Who of the problem, and soon after, informed all the Technically advanced nations of the problem.
3)
The world would have sprung into action and helped China stop Covid before it spread beyond Wuhan.

But China made a different choice. They isolated Wuhan, failed to properly inform The Who, and kept the whole thing a secret for 3 1/2 months...
4)
while purposefully issuing exit visas for travel to the USA and Europe for travel in January 2020, buying up protective equipment quietly worldwide creating shortages everywhere, and when information started to leak in December and January of a disease in China,
5)
the Chinese Government denied everything and lied about it as far as January 20 2020 when they lied to interviews at Davos.

And the virus that should have been stopped in Wuhan China, became a pandemic that has damaged much of the world...
6)
and still is damaging more. China lied and People worldwide died and economies were ruined. Worldwide.

And now, 19 months after the outbreak in Wuhan China, China is doing fine. Only China is doing fine, reporting net economic growth,
7)
aggressively extending its power in the Western Pacific, ending human rights in Hong Kong, threatening Taiwan and Austrailia, and more.
8)
WHAT THE BEIJING REGIME HAS COST THE WORLD IN LIVES LOST AND FINANCIAL RUIN IS INCALCULABLE. AND IF THE WORLD IGNORES THAT FACT FOR THE POWERFUL TO DO BUSINESS WITH CHINA FOR FINANCIAL GAIN, IT WILL BE CRIMINAL.
9)
SOME COUNTRIES ARE DOING OK, AND WILL COME OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC WITHOUT CRIPPLING DAMAGE.

The USA will come out OK, because the US is rather self-sufficient in resources and because its economy was solid and growing prior to Covid,
10)
though recovery will be uneven and changes made because of Covid will mean nothing will be going back to what was. Thousands of businesses are gone forever. Uncounted lives have been disrupted and will take a long time to recover.
11)
Americans who do not work for Government (who unfairly never had their lives as disrupted as the rest of us) have lost savings and lowered standards of living.
12)
Israel will come out of this OK because of a great medical delivery system and great planning, but the loss of international tourism will be felt for a long long time. The UK is doing well with vaccination rates, and will do OK. Europe is a different story.
13)
Recovery is going to be very difficult in most European nations and those areas that are tourism dependent, will continue to suffer enormous losses. And the rest of the world, we’ll see, as things seem to be getting worse on all levels.
14)
What it looks like when this is over, is that the economies of the world will have contracted, recoveries will take a long time, and some things will never go back to what they are, particularly for people who have lost businesses, gone bankrupt, or lost family to Covid.
15)
And all the while, massive debt is being run up by governments trying to lessen the suffering and that too will have long term negative effects.
16)
So, what now? Do we all just learn a lesson from this and move on? Do we forget how this all began and spread because some will find more profit that way?

Or will there be some measure of justice?
17)
Some time ago, I wrote that the US and Europe should. Cancel all debt held by China as partial reparations. I was not sure of the law then, but I am now. It is legal to declare that all US debt held by China is now null and void.
18)
Europe can do the same under the WTO Trade rules. And China should be put on notice, that illegal trade practices, coercion against US interests, and aggression in the Pacific will not be tolerated. That is a start."
