I think China will be held primarily responsible, not solely responsible.
Again, when I say what I say, I'm coming from a global perspective, and not a U.S.-centric one...151 countries have been affected by the virus. That should tell you something right there. When the vast majority of countries in the world have been afflicted, psychologically speaking, that puts a lot of weight on the country of origin.
On one hand, there will be international law to consider, and the technicalities as they relate to the grievance with China. On the other hand, there will be the global court of public opinion, which will play heavily on determining some form of reparations.

But it's here and it's hurting us. It don't give a damn what our politics are. I'm scared. I don't want to lose anyone.
I know you're scared, Tocky, and I don't want you to be. It looks like I might have misinterpreted you previous post, and if I did, I apologize.
The last thing we need to be doing right now is cutting each other down and adding more conflict to the world.

I love this coronavirus thing. It's been great for my polls!
Oh, and uh, hopes and prayers.

Uh, just yesterday the idiot claimed 100 000 deaths would be a great win.

And yeah, the world would be a much better place if Trump just the shut the fuck up, and did his job quietly. Unfortunately for us, the presidency is his vanity project, so...

Oh, don't get me wrong, China is a seedy authoritarian state whose crimes are too many to count. But China is not the one who failed to take the threat seriously. And the draconian lockdown of Wuhan probably won some desperately needed time for the rest of the world.

Quote:
Last Wednesday, we published the success story from Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, after he successfully treated 350 coronavirus patients with 100 percent success using a cocktail of drugs: hydroxychloroquine, in combination with azithromycin (Z-Pak), an antibiotic to treat secondary infections, and zinc sulfate. Dr. Zelenko said he saw the symptom of shortness of breath resolved within four to six hours after treatment.
Now, Dr. Zelenko provides updates on the treatment after he successfully treated 699 COVID-19 patients in New York. In an exclusive interview with former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, Dr. Vladmir Zelenko shares the results of his latest study, which showed that out of his 699 patients treated, zero patients died, zero patients intubated, and four hospitalizations.
Dr. Zelenko said the whole treatment costs only $20 over a period of 5 days with 100% success.

I've seen people sometimes ask how is Trump's narcissism any different than Hillary's or any other politicians, and to me what they're really asking is what makes it pathological. This quote is a good example about why he's not just high on some narcissist spectrum, like a lot of alpha types in positions of power, but clearly in pathological territory with it. The amount of self-fixation & cognitive dissociation from reality required to obsess over ratings at a time like this (and this is only 1 of 4 Tweets doing it) is just too off the charts to expect a neurotypical person could do it unironically.

If the world really wanted to punish China, all the nations of the world would come together, strike a trade deal, and collectively pull their manufacturing contracts from the country.
Unfortunately, we won't do that. The world market is dependent upon the cheap goods and near slave labor China provides. Do you really think our leaders would take such drastic measures to punish an obviously bad actor? Of course not. They could barely muster up the resolve and willpower to shut the economy down for a couple of months to combat a disease running rampant across the globe. They will do no more so long as it risks their bottom line.
