Did you read Gwynne Dyer's essay, "Missing The Bus?"

Dyer accuses Western countries of failure to react when the virus showed up in China. "They didn’t even stock up on masks, ventilators and protective clothing. They let the infection spread so widely that only a long, full lockdown could contain it. Why? Arrogance, wishful thinking, and a fierce determination not to harm economic growth."
Appalling.
