puvo Admin Toasted Cheese captainbryce , thefleetsin Based on updated information, I realize my mistake in rushing to China's defense. As always, I am willing to own up to my mistakes. It seems to me that Chinese government may have had a bigger role in silencing the issue and thus not giving the world enough info to act more quickly. I will still hold back from saying how much they are responsible but I accept they are responsible for playing part in loss of human lives around the world. I suspect that, like a good many things in life the issue of China's responsibility for the pandemic is something which is neither black or white. The world-wide consensus among researchers appears to be that the virus was not man-made nor released deliberately from the lab, while China made huge efforts to contain it, and has become better at helping others to tackle it; on the other hand it was slow to recognise the outbreak, is busy hacking others to get ahead in the vaccine race and is using the emergency to extend its soft power, especially given the vacuum shown elsewhere in world leadership. Yes, I agree with what you said in your post. I believe China's lack of ethics was in terms of not sharing info quickly and not letting things out quickly. As if the danger posed by the virus was less important than potential loss of reputation China might have faced in letting the world know that a new disease which can spread from human contact had emerged in their country. I certainly do not see enough evidence to believe that virus is man made or intentionally manipulated.
