i mean once it was detected in china, that it could have been stopped in that one city and not spread all over the world? Most of you think it came from a wet market? If those were not allowed in china, you think covid would have never happened?

COVID was inevitable. It could only be delayed, not stopped.

Not wholly prevented but tons of countries have very low case numbers because their citizens properly followed basic safety guidelines such as wearing masks. China itself only has 22 active cases as of a couple days ago from what I read.

That isn't what I said at all. The same COVID-19 would have spread. It just would have been called COVID-20, or something else if it were delayed.

There have been almost 90,000 cases and close to 5,000 deaths since the pandemic started, these are just the active cases currently. Yes, I believe their numbers they have a collectivist mindset and its believable that the population would band together and follow the safety guidelines.

No. It wouldnt have happened right now, but it very possibly would happen another time. Previous bat corona viruses have spread to mine workers for example. There were also the reports of SARS-COV2 being detected when they tested stored samples of pneumonia patients from early 2019 and at least one in 2018 in Europe. Whether those were real or just due to contamination when testing I cant say since the latest news was the findings were being submitted for peer review back in August and the media never reported the result.

Probably not completely but turning mask wearing into a partisan thing is one of the biggest reasons it got so bad to begin with.

Covid? Maybe

Pandemics? No

And it's depressing to see how badly we reacted to this one. There will be more down the line.

People calling it a hoax, people turning basic prevention and science into partisan political issues, people acting like saving lives and stopping the spread is a sign of weakness

We are totally fucked if a more deadly virus comes about

It could've been contained, but not prevented. I'm sure once it was discovered in China, it was already spread in other countries so it wouldn't have been possible to prevent its spread to just China. But there were a lot we could've done to contained the spread.

i could make a list, about the huge number of fuckups committed by china and the US, that landed us in the current situation. but i just dont feel like typing it all out.

it boils down to populist government leaders lying out their asses and doing everything they could to ignore the situation for far to long.

No even in the best of circumstances someone got exposed and went other places spreading it before it was detected.

We cannot have wholly prevented covid or any pandemics from ever happening...

but there is absolutely no excuse for 150k+ daily cases happening in the United States. Donald Trump's response to this crisis will be universally remembered by historians as being one of the worst performances ever by a United States president.
