There’s been much liability passed around regarding who is most to blame for COVID-19. Should we blame the Chinese government? Should we challenge our own administration for being slow on the uptake? Perhaps at the end of the day we should blame ourselves for not taking it seriously, while we could have stopped it.
The Twenty-Five Days that COVID Brewed Belong to All of Us
The January 23, 2020 lock down of Wuhan was the decisive step in saving China. Although by then the virus tentacles were reaching out into the rest of the world. Those wasted twenty-five days represent the period when governments and scientists were arguing the question. The question how was it possible this could blow up in our faces.
When China admitted the worst, governments around the world went through the same struggle. How could this possibly happen to us, they wondered. And then they went back to business as usual while they waited for China to ‘sort it out’. And as for rest of us we thought ‘it can’t come here’ while COVID slipped across our borders.
The Full Story of the Tragedy of Errors That Followed
We are not doctors, we are not medical scientists and we certainly have no intention of playing politics. All we aim to do is inform what is happening in the hope in our small way of slowing the spread.
New York Times published a long version of what happened in the twenty-five days that COVID brewed. We added a link at the end of this article in case you would like to research the time-line further.
There are lessons we can learn from this, whether we are world leaders, scientists, or concerned citizens. Perhaps the most important lesson is we should not squabble over the tasty bits. We should share the knowledge we have, and come stronger out of it together.
