Could this whole pandemic situation have been prevented somehow?

Or was it just inevitable? Maybe the virus couldn't have been stopped completely, but what I am wondering is if the threat could have at least been [b]slowed down[/b] before it became worse and worse.

it is a brand new virus right? how can people slow it down when no one really knew what we were dealing with at the start?
I think like most viruses it has to run its course before it slowly goes away.

I really do dislike how it has basically turned into a political weapon to make opposing sides look bad. Instead of fully focusing on a cure, people in power are just playing the blame game to win a election
