Does China owe the world an apology?

@SW-User Many/most pathogens in recent human history arose from livestock - but few think we should stop farming. Or hunting for that matter.

The initial coverup is another story.

@QuixoticSoul Maybe it's also slowly getting time for China, to introduce safety requirments in their food-policies Q.

We have this China-Study think tank at the University of Brussels... and they are pretty critical about how China food-security policies are. Specially since it's not the first time that a sickness pops up from a badly supervised foodmarket over there.

Bingo👍️@Kwek00

@SW-User Yeah, but that's only China's responsibility. The world was warned during the SARS epidemic too. If we wanna apoint blame, maybe the world governements should also look into the mirror. Because when the SARS thing happened, a lot of virologists were demanding for more research on an international stage to combat certain viruses that have a high chance of causing a pandemic. But the world didn't pay attention. This could/should have been on the WHO and UN agenda and something that people could have worked on together because now it will all cost us a lot. If it's not lifes, it will be the recesion that comes with it. While on the international stage people could have invested in monitoring these things. But now a days international cooperation and the UN aren't really held in high esteem.

I agree. Sad but true.@Kwek00
