The timing of this, as cases are growing exponentially in NA and EU, while plateauing for the moment in China

They go on to blame these countries for "alarming levels of inaction" (which some of us agree with) but when the outbreak was only in China they were saying "there is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade"

They really are China's bitch, but in a way you can't blame them. If they don't do what China says, they will never have access to the country again, next time there's an outbreak. In that case, the rest of the world would be even more fucked. China already wants to replace the WHO with their own version. So I can see why they play along, although as we see now, it has pretty much fucked over the rest of the world.

But like that Dr said, fighting this is like fighting the wind. Not much you can do to prevent it, just have to deal with it.
