Yes I very much agree, it would be important to know more about the origins. Still the fact is that March was the time it really went “viral” with all the excess mortality and widespread health impacts. So we lost all of February - January even if you account early warnings from WHO. Cases probably doubled into critical exponential increments only in late February / early March meaning there was enough time for fast action (see New Zealand, beginning of February).

Definitely tons of mistakes were made from the get go but FWIW CCP regime went all in with their dictatorial measures after they couldn’t hide it anymore (January/February).

Though I mostly care about my personal perspective / “realm of action” being European / Canadian so EU and NA I hold up to way higher standards basically.

Pretty much all of the governments in these regions waved away the risks even though they had all the high-caliber scientists and some press warnings early on in addition to WHO’s warnings.

It goes without saying that the “leader of the free world” wasn’t paying attention didn’t help either.
