China has to clean up its act

China has to clean up its act, this pandemic that it has unleashed upon the world is a direct result of their inability to manage their own country.

Their wet markets are not the first time pandemics have been unleashed upon the world. Their recklessness has cost people their jobs, their livelihoods and people's lives. The hotspots are Europe and the United States, pretty much the developed world.

What happens when the Chinavirus gains a foothold in developing nations in Africa, South-East Asia, Central Asia and South America? They don't have the medical systems of the developed world, people don't have access to ventilators and sophisticated medical supplies.

They live in close quarters, they live in squalid conditions and a conventional lock-down doesn't work. Their governments don't have the resources to tackle the problems apart from maintaining power. I think we might escape the worst of it in Australia but I fear for those living in developing countries.

As it turns out, the developed world was hit the hardest with Europe and the United States leading infections and deaths. Brazil, India and Russia lead developing world infections with the Philippines and Indonesia leading Southeast Asian nations.

Singapore started well for a developed nation before succumbing to infections stemming from immigrant housing. This damaged their reputation, Hong Kong was going fantastic until China saw the opportunity to shut them down and Taiwan stared China down.

China has once again screwed over the world and their arrogance is breathtaking. They are using this pandemic to further their national interests in an unethical manner. The world needs to decouple from China so their only allies are Russia and North Korea.
