Why is China getting away with murder infecting the world with the virus?

Why is China getting away with murder infecting the world with the virus. Why are we suffering and when will it be some kind of retribution.

@24Superman just because the covid 19 virus started in China doesn't mean there are/were to blame, and what sort of retribution are you looking for?

Hi @24Superman. It's important not to place the blame on the Chinese people in terms of the coronavirus outbreak, as it wasn't their fault. Many citizens of China have unfortunately died as a result of the pandemic. I believe there have been loose discussions around whether the Chinese government will face consequences for their management of the virus, but I'm not sure if anything has been decided. Imposing sanctions on a country isn't simple or necessarily always the best thing to do, and it would also be incorrect to say that the Chinese government are the only government who've mishandled the pandemic. The focus right now should be on minimising the spread of the virus globally, and preventing death and illness caused by it.

Well said.
There have been thoughts, especially from the USA that China released the virus on purpose. This has not been proven and seems unlikely according to scientists. If it were true then yes, some sort of action needs to take place. Because of the secrecy surrounding the Chinese government they did at first cover up how bad it all was over there. I believe this was to try and contain it. But they have suffered along with the rest of us and many of them have died. I agree we now all need to work together to get rid of it from the world.
