This is not to say the USA was to blame for this virus,but refusal to acknowledge or investigate when our Intelligence agency began to pass warnings, very early on, about what would happen if we did not act, and subsequent actions were counterproductive.
Count me in as someone who is far more interested in what the medical doctors have to say than to ANY political rhetoric on this issue.
