Dr. Wenliang’s message went viral, becoming the earliest warning of what we now know today as Covid-19. He returned to work, but contracted Covid from a patient, and died on February 7, 2020.

Four years later, investigations about the virus’s origins aren’t going forward, largely due to China’s reluctance to facilitate a comprehensive investigation by the WHO, the World Health Organization. Beijing’s hesitates to provide access to critical raw data which would not only help to identify the exact cause of the virus but not also facilitate preparation for future pandemics.

      If you’re this angry, then by all means, please leave.

      In the less developed world Covid was dubbed “rich man’s sickness” because only people who were affected were those who had the means to travel. But those few rich brought it back, and made it everyone’s problem. Am I angry with those people? No.

      Most governments were not handing this well. Your anger towards only one country’s government is misguided.
