Frankly i am more appaled by the terrible job of WHO and CDC that did everything they could not to stop the spread of the disease until it was too late. WHO even refused to declare pandemic when it clearly fit its definition and only begrudgingly did this after countries started declaring it locally.

COVID should have not left eastern asia. Yet when Japanese somehow decided to release known infected people to go whereever they want (diamond princess ship case) CDC decided that no isolation is needed after they were flown back to US.

And SARS burned out so fast noone actually developed countermeasures. Even Canada that was more effected and had some medical stocpiles done by law have stopped that after 5 years and therefore wasnt prepared for SARS2.

Coranaviruses is not a new grouup of viruses, there were many other cornaviruses and some even had breakouts (though nothing on that scale). Most of them have evolved to low-to-none symptoms which is why we expected this virus to do the same.

A coal power plant has put out more radiation into the atmosphere in a year than all nuclear plants on the planet in thier lifetime. The only time nuclear plants beat coal plants in nuclear pollution was Chernobyl.
