1. Please edit your title somehow.

"If the US team was not removed, COVID-19 could have been stopped in China". The title sounds like it's all on China. Which, it mostly is, but in a global economy it's on all nations, that *should* pool resources to stay ahead of these things.

I am not trying to push the right wing talking point that "it is China's fault."

5. I appreciate that, but I thought a little more text could help when reading it fast.

Just my opinion.

6. We boast that the entire planet is intricately connected & are surprised at what travels with us?

Just have a look at the maps of airline flights -- daily, hourly. Seven Billion Humans.

No airports where you are? Never fear, little virus, a local highway will take you to the heart of the Navajo Rez, a local river and footpath will take you into the Amazon.

It's not about dietary habits that one part of the world thinks is tasty and another part of the world thinks is disgusting. It's about US as human beings, wherever we are.
