Wag the Dog?

It's interesting how easily some people have decided to blame China for our virus outbreak.  This strategy was led by the President who likes to play Wag the Dog.

This is a strategy where you deflect blame by finding an enemy that can become the focus.

Now let's accept that the virus originated in China and let's even assume they weren't totally truthful about the details (they are a Government) why does it matter?

We had sufficient warning but still failed to prepare adequately.

In fairness it might have been difficult for anyone, but the documented video record shows how our leadership dropped the ball.

At this point a need to mitigate the damage to both health and the economy, but I've seen comments about not ordering Chinese takeout in retribution (that food is locally made) and we see an increase in attacks on Asian Americans.

Just consider whether it matters of the virus jumped to humans in China, that's just use some common sense, they have the most people in the world and therefore the most opportunity.

Since they seemed to handle it better than we did, maybe a should find out how?
