I’m not sure how it was ever ‘useful’ to refer to Covid as the ‘China Virus’, Andy. Didn’t/doesn’t everyone know that the original virus originated in China, more specifically in Wuhan? There was, at the time, just the one virus and the only question that continues to need an urgent answer is whether the source was a ‘wet market’ or, much more sinisterly, a laboratory.
As regards the ‘finger of blame’...the fact is that some countries, ironically China included, appear to have proved much better at managing the virus than others.
Unfortunately the Trump (you call him what you want
) led USA and the UK have, according to all the statistics, been amongst the worst performers in terms of managing the impact of the pandemic upon our two countries. That is, sadly, just inescapable fact.
Fortunately our Government has gone some way to redeeming itself via its management of the vaccine.
So, ultimately it’s just a case of credit and criticism where it’s due.
HMG appears to deserve credit for the actions it has taken in relation to supply and distribution of the vaccine since the turn of the year and hopefully that will continue to be the case.
It also deserves condemnation and criticism for the shambolic series of contradictions and U turns that typified its performance for much of 2020.
