Covid-19 Has Cost The World a Fortune || No One Tells Us What To Do !
There is tons of speculation online on theorigins of corona virus with the foremost
likely source being an animal market in
Wuhan,or wet market, China. It is understood
that in these markets animals are kept in such
unsanitary conditions that it might be
considered animal cruelty in other countries.
Yet it is not the first time such a virus began its
destructive life form in humans in this way.
Sars being another.Another theory being put forward is that
corona-virus started in a Wuhan lab. This one
has been suggested by some American
politicians. There is an old saying, "There is
no smoke without any fire," so this one has
possibly some merit but it is difficult to find
proof without evidence and China is hardly
going to cooperate with any investigation
especially if it has done wrong.
America, and in particular President Trump are
not afraid to point their finger toward China's
direction. It is a pity other countries will not
follow suit. I suspect so many of them rely on
China for trade and tourism that they are too
afraid to speak out for offending their Chinese
trading partners.
What seems to be at the heart of the world's
problems is that there is no country that is
answerable to a higher authority. Sure
some rogue nations have sanctions placed
against them for their actions but many first world countries can hardly claim to be
squeaky clean as far as human rights and other
issues are concerned either.
Arrogance seems to be the problem. No one
tells us what to do!
Is it any coincidence that the worst affected
countries from covid-19 are the USA and UK,
both considered parent countries to so many
others. Some of the smaller countries had at
least had the humility to look at what has
happened in other countries with covid-19 and
learn from how they have dealt with it;
not just their successes but also their mistakes.
Arrogance say, "We'll do it our way."

There is no doubt that an investigation needs to
be conducted into the origin of corona virus
but who is going to force China to cooperate?
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison made
mention of the need for an investigation into
how corona virus started and China threatened to not take their meat exports.
What have they, (China) have got to hide?
How other countries behave affects others, one
perfect example of this is the migrant crisis which was brought about by human rights abuses in certain countries.
The United Nations, World Health Organisation
(WHO), Human Rights Commission, and
Amnesty International do good work in theworld but none of them have any authority to
force a particular country to do such and such.
There needs to be an organisation which all
countries are subject to.
I think New Zealand, Australia, and other
countries need to broaden their horizons and
seek new markets. Taiwan, Singapore, and
South Korea have all been responsible in
dealing with covid-19 so why not explore their
markets and open tourist routes with those
countries? We have become too reliant on China exposing ourselves to economic blackmail.

Covid-19 has cost the world a fortune (an
understatement). An investigation needs to be
carried out to establish the cause of the outbreak and to take steps to prevent it happening again. This is not about finger pointing but more about learning lessons that obviously have not been learned previously.
