Why should we expect anyone to step up? The default state of diseases is that they are not managed.
And as China (and maybe even Europe) do pivot, I'm not sure why they'd prioritise preventing it from spreading to Americans (we have troops stationed in the region) versus to their own homelands.
So disease spread in Africa affects America, but disease spread in America doesn't affect China or Europe?
>Why should we expect anyone to step up?
Why should we expect the US to step up? Funny how ONLY the US has responsibility for safeguarding the world, but the supposed new world leaders don't.
It's almost as if the double standard is off the charts.
