Nobody could argue that an auction was gouging could they? Does EBay
still do auctions?

Just think how much you could sell those masks for on Ebay! Oh wait,
they’re not allowing price gouging are they.

You're
implying that the quarantine could have been perfect except they
intentionally let some people out who were destined to specific
countries. That's not realistic.
Quarantines always leak and the leak gets bigger over time. You let
somebody out because they're important or necessary to have
outside the
quarantine, then they want to get their family and friends out, so
they
pull strings or sneak them out. That's the early leaks. Nobody
realistically encircles the whole province, so it's only effective
until
people decide not to stay anymore. That's where the leak gets
bigger. A
quarantine is a best effort. It's also understood that
bureaucrats in
China are not adverse to taking bribes (I'm sure some of ours do
too).
"Closing a border" is only going to work when people actually are
willing to comply with the order not to cross.
So to think a quarantine in Wuhan was going to be perfect except for
when they wanted it to be is not realistic. As a parallel incident,
even the actual fascist gestapo couldn't keep all the Jews in Germany.
You haven't gone as far as to claim that the Chinese created the
virus,
but in case you were wondering: actual subject matter experts have
been
quite clear that this is a natural mutation of an existing virus.
How
they know that is beyond my ken, but I'm more inclined to believe
them
than to believe randos on the Internet.
There's nobody to blame for this. The Chinese didn't create the
virus
in a lab. The Chinese didn't attack us with a virus. Until you see
some credible evidence to the contrary I would appreciate not hearing
more about it. It might give you a direction in which to channel
your
frustrations, but it adds nothing useful to the discussion and
provides
no solutions.
