Coronavirus will bankrupt more people than it kills — and that's the real global emergency | The Independent

• We may look back on coronavirus as the moment when the threads that hold the global economy together came unstuck

"Coronavirus’s economic danger is exponentially greater than its health risks to the public.

National Security Adviser: China ‘Covered Up’ Coronavirus, Hurt Response:

China’s government initially “covered up” the new coronavirus and delayed global response to the disease by at least two months, White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien said Wednesday.

Unfortunately, rather than using best practices, this outbreak in Wuhan was covered up.”
