In fact, almost from the beginning of 2020, certain information about what was happening in China was already available. even then the spread of the virus and the number of sick and dead were terrifying, and even then every government had to act, and not wait for the virus to come to specific countries. After all, when the epidemic began in Europe, it was only then that they began to realize that these countries did not have personal protective equipment reserves not only for people, but also for medical workers, and mechanical ventilation devices Not even enough for 10% of those in need. But now everyone understands how today's healthcare system is ineffective.
A lot of unexpected events happened, even when the year have just only started, such as the conflicts between countries for oil and others where, it might have contributed why we are not that ready for the pandemic. At first, when the news about the virus started in the internet, not all have shown that much care, other countries disregard what might happen and did not make necessary first hand actions such as banning flights in and out to China like here in our country. The Government have disregarded the fact that the virus is really contagious until infections have run out in the entire country. But for now, we all should be cooperative and have the responsibility to be obedient to the rules set by the officials to properly lessen the spread of the virus.
Hopefully, a cure would soon be discovered before, the economy will totally crumble.
