Given the initial symptoms presented like 'flu and given it would need to spread madly for it to be worthy of review AND the time it would take to investigate there is no way this could have been contained anywhere in the world presuming it is a "natural" mutation of a viral strain. If it escaped from a lab... ...that is another story.
Despite the best efforts I doubt it is engineered but hey what would I know. Key is dealing with it. Elimination didn't and couldn't work. Minimisation while vaccines were created helped. Antivaxxers are fucktards selfishly putting the lives of others (those who can't be vaccinated and the highly vulnerable fuck their antivax mates) at risk. Misinformation that has meant lower vaccine uptake in remote communities is criminal and those responsible are culpable.
Management here has been lacking, especially from the top and a few places, like us, were incredibly lucky.
