The blame game on pandemics is a bit of a slippery slope...we have so many people making various selfish decisions that aren't mindful of the bigger picture.

The inability to put strict regulatory controls in place regarding the environment resulting in global climate change - resulting in viruses locked under ice coming to the surface.

The inability to restrict and enforce regulations regarding the care and handling and interaction with wildlife. Hunting, gathering and using animals and wildlife for personal gain.

Venturing into wild areas without taking precautions.

Placing a high priority on entertainment, travel, cruises, amusement, sporting events, concerts, profit and a low priority on health care, public transportation, infrastructure.

Etc.

Humanity's selfishness and me first/frak the consequences attitude is why the pandemic happened.

When we start pointing fingers, which is of course what we all love to do more than anything - it never ends. Who is to blame? Everyone? Now, what? Learn from our mistakes and change our priorities and figure out how to solve the problem at hand.
