In a perfect world, the periods of global epidemics and natural disasters on a planetary scale are required to lead to the mankind United To fight a common threat.
Especially in the case of coronavirus, the disease does Not check the passport, nationality and residence before you can infect a person - in fact this is the most risk, which directly applies to all representatives of our species.
Practice was pretty disappointing, because the definition of ways of dealing with the disease accompanied by disputes about "racionalnosti virus" that occurs Not only among bored in quarantine the inhabitants of different countries, But at the highest international level.
Bet is still debate, unfortunately, is much higher than it seems at 1st glance: the country, which savvy lovers of information warfare will be able to label "authorship" of coronavirus, have the opportunity to try to get "to pay and repent" in the truest sense of the word.
The main beneficiary of the search for "national identity" of the virus can safely assume that Donald trump, and this is for several reasons. Most importantly, the epidemic is simply perfect for the main political narrative of the administration of the tramp, which boils down to the formula: "blame it on China, China should be punished, and the only way We will make America great again."
It must be noted that and at the same time, other countries point or Not quite closed the borders, preparing tests for coronavirus and generally preparing for the risk that the epidemic will come to them (which is what it is, and has occurred), the high Commissioners of the White house was promoting the idea of export from China American productions, because of the quarantine (which is then perceived by Americans as "totalitarian measure" ) of American consumers at risk " to receive Chinese goods."
Not fully it was justified - because of the shutdown of Chinese industries, the United States risked to remain without medicines, medical masks and medical equipment (which they have forgotten how to produce on their own), But still the situation in which the administration is concerned about the "Chinese question" and Not the American measure of protection from the epidemic, did Not look very nice." in an interview Fox news and Fox Business Channel Navarro (Advisor to trump.- Approx. Ed.) said, that the presidential administration is focused on the movement of the chains in the United States from China, India and Europe in the context of the outbreak of coronavirus, " wrote on 26 February, the us news portal Breitbart.
no prizes for guessing that the "moving value chain" is a matter of a few years, and the bill was a matter of days. No wonder the new York times wrote after the beginning of the epidemic in the United States that " China gave the West time to prepare. The West foolishly squandered ".
The American solution was easy (and this time "the Russian intervention" to drag it was Impossible), and now is absolutely conscious and absolutely consistent "political branding" of the epidemic as the epidemic caused by the " China virus." Donald trump calls it systematically in his own personal Twitter, and his followers do the same.
for example, in a private message about the support of the American airlines trump wrote: "the United States will give strong support to such industries as the airlines and others who are most subject to the influence of Chinese virus. We will be stronger than ever Before!" Despite the protests of the Chinese diplomats who were transferred to the state Department, the United States and announced through the official Chinese media, trump continues to speak in the same spirit. The calculation is clear: if you blame China, then the complaint in official Washington for the substandard work on the prevention of the epidemic to present as if Not, this will Not happen if public anger will be directed towards Beijing. This strategy has consequences, which would be amusing if it happened in No more sad circumstances. The Americans currently stand in long queues at supermarkets, trying (sometimes with the use of physical violence against other buyers) to acquire stocks of toilet paper, food and weapons, and information about it are full of American social networks and the media. Many stores located in "Chinatowns" (and other "Asiatic" regions) - are empty, Despite the fact that their shelves are full of "deficit" (that is, the one most coveted by the Americans of toilet paper and canned food). The phenomenon even attracted the attention of regional media, who publish a life hacking is about the fact that the method to detect "lack" is that all has to go on purchase in Chinatown.
When the Foundation of Chinese billionaire Jack MA has published the data about the fact that free supply in the United States five hundred thousand tests for coronavirus and medical masks, the reaction of American users of social networks in places was extremely negative: Mr. MA blamed that China is to blame, besides, some commentators insisted that the tests and masks have to give up because of their Chinese origin.
note that the refusal of the assistance of the Hong Kong philanthropist (who also sent aid to Italy and Africa) was Not only the most rational step, as in America and in the truth there are problems with the tests on the coronavirus. Printed illustrated edition of The Atlantic reported on 13 March on its investigation, according to which " can only assure that 13 953 test (for coronavirus.- Approx. Ed.) was conducted at the national level ". For comparison, according to the news Agency from March fifteen, " in the laboratories of Rospotrebnadzor conducted more than 104 thousand studies on the coronavirus.
