Not even China? They closed domestic travel out of Wuhan but kept International open. That helped them crush the Hong Kong protests for good thats for sure. Plus it helped them propel their national tracking systems.People will throw you in a pit of snakes if it makes them a dollar, not just govts.
And yeah, I don't think the govts wanted it to spread.
Look, with every crisis, either man made or natural comes alot of opportunity, to think there werent governments or elements/people in governments along with giant corporate banking cartels drooling for this to happen is hillarious.
Not saying I wish this ever happens again, but if I knew back then what I knew today Id more than likely made at least a half a million dollars with a small investment working out of my basement bunker.
