Not sure what he is seeing that leads him to conclude someone isn’t open to cooperation. Information is being shared across national borders, and about 207 nations have not only been testing, but reporting out numbers for others to see.

That never seems to go as intended. Expect two, maybe three countries shouldering the main expenses.
