Seems like a circular reference. “I am cuz they are and they is cuz I am.”
No they're not. Even before it was a blip on the radar of the public China was already into draconian measures to contain it. Even before it was a blip on the radar of the general public President Trump was banning flights and quarantining. And even in countries where they don't give a darn about their people they are taking at the exact same steps. ALL countries and all leaders are reacting the same way.
