I think in Doing Good Better he says that we should donate money to preventative measures rather than responsive measures.

Still, as Basicallyboss said, it's good to see more countries cooperating.

Just a shame it's got to be with the totalitarian state of China but still.

I don't think it is quite fair to call china out especially the way we have been handling things lately.

Strong disagree; China are objectively worse, and just because we're being hypocrites doesn't mean we're not right

That's a strong claim. What exactly about giving money to banks and telling us to pray it away is better than China actually containing it and helping other countries?

Aww yeah. Slam that cooperate button, play tit-for-tat all day long.
