Insulated within an information bubble
no direct personal memories of poverty, hunger, or turmoil
the improvement in the quality of life for countless millions
we all, together, have done a very good job
susceptible to triumphal propaganda
The world is now seeing a preview
it was all just talk
fostering an unstated desire
preparation for a funeral
the nature of wet markets
the nature of spillover into humans
An early cluster of cases
jump from species to species
diseases do not spontaneously jump between species
small but deadly disease outbreaks
never lurked terribly far below the surface
a growing number of conspiracy theories
blaming a nefarious bioengineered emergence
investigations have provided detailed information
supported by the vast majority of scientists
There has been no science supporting the escape theory
More recent evidence suggests
The answer to it is very subtle
Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.
But in general, the pattern is clear:
America has disastrously faltered
the grim and growing U.S. infection
too broad and too deep to censor
the swing of a pendulum
within private discussion
more paper than tiger
perceptions of a fundamental rebalancing
in a time of desperate need
The shift in grassroots sentiment is far more profound
has lasting global and strategic consequences
