Notes -
It's really the most charitable explanation for the Western response as well -- I've personally settled on the theory that most first-world government agencies are a bitchin combination of evil and incompetent -- but if high-level officials had back-channel (ie. not publicly sharable) information from China that this virus was a potential bioweapon, what they did actually makes sense and might even have been a good idea.
The blackpill theory is that the virus was a bioweapon, designed to make ~everyone a drooling retard -- Mission Accomplished! (source: my lyin' eyes)
