That is a very positive view which I admire and is somewhat true. However, their intention was not to give us the time which could have been a lot more if they hadn't covered it up in the first place and ignored all the warnings. It was when they finally found out that this thing can spread like wildfire and it can kill. Look at some of those European countries and the US. Nature is that, people don't care until it actually hit them hard as they do not want to be behind economically. And also because people get false reassurance into thinking this is just like flu, only about at least 10 times worse when you look at South Korea's stat.
