There needs to be a discussion about how China is going to compensate the world for covid19. Given the thousands of lives lost and billions of lives disrupted, it seems unfair and unwise to let the source of the loss escape shouldering the cost.

You’re missing my point. Why should the other countries have to keep acting to clean up China’s mess? Shouldn’t China be responsible for that?

Also, given that China concealed the full extent of the outbreak for as long as they could, I disagree that the rest of the world had a fair opportunity to deal with it.

Then they are only paying a small fraction of the mess they’ve created. What about the lives lost in Korea, and Italy, and Iran? Why should those countries suffer because China won’t practice basic hygiene and eats unsafe food?

You’re almost completely wrong.

Legally, wether you’re an employee or independent contractor matters for everything from the Americans With Disabilities Act through Workers Compensation, not to mention, taxes.

Wether the company offers benefits to hourly employees is largely an internal decision.

How can you not think that what young people need is to spend more time stoned?

That would certainly incentivize pharma to develop the next antiviral, wouldn’t it?
