Times have changed 🎵
Pandemic getting worse
Kill off our grandparents
To lift this economic curse
Should we blame Trump's government?
For gutting the NSC?
Or should we blame the lies of Fox TV?

No, blame China, blame China... 🎶

(China warned WHO of outbreak on Dec. 31, 2019)
China gave notice of an outbreak long before adopting quarantine/shutdown measures:

Dec 31, 2019: China warned WHO of pneumonia outbreak

Jan 7: China identified novel virus

Jan 11: China records first death

Jan 23: China placed Wuhan under quarantine

To be clear, this is not at all a defense of China.
The point is the irresponsibility of blame-shifting and buck-passing.
It surely could have done more and given earlier notice, but Dec. 31 through a quarantine in mid-January was enough notice for the rest of world to act.
(And this silly song is a parody of a parody, the Oscar-nominated "Blame Canada" from South Park.)
