Would the situation be any better if it had emerged from some spot in Africa?

Why yes, yes it would! We would have far better visibility into the behavior of the virus, since those countries in Africa would have less capacity to cover up and mislead. And they would hot have had an ally in cover-up and misleading in the WHO, like China had.

Xenophobic Japan and its "lost decade" which is now extending to several is a good example of what happens when you have a aging population and no population growth.

Eugenics were very popular with both nazis in Germany and fascists in Italy, to the extent that sterilizing and even killing "defective" people was practiced. I think nazis and fascists were far right.

I am not saying you are far right, but your views would be welcomed by those with eugenics worldviews.
