Yes, you can blame China for this.
Quote:Nine months and more than 1.1 million deaths later, there is still no transparent, independent investigation into the source of the virus.

There is no way the piece would run before the election. I wonder how long the editors have been sitting on it.

According to the URL it went live on the website on Monday, and was in print on Tuesday (election day).
