The policies that allowed it to become a worldwide pandemic?
Yes. That's not really relevant to what Arch said. We don't gloat over people's deaths here, however disreputable they may have been in life, because that not only violates site rules but reflects poorly on us as people.
Eh. It definitely reflects poorly on those who do, but I doubt that would stop most people here. Most comments here have attempted to go as far as they can within the limits of the rules. Not sure they care how it reflects on them, and why would they? You're only wary of another entity when it possesses equivalent power or prospects. The only thing that would stop them otherwise is something they're not in possession of to begin with.
