What exactly is earlier? There were a lot of information coming out of China, Italy, Spain and France. Don't tell me they only looked at US data and information and do not trust the rest of the world because their healthcare system is not as good as US - like the test they cock-up. Pleassseddd.

the lockdown in Wuhan in mid-January is the best information available. WHO was also slow to declare it as pandemic despite the virus spreading to US. Some European countries make it worse when allowing massive gathering even in March. The West shot itself in the foot.

Here is more data on what some doctors in US were already worried: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/6879-2020-covid-19-red-dawn-rising/66f590d5cd41e11bea0f/optimized/full.pdf#page=1

The thread of the email started on 28 Jan 2020. I am sure there already exchange of views on the seriousness of the pandemic much earlier.

And on 10 Jan 2020, the COVID 19 genome sequence was made publicly available by China.

So the doctors sleeping.....

Typical Western, especially US to blame others for all their failings and only they can be right, what a lot of craps....
