As we head into the fifth month of a global crisis described as the worst since World War 2, the mystery surrounding how the world only learnt of COVID-19’s severity once its rapid spread had already begun has fuelled a push for a probe into China’s handling of the disease.
It was nine days later, on January 20, that Chinese president Xi Jinping first publicly addressed the issue of the virus, saying it had to be "resolutely contained".The first case outside of China was reported by the WHO in Thailand on January 13. It was a woman who had arrived in the country from Wuhan.
that contained a public warning that the SARS virus outbreak “heralded a new era in the cross-species transmission of severe respiratory illness with globalisation leading to rapid spread around the world and massive economic impact.” On February 3, her team was the first to publicly report the mystery virus in Wuhan was a bat-derived coronavirus.In an email to Dr Shi and key officials in January, Yanyi Wang, the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology warned “inappropriate and inaccurate information” was causing “general panic”.
But in an interview with a US science magazine, she admits to “sleepless nights’’ when the outbreak first began.
Just come clean. The truth will come out sooner or later. It’s not as though we don’t know what really happened.....
WWIII is actually happening. We just don't realise itbyet
They knew earlier than that.
