A security guard wearing a face mask walks through a quiet main Qianmen Street, a popular tourist spot, in Beijing, Sunday, Feb. 16, 2020. China reported Sunday a drop in new virus cases for the third straight day, as it became apparent that the country's leadership was aware of the potential gravity of the situation well before the alarm was sounded.
The number of new cases in mainland China fell for a third straight day, China’s National Health Commission reported Sunday. The 2,009 new cases in the previous 24-hour period brought the total to 68,500. Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported that the person who died was a male in his 60s living in central Taiwan. The man had no recent overseas travel history and no known contact with virus patients, CNA said, citing Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung.
The disclosure of his speech indicates top leaders knew about the outbreak’s potential severity weeks before such dangers were made known to the public. It was not until late January that officials said the virus can spread between humans and public alarm began to rise. The anger reached a peak earlier this month following the death of Li Wenliang, a young doctor who was reprimanded by local police for trying to spread a warning about the virus. He ended up dying of the disease himself.
Overwhelmed by the number of suspected cases, the province has not been able to test every person exhibiting symptoms. The clinical diagnosis is based on doctors’ analyses and lung imaging and is intended to allow probable cases to be treated as confirmed ones without the need to wait for a lab result.
So if Xi knows about WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak right from the start, why does the outbreak still occurs? Apart from attempted censorship on internet and downplay of disease, we don't see any concrete precaution being conducted by him. Seems like Life of ppl means nothing to him
CoronavirusChina outbreak is due to CCP's hiding the info & not telling its ppl, so not enough precautions have been done. CCP values power over human lives. As usual they can't solve the problem, so they censor info again.
Actually members of CCP know how serious the WuhanCoronavirus spread is, but considering stability of the country, they still attempted to cover all the bad news. Chinazi Antichinazi
Because China government is rubbish CCP don’t care citizens alive or dead ChinaVirus China_is_terrorist ChinaCoronaVirus BoycottChina AnywherebutChina
Warden Xi is not capable of ruling a state, even a town.
All truth are covered by CCP
Because the government is too busy controlling people’s minds at the first place
If Xi Jinping has taken the lead to contain the outbreak, the failure means how incompetent the authoritarian system is when dealing with such a huge public health crisis.
Don't forget how China silence Doctor Li to hide the truth of WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak It is deliberate and China does want to sacrifice global health for his regime StandWithHongKong
He knew about the WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak , that’s why he and his fellow silenced whistle blower like Dr. LiWenliang Now they’re still trying to say the outbreak is not severe
Please !!!! We know what is going on and that American lady left cambodia sick went on an airplane and all how many people did she get sick? I guess only God knows Coronavirius coronavirususa CoronavirusUpdates
That's the paradox knowing it but not alerting the people and making concrete steps immediately to take care of it ?
Louie_Korest Joke.?
The people of ch!na take back your country
Emperor Xi concealed the seriousness of WuhanPneumonia and it has spread to the World to let all people to bear the responsibility! WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak antichinazi antitotalitarianism
CCP reacted too slowly and didn’t tell their ppl abt WuhanCoronavirus at the beginning. Nothing new, just like Chernobyl.
“Citizen reporters who challenge the narrative have disappeared”. lol. I bet “Tank Man “ knows where they are.
fujacky2 Why? CCP hoped to cover it up, as usual. Miserably failing.
China still concealing the truth of WuhanVirus outbreak and refusing US virus experts to offer help. This shows China is censoring so secret about the virus and a nasty plan may be undergoing to harm everyone in the world. Caution on them.
y_kitman Not to mention what his advice was from the biolab near Wuhan, and whether this has anything to do with the Chinese researchers arrested in Canada for industrial espionage.
Citizens are not allowed to know the truth in China
Because CCP's involvement is how to suppress the news of this WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak effectively and perfectly
It does not help to blame now. Please use energies to find a cure and keep people safe.
Fake they want you afraid
China is a communist dictatorship, and thus a bunch of lying thugs. So, we can't believe them at all on any Coronavirius stats.
'While seeking to show that China's leadership acted decisively early on in the new virus outbreak' By the time they started acting, the epidemic was out of control.
Keep your eyes on this crisis of health, we want to know how many people died
The Chinese were not alerted because they tried to stop the whistleblowers in the early stages
I actually applaud China for acting as quick as they did and getting the global public informed....they had to have time to figure out what they were dealing with....it's a tough job.
I don’t have my eyes on. What is that building!?!?
