Do you think Chinese politicians are superhuman who know things before anyone report on them? Xi Jinping had no problem locking down cities after he learned the severity of it. It's ludicrous to think he knew it in December but somehow

Any source for that? Google doesn't give me any result if I search "武汉肺炎" (Wuhan Pneumonia) prior to December 30. December 30 was definitively the first time it appeared on the news, and when it did, it quickly became the to

Wuhan was basically shut down for the whole quarter, but the rest of China was impacted for only a few weeks though. The shutdown started on Jan. 23 and things were already reopening by mid-February, and mostly back to normal in March. htt

Western countries most likely still aren't testing mild patients. SK and China went for full containment: every single positive case is hospitalized and close contacts are quarantined in hotels so few cases are missed. While in New Yor

Thousands already died in Italy over the last several days with less than 20,000 cases (most of those cases are still active so thousands more will die in the coming days before the lockdown even shows effect, if it is effective). You'

How about 2,200 deaths in Wuhan of 10m people, only because it’s sealed off just in time so it’s not replicated in other cities across China?
