China lied about literally EVERYTHING. Claims the first case was in December. It was [middle of November](https://www.livescience.com/first-case-coronavirus-found.html https://www.livescience.com/first-case-coronavirus-found.htm...) Other countries didn't even know there was much going on until December 30 thanks to Dr Li Wenliang [source](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30382-2/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...). He suddenly catches the disease and dies -- big coincidence in my opinion (especially as the death rate for someone 34 is 0.2%). This is at least SIX WEEKS after the initial infection. They have hundreds to thousands of cases, but they somehow conclude that human to human transmission isn't occurring. Middle of January, WHO itself [tweets out](https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fworld%2Fworld-health-organization-january-tweet-china-human-transmission-coronavirus https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152?ref_src=t...) that human to human transmission isn't happening. I'd note that Japan already had a case with NO links to any markets [source](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/01/16/national/science-health/japan-first-coronavirus-case/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/01/16/national/scienc...) Why would WHO do this? I don't know about the entire organization, but the WHO leader is [Tedros Adhanom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tedros_Adhanom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tedros_Adhanom). He is Ethiopian and works for the Ethiopian government. Ethiopia does 5.4 billion in trade with China let alone a 4 billion dollar direct investment [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Ethiopia_relations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Ethiopia_relatio...). China also holds almost half of Ethiopia's debt [source](https://www.cnn.com/style/article/addis-ababa-china-construction-style/index.html https://www.cnn.com/style/article/addis-ababa-china-construc...). Put simple, the WHO leader is compromised when it comes to China. This extends further with weird dodging of questions about Taiwan by another WHO official [source](https://twitter.com/ezracheungtoto/status/1243869774410469376 https://twitter.com/ezracheungtoto/status/124386977441046937...). Despite all this, the US still started screening people on Jan 17 [CDC source](https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0117-coronavirus-screening.html https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0117-coronavirus-sc...). If the disease were more like MERS or the original SARS, this would have likely been all that was needed. China throws a party with 40,000 people in Wuhan kicking an already huge problem into overdrive on January 18 [source](https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/02/06/wuhan-neighbourhood-sees-infections-after-40000-families-gather-for-potluck https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/02/06/wuhan-ne...) On January 20 (exactly 10 weeks ago), China still denied the virus was transmitting between people [source](http://wjw.wuhan.gov.cn/front/web/showDetail/2020012009077 http://wjw.wuhan.gov.cn/front/web/showDetail/2020012009077). Only on January 21 does someone at WHO finally conclude human to human transmission is happening [source](https://www.who.int/china/news/detail/22-01-2020-field-visit-wuhan-china-jan-2020 https://www.who.int/china/news/detail/22-01-2020-field-visit...). Compromised WHO leader continues to praise China's response [source](https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-statement-on-ihr-emergency-committee-on-novel-coronavirus https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-...). China allows hundreds of millions of people to travel over Chinese Lunar New Years (Jan 24-30). The idea that people from Wuhan hadn't already traveled elsewhere in the country is crazy given what we know about the 1-27 days before symptoms show.
