Article contains plenty of disinfo itself : 'China tried to hide the outbreak for months' ( not true ). 'The Netherlands claim 50% of their China supplied tests are faulty'. I am Dutch and know nothing about faulty Chinese tests. There were faulty masks though.

  Yes, and below the first paragraph, it actually says NL rejected masks, not tests.

Except they did, Huang Yan Ling a graduate working in Wuhan virology lab has been traced as the likely first patient. They were also researching corona virus transfer in bats and looking for more researchers to help. They hid the information of this researcher due to her probably dying and not being around to quash the rumors, which are a dangerous thing to CCP power and face. China has been sending known faulty tests to all of the EU for the last month. It's a proven fact, to the point that they stopped accepting them and prefer US or EU produced tests instead. They knew about a infection as early as the last week of November and actively suppressed any information sent out from doctors questioning origins. It doesn't matter if it was local Wuhan officals or upper level CCP that ordered suppression, the entire government is liable for this outbreaks, origins containment and lack of control.

  I have not found any evidence to confirm any of the information you provide here. Do you have any credible citations?

  Please don't spread conspiracy theories about real people. The former graduate student you mention has already been the target of enough vicious online speculation.

  How is this 'months'. Concealed extent : there is a diffuse line between hiding extent and not testing enough. The latter is happening for sure in a lot of western countries, including my own.
