Thanks for the info. If those dates are correct for the first week of Jan., then the CDC was actually very aggressive for a govt. agency, since Wuhan was still trying to cover it up that week. (See link below.) We need to think about why it took 4 weeks for US action, and what a major trading economy like the US can do. But ... note that December is missing from the timeline: The first known Wuhan hospitalization was Dec. 1, and since I travel a lot in Asia, I learned of a highly contagious, deadly flu there on Dec. 15. 1) So it took over a month for the CDC to find out, despite US funding of the Wuhan corona laboratory (the epicenter.) 2) When talking with mainland Chinese people, they say Chinese social media had active topics about flu in Nov. and Dec. Something to search for in Chinese. 3) I looked at the CDC web site recently for how to report an outbreak, and there is no direct way for a citizen to do so. They require you to report it via an allowed channel. Again, something to think about.
