Sigh. The WHO said that China had found no clear evidence of human-human transmission but based on similar diseases it's certainly possible and health care systems should be prepared. That is a responsible scientific response. Your link says "By Jan 2, 2020, 41 admitted hospital patients had been identified as having laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection" 4 days after the first cases were identified. Clearly there would be unidentified cases before that. Hindsight is very powerful.
