    For me, the pivotal moment was reading Jan 24th Lancet paper on clinical profile of patients infected with #SARSCoV2 (this was not just the flu). By Jan 16th, clear it would become a global problem. All pointed to need to treat COVID-19 like SARS or MERS event.

        Bizarre view that China's epidemic naturally went away. No. Draconian social distancing + testing + 99-100% contact tracing + top medical care. WHO Mission to China report clear on this policy response. No one sat back and said, let's see what happens...

        The danger is that when we are told so many lies, we may no longer recognise the truth.

        Devi Sridhar tells the truth. Seek out those that tell the truth. Try @IndependentSage. They are not tied to government and experts in their own fields, headed by Sir David King.

        I'm not a medic. I was watching news reports, once it hit France, I went into lockdown.

        The virus is SARS-CoV-2. Why didn't the virologists kick up a fuss?

        Why then did SAGE consider it to be like flu? Did no-one read this paper and speak up?

        Before the first press conference they used a 13 year old model of viral pneumonia for their projections. Scientists discovered this immediately. Has different attributes to this coronavirus. Very little known about this virus then.
