      Seems obvious, but good to see the US president saying it: they knew, but kept silent

      The most critical fact is human-to-human transmission. Extent of initial outbreak also important. And date of first case

      Do you think they deliberately kept those things secret? While it does seem that the WHO has not been super competent and is rather too much China's ... is excessively deferential to China, deliberately keeping human-to-human transmission secret would be much more serious.

          I think so yes. I remember reading day by day accounts of events in Wuhan. Everyone knew there was human to human transmission since December. There is no way the WHO did not know that in mid January. Taiwan knew (by knew I meant had proof) at end of December

          WHO is a pawn the king and queen are China and US. Your attention is pointed in the wrong place. If you think the US relies on WHO info to make these decisions then you’re absolutely wrong.

          Just because US response was inept doesn't mean we need to keep writing checks to WHO for *their* ineptitude.

          i've read somewhere in who report that they've found it in china that the spread occurred usually in families and other closed groups. isn't that it? what china did is covered up the screw up and high mortality rate in wuhan, which could've been helpful to the west. doubt so now.
