The doctors who died died of the virus itself, not because they were punished. The doctor who spoke out was chastised because he relayed info through an unofficial channel before the info was verified. Literally the same thing could and would have happened in the US. Enough.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1240304017407979525 …
No they did not take action when they had evidence. They did not have a "few cases of pneumonia." They had a novel coronavirus and they new it—Chinese scientists decoded the genome first week of January. 40K person potluck: January 18. Other governments have other issues.

Politicizing this pandemic as emblematic of an exceptional Chinese incompetence or cruelty does little but scapegoat a disaster that is of many govts' making. I hope you're ready to accept responsibility for the consequences engaging in this rhetoric will have for all of us. Bye!

They lied through SARS, they lied through this one. We barely contained SARS, and only because of luck with clinical symptoms (consistent fever). Denying this reality is a grave disservice to the people of China who suffer the most for these disasters.
