There are plenty of accurate things to blame the Trump administration for, but this is flat out false and dangerously so. China lied and covered up until Jan 20, and even after. It’s also gravely disrespecting the Wuhan whistleblowers who risked everything. Please delete this.https://twitter.com/PodSaveAmerica/status/1245121589181476864 …

I mean is it so hard? We should have been prepared for this pandemic, which unfolded almost exactly like SARS including cover-up by China except we got a less consistent clinical presentation, so much harder to contain. Why make China "tell" Trump when it did nothing of the sort?

Unless you have reporting nobody else has, this did NOT happen. If China told the WHO of a "horrible pandemic" or even human-to-human transmission early Jan and WHO kept lying for many more weeks, time to set-up the crimes-against-humanity tribunals. https://twitter.com/Aziazi72907007/status/1245365588957859840 …

Yep, this is what happened. There absolutely needs to be an investigation into it. What did WHO know and when? It is a very, very good question. I hate to say this, but no guarantee we won't have future pandemics. It's perhaps the most important question. https://twitter.com/jay_how1971/status/1245366354343059457 …

China didn't inform us or the world, but yeah, there was no reason to wait even until January 20. The signs were there, and countries like Taiwan and the people of Hong Kong leapt to action first week of January. But not because China told anyone anything.https://twitter.com/gz48367515/status/1245370128650260480 …

Yep. The rumors were there by then. Taiwan figured it out by sending a team to Wuhan in December, and started January with mask production/distribution, travel ban, tracing. They have *five* total deaths, still, and they reopened their schools a month ago.https://twitter.com/GMerklin/status/1245378986252918785 …

Yes, very very true and important. It was the government of China, not the people of China. From the people of China we have seen heroism, suffering, whistleblowing, heroic medical work and also, amazing journalism (Caixin has been amazing, for example).https://twitter.com/cpltalk/status/1245382038481403905 …

Thank you Zeynep for your unwavering commitment to the truth -- you don't know how much this means to those of us who have witnessed and have to combat the lies and deception of the Chinese Communist Party for years.

well, technically Taiwan is the Republic of China so if you use that interpretation...
