      One year ago. There was, of course, significant evidence. (Healthcare workers in Wuhan who had never been to the market were falling sick). It was covered up. Taiwan didn’t believe it and responded quickly with masks, gathering & travel restrictions. They have concerts there now.https://twitter.com/chicoharlan/status/1344655021883985920 …

      One year ago today, the WHO was informed of a "pneumonia of unknown cause" in Wuhan, China. "No evidence of significant human-to-human transmission." "WHO does not recommend any specific measures for travelers." https://bit.ly/2LartAc

      Taiwan could read the tea leaves having spent a lot of time dealing with Chinese misinformation, plus their VP was an epidemiologist. They saw the evidence early and acted early. Wish I was living there these days.

      There was a time when the tea leaves were big enough for the west to read, sometime in April at the latest? We're still not reading them like Taiwan for some reason

      What April? We knew everything we needed to know in January. There was zero wiggle-room left by the end of January.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1222652819179634688 …

      Significant #nCoV2019 paper *just* out at @NEJM. Bad news, which we kinda knew, is there is sustained human-to-human transmission. Goodish news: R0 estimate is 2.2, lower than SARS. But won't be easier to contain because 2020 is more connected than 2003. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001316 …

          I know. I ordered masks in January and knew there was a real problem when the order was canceled. But even after several waves and thousands dead, governments around the world are NOT following established best practices
