@zeynep has been such a source of measured and evidence-based reassurance, one of the most helpful follows for me over the last year
Actually that's one of my pieces that turned out to be pretty much right, even though it was deducing things from the scraps of evidence! What do you think is wrong with it?
You didn't read the article!
It's been widely reported and confirmed that, indeed, Wuhan authorities hid the extend of the problem from their superiors and central government learned of the extent of the problem till much later—well into January. Then they acted. Which is what I had deduced and wrote.
Read the article! And read the follow up reporting which confirmed pretty much all of it. I cannot type the whole article or the evidence that has confirmed it since in one tweet! Have a good day.
