I can guarantee you this. Just like you think WHO was doing their job, China talked to them: "Hey, it just a common flu. We can handle it". WHO then annouced it "an atypical disease". When Taiwan gave the warning, China said: "Dump it. The virus is from bats". Then magazines wrote about bats. When China failed to control the spread, WHO admitted the person-to-person transmission and declared global pandemic.
Just do the math, from Dec. 31 when Taiwan warned till Jan. 14 when WHO said "there was only limited human-to-human transmission", how many people migrated from Wuhan and spreaded the virus all over the world. Was it a coincedence that Russia and North Korea, two of China's closest allies was the first countries to close their borders with China.
Oh hey, how about the virus name. WHO must be so vocal in changing it.
i understand you formed your opinion from most likely some fox news style of racial tension evoking, which site might have been saying WHO first announced on january 14th
but thats plain wrong
WHO was talking about it january 1st.
what you got to realise is the reality of things
again. because you seem very ignorant and blind or atleast purposefully avoiding reading this part. so i feel its my mission to repeat it to help you learn something
on DECEMBER 18th. it was a local hospital thing. something al hospitals around the world call a 'zebra' (analogy of it looks like its a horse but not quite the same as a horse) of ONE paient
local hospital then done some diagnoses and tests and sent off samples.
then over the next week new patients were coming in
on december 31 there were 27 patients and only 7 had severe symptoms.
again december 31st only 7 people with severe symptoms
yes it was a strange pathogen. but come on put your brain hat on. use a few thoughts to realise do you actually think its a pandemic with only 7 severe patients at this point
they seeked advice from multiple sources before december 31 but after december 18th. yep hospitals in other countries too. they seeked advice from specialists of terror attack possibilities of some gas attack possibility. other poisons. other food contaminates. sars virologist and other virologists.
here is the thing you are being ignorant of aswell
doctors. in any country are not suppose to raise a pandemic alarm on the whim of 7 patients. without having the results back that it is actually something big.
heck they are not even suppose to scream an outbreak scare until they are sure
China wuhan hospital was in communication with china CDC which ran the tests at microscopic level
who knew it was a new respiratory pathogen 'atypical respiratory disease'
china CDC got the results and who was informed that it was a new strain of sars on january 4th
again just incase you missed it out.
on december 18th-31st. was still the diagnostic stage. heck even the wuhan hospital themselves were not 100% sure what they were dealing with. it takes time to send off samples to labs and get it analysed.
i think you are just biasedly angry at china for a reason why america didnt act until march..
sorry but the world knew that it was a new strain of sars and more viralant in the first week of january
WHO were calling it novel corona virus outbreak on january forth. when at that very day there were only 44 patients ALL win wuhan. NO WHERE ELSE
