I’m not so sure that it matters, except to people who want to blame China for it (or blame the US CDC for working with the Wuhan lab). The Chinese government does deserve opprobrium for its slowness to release information. Some Chinese individuals did a good job of getting information out to the world in mid to late January despite their government. Then the US government and the WHO were slow to act on it.</p><p class="yiv6951254217MsoNormal">-- Carl</p><p class="yiv6951254217MsoNormal"> </p><div id="yiv6951254217yqt89529"
