Six days? The cover-up of the Wuhan Flu and its pandemic potential went on for much longer than six days, but the Associated Press highlights the final six days of Beijings initial campaign of lies and denial over COVID-19. Even though they knew that community transmission had turned the infection into a wildfire, China allowed Wuhan to host a party for tens of thousands, while watching millions transit to celebrate New Year.
In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations.
President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, Jan. 20. But by that time, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.
That delay from Jan. 14 to Jan. 20 was neither the first mistake made by Chinese officials at all levels in confronting the outbreak, nor the longest lag, as governments around the world have dragged their feet for weeks and even months in addressing the virus.
A mistake? This was no mistake. It was a deliberate cover-up by Beijing, which included public humiliation of those who tried to break the public silence. Furthermore, the reason other governments dragged their feet for weeks afterward was because China continued to lie about COVID-19 and suppress those who tried to tell the truth. To this day, China continues to promulgate bogus numbers in an attempt to play down their responsibility for unleashing this pandemic.

China should be treated as a pariah state. Withdraw all our manufacturing from there immediately.
Totally agree. They should be punished for their brutal ways.
chicom bump for later.....
We need to stop treating China as a first world nation. It needs to be treated the same as North Korea or some other Third World dictator ship, the only difference between the two is Chyna at least has some manufacturing going on only because they pay people slave wages to ship out crappy product all over the world.

Agree....Make ChiComs Pay for The Economy Crash and Pandemic Payouts.
So we can turn around and start borrowing from them again?
Nope.
Didn’t say that.
Yes.
. I am a little concerned about a military confrontation coming from all of this but one’s fears cannot dictate their actions on such an important matter.
It didn’t work with Hitler early on and did very very rarely does work.
Avoiding problem countries, that is.
You don't have to because we know that is exactly what they would do. America spends far more money than it takes in and like any addict will make a deal with the Devil in order to feed their habit.

Anytime you are pondering the “Covid-19 timeline” of events from Patient Zero onward, never forget that China hid the extent of the pandemic from the world until after the USA-China trade deal was signed on January 15.
CHINA LIED, PEOPLE DIED.
