China reported to WHO, that it had EVERYTHING under control and that virus was not lethal to humans.

China is west to the USA.

At the time it was not yet know that the virus is lethal, that’s all that was reported.

Everything was also under control in China, as was later confirmed. Unfortunately by the time the virus was detected in China, it was already spread throughout Europe, since at least November 2019.

I really didn’t expect this sort of rejection of science and facts on HN.

IIRC even when Wuhan had been under total lockdown China was still upset that other countries called for flight bans from China. How is that responsible behavior?
