China told us end of December/early January and gave samples to every lab around the world, who asked. The Australian lab had it 1st week in January and developped the diagnostic kits within short time. You cannot declare pandemic when it is not a pandemic. You do not seem to understand the word pandemic = epidemic that is spreading across the whole world. Back in January with 44 dead, China did not even have epidemic, and WHO repeatedly warned that this virus has the potential to become pandemic, and nobody took it seriously.
Nobody took it serious because WHO didn't take it serious and the word potential is always used
by them just in case it gets worse then they think it's like a safeguard that nobody believes anymore..
They put their first main warnings out after the 20th of February when it was way to late and their
earlier responses where it's fine,not a problem it's easy to control because China has..
That's from their mission to China to finally look at the virus and that's what they based their
findings on.
They stated there was no need to put in travel restrictions before then.
This was their response for the public on the 20th of February.
For the public1.Recognize that COVID-19 is a new and concerning disease,but that outbreaks can managed with the right response and that the vast majority of infected people will recover.
So where are their danger warnings considering China had 75.000 cases then and over 2300
deaths.
No warnings or big concerns by them at all just carry on and do what citizens from every country
were told to do based on that information by WHO first posted on the 20th of FEBRUARY..
2.Begin now to adopt and rigorously practice the most important preventive measures for COVID-19 by frequent hand washing and always covering your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing.
3.Continually update yourself on COVID-19and its signs and symptoms (i.e. fever and dry cough), because the strategies and response activities will constantly improve as new information on this disease is accumulating every day.
4.Be prepared to actively support a response to COVID-19 in a variety of ways, including the adoption of more stringent โsocial distancingโ practices and helping the high-risk elderly population.
Unfortunately, Alan Jones, Sky News, Ray Hadley, Andrew Bolt etc all sniggered when China took drastic actions, while the WHO rightly commended them for doing it, and even now some are saying the world is over reacting.
Shock jock idiots get everything wrong and I can't see how they are still on air let alone that
some people actually believe them.
The problem is that only China could've contolled it the way they did and it's unrealistic to think
that any other country could do the same
If you did not know back in January that this is potentially dangerous then you do not listen/watch/read the right kind of news, but it really does not matter, it is not your job to know. If governments did not know, then they are in dereliction of their responsibilities. Now they try to blame China for their inaction.
It didn't matter what anyone said in January as most believed it was controlled inside China
because that's what China said and so they allowed five million people to leave China to infect
the world including Chinese nationals.
That's where the blaming China stems from.
The Governments went on what WHO told them as they are supposed to be the experts and
they also partially went on what China told them.
They were getting the wrong information and believed what WHO told them on the 20th of
February that it can be easily controlled.
