Never tell me that this crisis was Trump's fault. NEVER. China's malfeasance delayed the entire world's response to this virus. Not just ours. Here are the key findings from the 'Five Eyes' Dossier:
NOVEMBER 9, 2015
Wuhan Institute of Virology publish a study revealing they created a new virus in the lab from SARS-CoV.
DECEMBER 6, 2019
Five days after a man linked to Wuhan’s seafood market presented pneumonia-like symptoms, his wife contracts it, suggesting human to human transmission.
DECEMBER 27
China’s health authorities told a novel disease, then affecting some 180 patients, was caused by a new coronavirus.
DECEMBER 26-30
Evidence of new virus emerges from Wuhan patient data.
DECEMBER 31
Chinese internet authorities begin censoring terms from social media such as Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia.
JANUARY 1, 2020
Eight Wuhan doctors who warned about new virus are detained and condemned.
JANUARY 3
China’s top health authority issues a gag order.
JANUARY 5
Wuhan Municipal Health Commission stops releasing daily updates on new cases. Continues until January 18.
JANUARY 10
PRC official Wang Guangfa says outbreak “under control” and mostly a “mild condition”.
JANUARY 12
Professor Zhang Yongzhen’s lab in Shanghai is closed by authorities for “rectification”, one day after it shares genomic sequence data with the world for the first time.
JANUARY 14
PRC National Health Commission chief Ma Xiaowei privately warns colleagues the virus is likely to develop into a major public health event.
JANUARY 24
Officials in Beijing prevent the Wuhan Institute of Virology from sharing sample isolates with the University of Texas.
FEBRUARY 6
China’s internet watchdog tightens controls on social media platforms.
FEBRUARY 9
Citizen-journalist and local businessman Fang Bin disappears.
APRIL 17
Wuhan belatedly raises its official fatalities by 1290.
"China deliberately suppressed or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak in an “assault on international transparency’’ that cost tens of thousands of lives, according to a dossier prepared by concerned Western governments on the COVID-19 contagion.
The 15-page research document, obtained by The Saturday Telegraph, lays the foundation for the case of negligence being mounted against China.
It states that to the “endangerment of other countries” the Chinese government covered-up news of the virus by silencing or “disappearing” doctors who spoke out, destroying evidence of it in laboratories and refusing to provide live samples to international scientists who were working on a vaccine."
