Myndigheterna i Wuhan kände till viruset redan i början-mitten av december. De rapporterade till Kommunistpartiets ledning i Peking, och frågade om de fick offentliggöra uppgifter om viruset.
Peking tillät inte detta förrän i januari. Då hade viruset redan spritts, och virusutbrottet blivit omöjligt att kontrollera.
Så fungerar samhället i en rigid gammal kommunistdiktatur. Tacka Kinas Kommunistparti för detta.

Wall Street Journal: Wuhan Mayor Says Beijing Rules Responsible for Lack of Transparency
Zhou Xianwang says central government needed to approve release of sensitive information about coronavirus
The mayor of Wuhan, the city at the epicenter of China’s viral outbreak, said rules imposed by Beijing limited what he could disclose about the threat posed by the pathogen, suggesting the central government was responsible for a lack of transparency that has marred the response to the fast-expanding health crisis.
Mr. Zhou used an interview with state broadcaster China Central Television to push back against criticism of Wuhan’s handling of the virus, saying his hands were tied by rules that required Beijing’s approval before releasing sensitive information. This mirrored complaints that local officials have expressed in private for years about President Xi Jinping’s rigid, top-down leadership style.
“As a local government official, after I get this kind of information I still have to wait for authorization before I can release it,” Mr. Zhou said. “This is one thing people don't understand.”
