Did WHO/China warn too late? A timeline (1/n).
https://twitter.com/JorisMeys/status/1256258019119202304
Conclusion:
14/n So less than 4 weeks after the initial warning:
- China shared a ton of sequences
- international teams determined spread patterns based on genomes
- WHO raised global alarm
- international teams developed multiple tests
15/n Did they miss the danger initially? Yes, they did. It wasn't immediately obvious this was very different from SARS and MERS, both of which have been contained. Our own experts were fooled in the same way as the Chinese. But jan 21, they were certain and we were told so.
16/16 So if a political leader is leaning heavily on keeping China and WHO responsible, there's only one reason for that:
distraction from the fact they weren't paying attention when they needed to, and they know that very well.
We were warned. WE didn't take it seriously.

Re: China WHO timeline
The 3rd death in China was reported on 20 January and on 23 January the WHO said that the outbreak did NOT constitute a public emergency of international concern and that there was NO evidence of the virus spreading between humans outside of China.
Not too sure where the experts in the UK were "supposedly" told of a problem by 21 January.
WHO declared this as a global emergency on 30 January.
There is too much "mis-information" being spread and the time for "Were our actions & timeline correct" given the reliable information that we had should be held once we return to some form of normality.
