China and Covid-19: what went wrong in Wuhan?
The first days and weeks of the pandemic were crucial. So why was no action taken? Through a six-month investigation in the city, the FT has uncovered the answers
China did delay revealing the true situation with the virus spread. They did, through the WHO, attempt to say human to human transmission was not known as late as mid January.
The virus originated in markets which followed shocking health and safety and food standards, yet the authoritarian government chose not to shut them down. The same government who don’t even allow citizens to access the open Internet.
How are they not to blame ?

I agree.
A respiratory virus in the 21st century coincidentally originated in china , they covered it's seriousness up for months despite its potential to be pandemic level of danger. The virus got free of China and it was up to other countries to contain it themselves to stop it getting out of control.
A virus that is thought to have originated from a mammal transferred over to humans and its effect led to deaths. In fact despite no official confirmation , it is theorised to come from bats by some scientists.
It's effects did spread to other countries and it was found to be spread much the same way as influenza or other coronaviruses.
..…................................................
Oh wait. That's the first one that came from China 17 years ago.
This all happened literally 17 years ago, similar virus , similar source , the same country, same cover up , actually came clean about it in the same month with a similar time scale since they discovered it.
The two viruses are named sars-cov-1 and sars-cov-2.
Like I say, there is coincidence and there is pattern. Of the hundreds of different countries in this world, the same country has developed two pandemic level respiratory viruses within 16 years of each other from the same bats.
Funny that.

An administration that 'sought to downplay the potential threat of the virus and initially lobbied against “excessive actions”, such as the early declaration of a global health emergency and travel bans'....China and Covid-19: what went wrong in Wuhan?

Hmmm, that sounds familiar.
It couldn't be that all governments act like this, could it?
Also, as a Singapore based infectious disease expert stated: “You’ve got to remember this was a novel virus and chaos is really normal, especially at the beginning of an outbreak,” said Dr Fisher, who has experience working in west African Ebola hotspots and was a member of a WHO delegation that visited China in mid-February. “You don’t want to push [the panic] button until you’ve got reasonable confidence [in your diagnosis].”

For being 'active in the resistance' she portrayed a distinct lack of testicular fortitude.
Maybe it just dawned on her she'd left her roasties in the oven.

Sophie Scholl was beheaded for standing up to the world's greatest killing machine; that divvy bursts into tears when told she's an embarrassment.
I can defo see the similarities.
It’s very peculiar that you’re so against any criticism of China’s handling of the virus, and resort to desperate nonsense like the last line of your post.
