And then there is

None of these sources are famous for supporting the President.
Seems to me that control measures started at least 6 weeks ago. You say
we should have shut down everything 8 weeks ago. At that time (Jan12)
there were on ly 41 cases in China, and we were just starting to learn
about it, despite the chicoms efforts to hide the disease. The doctor
who blew the whistle was "diseased" on Jan 10, but still alive.

The first two patients in Shenzhen city transferred into negative
pressure room in Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen City due to
matching lab test result, symptoms, and epidemiology and are being
listed as suspected cases. The cases was not confirmed at the time,
because requirement from the Chinese government at the time was that
first case in each individual cities need to be submitted to provincial
CDC, verified by national CDC, and then evaluated and confirmed by a
specific diagnostic team in national CDC.^[67]

I'm afraid it's too late. We just started restricting travel and banning large groups in the last couple days instead of eight weeks ago.
Unfortunately, I have a sinking feeling that we already have more cases than Europe, we just don't know it yet.
No way to tell because we didn't start producing test kits until last week instead of at the beginning of February, or better yet, mid January when things started going out of control in China.
