valiant defense of CCP China by
@beijingwalker. Can someone expalin following :
1. Why did China wait till late Jan when they've known of the virus and infection for 2 months before then
2. Why was the whistleblower doc silenced
3. Why are so many defective PPE being shipped costing even more time & lives in various countries; why quality inspection regime was put in place only after several countries rejected the products
4. Why CCP is clamping down on research into source of virus? Why do they issue guidelines and when questioned, say the guidelines were not meant to be published (and hurriedly took down the web page)?
These make things very suspicious. Usually CCP manages and orchestrates information better than anyone else due to the iron grip and control they exercised on all media and information channels. Therefore when such information as above manages to leak out of even that iron grip and censorial control, it is difficult to discount
There are so many misinformation spreading around the internet, Let me correct some of those for you.
There is the timeline of events based on the wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Wenliang
1. 30 December 2019, The whistleblower Dr Li Reported the hospital about the "Sars" virus . and the leaked the info to his classmates later on the same day.
2. 31 December 2019, China informed WHO about covid 19 (the virus wasn't known by then)
3. 3rd Jan 2020, Dr Li was questioned and ordered to signed a letter of admonition promising not to "making false comments on the internet" again, then he returned to work.
Answer to your questions:
1. After the virus was reported to local hospital by Dr Li, it only took one day for China to report the covid 19 to WHO. So, i don't think China was trying to cover up anything, so your 2 months claim is baseless.
2. Dr Li was silenced few days after China informed WHO, so china's motive was definitely not to cover up. Dr Li leaked the info and claimed the virus was "Sars", actually it turns out this is a new virus Covid 19.
So, no one was actually really know what this virus was about. I would say it's safe to assume China silenced Dr Li was trying to avoid the public panic since they haven't confirmed the virus yet.
3. No doubt there are some low qualities medical supplies from Chinese companies. Some countries decided to purchase the medical supplies from the uncertified companies of their own choice instead the certified companies from the certified companies that Chinese government recommended.

This is an interesting article

"A
group of 27 public health scientists from eight countries signed an open letter this March in the Lancet medical journal issuing support to scientists and health professionals in China and “strongly condemn[ing] conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” The letter states that the scientific findings to date “overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife, as have so many other emerging pathogens.”
The Top US health adviser Dr fauci also believes the virus was the product of nature.
I think you guys are trying to hard to blame china. Let's just wait for the scientists to do their Job.
