The WHO or China could have withheld because neither knew enough to communicate (or knew anything was amiss at all).
ABC and someone else reported a few days ago about US intel saying there was some kind of respiratory illness disrupting things in September in Wuhan.
The problem with this is how does disruption that's bad enough to be noticed by our intell not get noticed by Chinese doctors and journalists? And what about the science that looks at the genetics and says it likely originated in late October?
Not sure how to square the report of a september virus with everything else we know. Maybe the most likely scenario is one where the intell is bad in the Trump administration and we should just believe the journalists and scientists.
My mom and dad also believe they had it in Nov-Dec. My mom was sick for over a month and they got sick on a cruise through Greece/Israel/Italy.
There is far more uncertainties than certainties at this point.
The thing that's for certain that I was pointing out is that someone doesn't know what they are talking about. Was there a virus causing major disruption in September? If so, then a whole lot of people are wrong about the viral origins and genetics. If there was no virus going around in September, then why does our intel say there was? Someone is very wrong or lying.
