China did not warn of likely pandemic for 6 critical days, says report

A major negligence has been revealed about the early days of this disease in China amidst the continued havoc of the corona virus in the whole world including India. According to reports, in the first 6 days after Corona’s case, top Chinese officials had realized that they were going to face a global epidemic.

Despite this, they kept this thing hidden. Not only this, a large banquet was also organized for thousands of people in the city of Wuhan, which is the center of the disease, and millions had started traveling for the New Year celebrations.

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, that is, January 20, after the Corona infection case escalated in China. According to some documents acquired by the news agency Associated Press based on internal documents and retrospective estimates, President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, January 20. By that time, around 3000 people had been infected. This information has come after some experts speculate on these documents.

The mistake made by Chinese authorities from 14 January to 20 January is also important because governments around the world have been trying for a month to stop the type of the virus. Other governments also made a mistake in understanding its dangerous level, but due to the negligence of China in the first phase, it has now reached 2 million people.

According to epidemiologist ZuoFeng Zhang at the University of California, “If they (China) had taken action earlier, the number of patients would have been much less and we would have had the proper medical resources.”

The documents reveal that Ma Xiaowei , head of China’s National Health Commission, conducted a confidential assessment with provincial health officials on 14 January. A memorandum (memo) stated that a teleconference was also held to elicit instructions from President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and Vice Premier Sun Chunlan on the corona virus. However, it is not clear what those instructions were.
