One weird thing about these threads is that people talk about China as if it’s this inscrutable, mysterious land from which we have no information. Maybe that was true 40 years ago, but now, at any given moment, there are many many thousands of Americans in China working and visiting. There are American scientists in China, there are American doctors in China.
For example, a friend recently shared a video on Youtube which is put on by The American Academy of Family Physicians. They interview Dr. Laura Jordhen, who is the chief of family medicine at a hospital in Shanghai. It’s now like a week old but it’s interesting to hear a doctor’s observations working on the front lines in China.

Yes, governments can hide things, especially during a Lockdown, but there were many American doctors in China during the outbreak, they were aware of what was happening. Maybe they assumed the US government would actually act on all the information and warnings they received .
