We might have been able to get details earlier before the CCP censorship kicked in if we had not blinded our disease surveillance apparatus in China.  Those US personnel built relationships with Chinese disease control experts and might have been able to get the straight story somehow.  The fact that we had these positions in place (probably post-SARS) means that the CDC knew a new outbreak was going to happen eventually.  

What was censored and when?   How is it that I've looked at this in great detail and somehow don't see that?  If you can give me details of this censorship, then maybe I can figure out what I'm missing.  Was it before the 8-day WHO-China Joint Mission Feb 16, where WHO doctors went through China, observed the hospitals & ran their tests? Was it before Jan. 28 when US virologist Ian Lipkin visited China to talk to the medical & political leaders about the outbreak?  Was it before the January 11 publication of the genome?  Was it before the January 4th call between the heads of the US CDC & China CDC about the outbreak?   Was it before the Dec. 31 notification to WHO?  Was it before the Dec. 30 coverage of the unknown pneumonia cases in the newspaper, and the elevation of the situation above the city's jurisdiction?  Was it before Dec. 15, when Ian Lipkin said he first heard of the pneumonia?
