A good read about the early stages of Covid in China.

-as we all know, vast under reporting of cases.

-very weak, and underfunded centre for disease control in China.

Did you know? Influenza epidemic in China during the last winter.

-internal documents from the Chinese government that were leaked to CNN:

The Wuhan Files

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/30/asia/...ntl/index.html

Chinese officials gave the world more optimistic data than they had access to internally
China's system took on average 23 days to diagnose confirmed patients, and testing failures meant most received negative results until January 10
A history of underfunding, understaffing, poor morale and bureaucratic models of governance hampered China's early warning system, internal audits found

A large and previously undisclosed outbreak of influenza happened in early December in Hubei province.
