For me it felt allways a bit strange how fast china acted. The virus was very fresh, nothing was known, just a few cases and china totaly locked down millions if people. Two, three months later, when we already had high numbers if cases in the west, lockdowns started in the west also. But everybody said, "we know nothing about this new virus". For me it allways like, china knew much more about the virus early on.

The local officials spent weeks covering up the extent of a fast spreading disease cluster. China didn't act fast.

The expectation should be that officials would act once they determined it was fast spreading, not once thousands of people are sick.

Of course this mistake was repeated in many countries.
