Leaked Memo Reveals Chinese President Xi Knew Outbreak Was 'Severe' Epidemic Well Before He Admitted From Gateway Pundit: “In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations,” the Associated Press reported. The delay by the first country to face the new coronavirus came at a critical time — the beginning of the outbreak. China’s attempt to walk a line between alerting the public and avoiding panic set the stage for a pandemic that has infected more than 2 million people and taken more than 128,000 lives. “This is tremendous,” said Zuo-Feng Zhang, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “If they took action six days earlier, there would have been much fewer patients and medical facilities would have been sufficient. We might have avoided the collapse of Wuhan’s medical system.” During that same time, China told the World Health Organization (WHO) that there was no current “evidence of human-to-human transmission.” TRENDING: WOW! Dr. Fauci Admits He and Dr. Birx Were the Two 'Experts' Who Persuaded Trump to Kill the Economy with Their Garbage Predictions of 2.2 Million Deaths! The leaked documents come from “an anonymous source in the medical field who did not want to be named for fear of retribution, the AP said. Under a section titled “sober understanding of the situation,” the memo said that “clustered cases suggest that human-to-human transmission is possible.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/leaked-memo-reveals-chinese-president-xi-knew-outbreak-severe-epidemic-admitted/
