More Evidence That the ChiComs Knew They Had a Virus Problem Early in January (and Kept It Under Wraps)The ChiComs have been putting on a big charm offensive lately, offering masks, medical equipment, and medical personnel to 89 countries who are attempting to cope with CCP virus infections. And of course, they trumpet that assistance via CCP-controlled media and useful idiots in the Western press.

By this point, millions of people have left Wuhan, carrying the virus all around China and into other countries.
January 23: Chinese authorities announce their first steps for a quarantine of Wuhan. By this point, millions have already visited the city and left it during the Lunar New Year celebrations.
