So did China conceal evidence to protect their industry? Maybe, but if they did they didn’t do it for very long. At the time there was no way to know how big it was going to get and whether or not it could be contained.

Meanwhile whatever China did or didn’t do pales in comparison to the US response. The US can’t claim ignorance as we had weeks to prepare while Trump did nothing but try to gaslight everyone as usual. People we knew were infected were getting off cruise ships and running around unchecked at airports. Hell even now you have GOP governors refusing to do anything and those who are still grant totally dipshit exceptions guaranteed to kill people.
