Back in stock on Amazon! Five years ago this April, Wuhan emerged from a grueling 76-day lockdown. But recovery has been far slower than reopening.

January 23 is the fifth anniversary when cordon sanitaire was imposed on Wuhan. This is commonly known as the Wuhan lockdown, though the enforcement of strict lockdown happened in stages.

Five years ago today, a senior advisory panel led by the 83-year old Dr. Zhong Nanshan--a hero during China's SARS crisis in 2003--was sent to Wuhan to help the national health leadership assess the novel coronavirus outbreak situation there and break the paralysis.

@daliyang.bsky.social pulls no punches in his assessment of the major cause for China’s delayed response: it was a failure of epidemiological imagination and intellectual leadership. Local Wuhan officials ignored pleas from healthcare workers and NHC officials.

Five years ago on New Year's Day 2020, China initiated a health emergency response action program to deal with the novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, the initial epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dali L. Yang @daliyang.bsky.social · 30/12/2024
The conventional storyline is that China delayed its initial response to the Wuhan outbreak, sat idly by, and didn't announce human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus until January 20, 2020.
