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. As the world edges closer to a pandemic treaty and China moves to revise its Infectious Disease Law, the lessons of Wuhan still resonate

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.

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.
