The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) initial coverup of the coronavirus outbreak in the central city of Wuhan facilitated the disease’s spread across China and the world, a Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist and epidemics expert says.
Laurie Garrett, who has covered epidemics around the world, including the SARS outbreak of 2002–2003 that originated from China, said the regime’s suppression of vital information during the early days of the outbreak in December 2019 into January of this year meant that a critical window of opportunity to contain the spread of the virus was lost.
