They were afraid of the economic backlash, and China has been lying the entire time. China has been covering this up. If you look, they started going quarantine crazy after around 40 deaths. Which is ridiculous. Who the fuck shuts down their entire city for 40 dead people in a day? China wouldn't let anyone else in to look at things or help either. Now you look at SARS and other outbreaks, you assume it couldn't be that bad. So you don't over-react and blow up the economy.
They were covering it up, it's already spread all over. It's too late to stop it, the only thing to do is slow it down and make sure "nobody knows until everyone knows." The assumption that it was something like SARS was a huge mistake.
WHO is completely in China's pocket. so you'll never hear about how China completely fucked this up and allowed it to spread. A lot of other governments are owned by China too, so they'll downplay it so they don't anger China.
EVERYONE is afraid of the economic backlash. Just-in-time logistics has the entire Globalized world by the balls, literally.
The spice must flow, and China still hasn't started it's manufacturing back up. We're talking about an almost billion employee strong manufacturing base that's been shut down for almost a quarter of a year. We haven't even begun to feel the impact.
This is Trumps plan all along. He wants manufacturing to come back to the USA so he released a bio-weapon in china to shut down their manufacturing and force the USA to make their own spice.

I'd be more than okay if CV forced the rest of the world to shake their Chinese addiction.

Nice wake up call to the globalist boot lickers.
