But did they really sweep things under the rug or is that just what people casually like to say without fact checking? Here is the coronavirus timeline: [VIDEO]

If the timeline in [VIDEO] are true, doesn't seem like the information was suppressed. WHO knew about a new virus/disease by 31st Dec/1st Jan and the market in question was closed. What they didn't know was if these were one off cases from eating bad meat or is it spreading human to human. Also, Li Wenliang circulated SARS info on WeChat on 30th/31st and public broadcast in Wuhan/Hubei was on 31st. Possible the source is biased and info. is missing but doesn't look any info is false.

Chinese timeline: [VIDEO] The guy may be a bit biased towards China, but all of that should be verifiable information, so if there's bias it will come through via omissions, or cherry-picking, or playing up insignificant events.
