Dr Tedros also pointed out that while America had highlighted China’s withholding of information about the early days of the pandemic, the country had not provided information to support its statement that the outbreak started in November. He said, “if something starts in China, and other countries knew, they have … the obligation to inform us.” (A previous post talks about November cases.)
In some countries they politicised… and leaders were trying to push back rather than focus on the real world.Dr Tedros, August 2020.
