Some Events in January 2020
On Jan. 12, Chinese scientists published the genome of the virus, and the W.H.O. asked a team in Berlin to use that information to develop a diagnostic test. Just four days later, they produced a test and the W.H.O. posted online a blueprint that any laboratory around the world could use to duplicate it.
On Jan. 21, China shared materials for its test with the W.H.O., providing another template for others to use.
C.D.C. of USA, insisted on producing their own tests. But a flaw in the initial C.D.C. test, and the agency’s slowness in approving testing by labs other than its own, contributed to weeks of delay in widespread testing and isolating infected in the United States.
Larry Gostin, director of the W.H.O.’s Center on Global Health Law, said the organization relied too heavily on the initial assertions out of Wuhan that there was little or no human transmission of the virus.
Dr. Michael Ryan, the W.H.O.’s chief of emergency response, said on Feb. 18. “Right now, the strategic and tactical approach in China is the correct one,” “You can argue whether these measures are excessive or restrictive on people.”
On Jan. 31 — a day after the W.H.O.’s emergency declaration — President Trump moved to restrict travel from China.
The first known case in the United States was confirmed on Jan. 20, after a man who was infected but not yet sick traveled five days earlier from Wuhan to the Seattle area, where the first serious American outbreak occurred.
The W.H.O. said repeatedly that it did not endorse international travel bans, which it said are ineffectual and can do serious economic harm.
A crucial turning point in the pandemic came on Jan. 20, after China’s central government sent the country’s most famous epidemiologist, Zhong Nanshan, to Wuhan to investigate the new coronavirus. Dr. Zhong delivered a startling message on national television: The contagion spread quickly between people, doctors were dying and everyone should avoid the city. Dr. Zhong, 83-year-old, led the fight against the SARS outbreak of 2002 and 2003. Within three days after Dr. Zhong’s warning, China locked down the city, preventing anyone from entering or leaving and imposing strict rules on movement within it. Despite Dr. Zhong’s warning about human-to-human transmission, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the W.H.O.’s director-general, said there was not yet any evidence of sustained transmission outside China.
