It's enraging to read pieces that confuse what was suspected, what was inferred, and what was proven and known and when all that happened. And then that feeds the blame game currently going on against the WHO and China.
Georgia rearranged its stats web page to make things look better, and many people are doing the same thing to make China and the WHO look worse.

Which means we'll likely really never know what could have been done better, by the WHO, and by China.
Too interested in affixing blame, and zero interest in actually figuring out where the process could have been improved, and how much of it was inevitable.
For example, we did not have concrete proof that this coronavirus spread as silently as it did for much longer than people think. We had at best probable cause, but that is not proof. It took time to know to know that for sure. And the research is still ongoing.
People's desire for quick and easy answers goes against everything we need to do to learn and react properly to this disease. If something is confirmed today, it does not meant that we should have known the same yesterday. It means we know it today.
