Recordings confirm that China was economical with the truth with WHO about COVID19 up until Jan 20. (1)

“..exact same scenario (as SARS 2002,) endlessly trying to get updates from China about what was going on,” said Mike Ryan, head of emergencies. "The WHO barely got out of that one with its neck intact given the issues that arose around transparency in southern China." (2)
“This would not happen in Congo and did not happen in Congo and other places,” he said, in early January, referring to Ebola. “We need to see the data. It’s absolutely important at this point.” (3)
WHO decided to go the diplomatic route to ensure they gained entry to China and its data. Whether they were right or wrong, they should not be scapegoated by the USA. (4)

This paper provides important information about the immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Three key findings. (1)
A. 'Circulating SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were identified in 70% and 100% of COVID-19 convalescent patients, respectively.' (2)
B. 'The M, spike, and N proteins each accounted for 11%–27% of the total CD4+ response.' This suggests vaccine candidates should not simply focus on the spike protein. (3)

Mar 13: "SAGE was unanimous that measures to completely suppress spread of Covid19 will cause a second peak. SAGE advises that it is a near certainty that countries such as China, where heavy suppression is underway, will experience a second peak once
measures are relaxed."
So SAGE unanimously decided to stop any attempt at suppression of COVID19 from spreading through the UK population on the 'near certainty' there would be a second peak in China? Without a public health scientist in the room??
Had no-one on the committee read tweets implicitly criticising the Mar 12 decision, or heard WHO when they said stopping containment for delay was dangerous??
