Chinese government reported on January 22, 2020 the “Strictest measures enacted to contain viral pneumonia” where the city of Wuhan closed its transport networks and advised it’s citizens not to leave the city”.

11 million people in Wuhan, China, considered the epicentre of the novel coronavirus outbreak, are ordered to abide by the restrictions. [1]  Wuhan lockdown measures were kept in place until April 8, 2020.  It is thought 5 million people departed before the lockdown was put in place.

Locking down healthy people is a public health measure never done before for a virus outbreak.

On 30 January 2020, the WHO’s director general tweeted China’s lockdown measures are “setting a new standard for outbreak response.”

An action not actually based on science, and contrary to an October 2019 WHO report, yet sovereign nations of the world actively followed this unprecedented CCP led “control measure”!

Further key data points from the China report:

  • “On Jan 19, President Xi Jinping ordered that resolute efforts should be made to curb the spread of the virus, stressing putting people’s safety and health as the top priority.”
  • “The Wuhan Health Commission reported on the morning of Jan 21 that 15 medical workers in the city have been infected.”
  • At this time “much remains to be understood about 2019-nCoV, including how it is transmitted, the clinical features of the disease, its severity, the extent to which it has spread and its source.”
  • “Health experts agree the possibility exists for mutation of the virus”.
  • “Also on Jan 19, the National Health Commission listed the pneumonia caused by the virus among Grade B infectious diseases, a category that includes such major infectious diseases as SARS, AIDS and polio.”
  • “Currently, however, the new virus will be treated as a Grade A infectious disease, which requires the strictest prevention and control measures, including mandatory quarantine of patients and medical observation for those who have had close contact with patients, according to the commission.”  A classification reserved for “bubonic plague and cholera”, but “managing the new disease as Grade A will greatly help in its control and prevention.”
  • “On Jan 21, the World Health Organization said in a statement that sustained human-to-human transmission may exist, and warned more cases of the virus could appear in China and outside in the coming days, given travel patterns and increased testing.”
  • “China, along with other affected countries, will attend an emergency committee meeting convened by the WHO on Jan 22 to share information about the disease.”

Dr Ian Lipkin stated “The most important tool we have right now is isolation”…a vaccine will take us “a year or more to do”.
