USA/UK knew of the risk in first week of january once the isolation and identification was truly confirmed. anything before january was speculation and too early to cause panic. due to low patient numbers and due to the small amount of cases being linked to one location (speculation that it could have been food poisoning or touch contact spread) yes some chinese doctors were repremanded for trying to incite panic before anything was confirmed by science. confirmed respiratory virus. and then confirmed spread via non-touch-contact method. but once the official and science confirmed details were public. USA/UK could and should have acted. chin closed its own flights and went on a high grade track, trace and isolate process.. but USA/UK did not. instead USA/UK actually purposefully done repatriation flights. yep UK/USA went against responsible guidelines yes in hindsight some doctors unconfirmed hunches did actually come to realisation. but it could have also been equal chance of being wrong. so raising an alarm without confirmation can cause panic.. yes in hindsight people can view the 'whistle blow' of a hunch as a good alert to have raised, now we know for sure that it was a virus. but at the time it was an unconfirmed hunch/possibility. USA/UK done bad stuff before too.. like the ebola outbreak years ago in africa. USA/UK actually brought infected people into US/UK. rather then just provide funding to treat them within the outbreak country. you cant blame china for US/UK action/inaction
