One year ago, on December 1st 2019, Wuhan reported 1st case of unspecified pneumonia and no one knows it would change the world forever.

Damn, time flies. Was it in local news already as well? I remember here the first reports of an unknown virus/sickness in a few dozen people connected to a market appeared around 28/29 December if I'm not mistaken.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

They were hiding it through early January.

Didn't do much of a good job at that then since it was already gaining international attention before that, as I said at least in late December :p

Wrong. First news came Dec 31. While the first confirmed case only got announced on Jan 2.

I heard local news reporting unspecified pneumonia several times in December 2019, but in a very normal and chilling tone. No one took it seriously. Until Jan. 20th a high level specialist told public that it's infectious on state media, then things went very bad all of a sudden and Wuhan lockdown from 24or25th January.

It's interesting that was on 20 January, when there had already been significant media attention in the rest of the world (here, at least, the thread on a Dutch forum which by now has around 334k posts about it started on 17 January based on some already fairly lengthy news items :p).

For sure we started talking about it before 20th, because several cases identified every now and then. But the tone at that time is still all cases linked to the seafood market and no proof of human-to-human infectious YET. That YET ended at Jan 20th and the whole country got very nervous in a sudden.

Today :POL as thirteen country in the world reached total number of 1 million confirmed cases.

 

We also surpassed Germany in number of total deaths with number 18,208 and are 15th in the world... 

 

And still our prime ministry says that we defeated the pandemic. Also from the beginning of February vaccine have to be available and all +75yo people and medical staff will be mandatory vaccinated.
