Documentary of COVID-19 Outbreak: Timeline

(Jennifer’s note: This document mainly contains Chinese news reports on COVID-19 released at the beginning of the outbreak (from December 1 to January 31). Some of these were published by Chinese news media and local Chinese governments. These news articles provide reliable clues to the Chinese government's possible intention to silence and cover up the epidemic. Many articles were later deleted from the Internet, but a group of interested people have saved them on GitHub. They organize the archives into a timeline with the purpose of "preserving" history so that the truth will not be hidden or forgotten over time. The original timeline is in Chinese. This is an English translation so that Western readers can also learn the truth behind the Covid-19 outbreak.

This is a translated document. The original document is in (Chinese):

·       The first Wuhan resident had symptoms of unexplained pneumonia (Diagnosed afterwards, it was unknow pneumonia of unknown cause at the time and no doctor found and reported). According to Wu Wenxuan, director of the intensive care unit (ICU) of Jinyintan Hospital, the patient was a man in his 70s with a bit of a cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease. After became ill, he was admitted to another hospital in Wuhan, but as his condition worsened, he was transferred to Jinyintan Hospital on December 29. The old man lived four or five stops (bus stop) away from the seafood market, because he had been ill at home, basically did not go out, and did not go to the South China seafood market. The onset of the disease on December 1st was based on epidemiological investigations combining family memories. See Chaolin Huang, et al.

Imaging characteristics of pneumonia, 3. The total number of white blood cells in the early stages of onset is normal or decreased, or the lymphocyte count is reduced, 4. The condition has not improved or worsened after 3 days of standardized antimicrobial medication), and cannot be clearly diagnosed with other diseases. The doctors interviewed believed that the White Skin Manual's "Intake Standard" was too demanding and unfavorable for early detection and early diagnosis. In addition, the white skin manual also includes Cao Bin's "Unexplained Viral Pneumonia Treatment Program (Trial)," which defines cases as meeting four clinical criteria (similar to the "Entry Criteria") or meeting the first three standards plus epidemiological standards (patients with exposure history of the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan City or similar patient exposure history), while not being able to clearly diagnose pneumonia cases for other diseases (see Article 1 of January). The first members of the national health care commission's expert group said that the "diagnosis and treatment plan" was developed by them around January 3 in conjunction with the local expert group in Hubei Province, but they were not involved in the development of the "entry criteria" and were informed of the document afterwards. According to media reports, what the Group was aware of at the time was a green-covered WorkBook, the difference between the two covers was whether or not to include the Entry Criteria. It has also been reported that members of the national and provincial expert groups saw the white cover of the "work manual", asked the Wuhan Health and Wellness Commission to withdraw and reprint the manual while removing the "entry standards" after the green cover "work manual", but the hospitals implemented the diagnostic and reporting standards have not changed, until the National Health Commission issued the first edition of the "New Coronary Pneumonia Treatment Program."  See February 20 Ice Point Weekly| White And Green Manual: ChangeS In The Diagnostic CriteriA For Coronavirus And FebruarY 24 Caixin.Com | Wuhan Fire Line Rescue 50 Days Of On-Site Records.
