   If you want to feel old, it’s four years to the day since this doctor in China privately warned colleagues about pneumonia cases related to coronavirus (which turned out to be COVID).. only for his message to be leaked, to go viral on social media, leading to his arrest by authorities for spreading fake news.

   A few months later he contracted COVID and died, aged 33.

     @GossiTheDog on this date in 2019, China informed the World Health Organization about the Wuhan pneumonia,

     i'm not saying the things in your post are not true, but at the very least, the dates are off. and that looks like a wiki screen shot so it wil be accepted as gold standard but here is the proof:

     A WHO press release from January 5, 2020, saying they were informed on December 31 2019. (a press release i read when it came out...)
