Like Europe, China seemed to fumble at the initial outbreak. Wuhan authorities at ground zero initially failed to report cases of the mystery illness, which cost time and lives. The city's early response was to silence whistle-blowers like the late Dr Li Wenliang and clamp down on social media to control information.
