9.8 Wuhan legal response - Beijing appears to have ordered the coverup

[alex-harvey-z3q]

Based on information released here, e.g.

On Jan. 3, the National Health Commission issued a confidential notice ordering labs with the virus to either destroy their samples or send them to designated institutes for safekeeping. The notice, first reported by Caixin and seen by the AP, forbade labs from publishing about the virus without government authorization. The order barred Shi’s lab from publishing the genetic sequence or warning of the potential danger.

This contradicts our timeline in this article:

1/2

Chinese researchers map the new coronavirus’s complete genetic information. This information is not made public until Jan. 9.

1/7

Xi Jinping becomes involved in the response.

This would suggest that Xi Jinping or at least Beijing has ordered a coverup at least as early as 3rd January.
