Well put: A question to the US government.

A question to the US government. You have an embassy in Beijing and 5 Consulates, including one in Wuhan. I am sure you have far superior intelligence gathering techniques than WHO. You are demanding that China/WHO be investigated for what they knew and when about the pandemic.

By Jan 24, Wuhan and neighboring areas in the Hubei province, 50 million people, were under severe lockdown. You could see this impact from a satellite. It's no secret how seriously China was taking this by Jan 24.

Google for it on wiki.

What I was getting at is when auto traffic drops to zero in an area that big, surveillance satellites could easily see that.
