How to destroy #TrumpGate with their own material.
Fact 1:
Without NPIs[Non pharmaceutical Interventions], the number of COVID-19 cases would likely have shown a 67-fold increase (IQR: 44 - 94), with the effectiveness of different interventions varying. The early detection and isolation of cases was estimated to prevent more infections than travel restrictions and contact reductions, but integrated NPIs would achieve the strongest and most rapid effect. If NPIs could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier in China, cases could have been reduced by 66%, 86%, and 95%, respectively, together with significantly reducing the number of affected areas. However, if NPIs were conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks later, the number of cases could have shown a 3-fold, 7-fold, and 18-fold increase across China, respectively.

Fact 2:
YY, a live-streaming platform in China, began to censor keywords related to the coronavirus outbreak on December 31, 2019, a day after doctors (including the late Dr. Li Wenliang) tried to warn the public about the then unknown virus

Fact 3:
Jan. 3, China’s National Health Commission ordered virus samples to be either moved to designated testing facilities or destroyed, while simultaneously issuing a "no-publication order" related to the disease.
Fact 4: [Three weeks later]
On 23 January 2020, the central government of China imposed a lockdown in Wuhan and other cities in Hubei.
Fact: If China chose quarantine over censorship, the worlds economies would still be open. This action would have reduced spread from source by 95%.
Fact: China is liable for its choices.
Fact: If China deemed this information severe enough to censor, than they calculated the risks before they clamped down… They knew ahead of time. In fact, by mid December they knew an unknown strain was infecting, person to person, at an alarming rate.
Total time: >5 Weeks.
Trumps Timeline:
