CHINA
Early December 2019 the city of Wuhan discovered the first case of corona virus. A few more cases appeared along in December. Chinese doctors were muzzled by party leaders and told not to spread the news…
December 31, 2019. China alerted the WHO about pneumonia cases developing in Wuhan (8 millions)
March 2010: Some Chinese doctors who were reprimanded by Police in December 2019 have now been rehabilitated. The government has issued an official apology to them and their families. The central government has fired the mayor of the city and the governor, both high members of the communist party.
The centralisation of power in China has its pluses when they decide to do something; they can go quick and are followed by all citizens. But when people fear the publication of what they see as damaging truths to the image of the party, then things can clearly go wrong until the top realizes the issues and takes action.

Health issues should never be under any kind of news restriction, as every day counts. If spread news are proven wrong, then you can decide harsh sanctions against the people having spread the false news.
