There were no new cases in China except Wuhan and HongKong a week ago, how's that possible if they weren't covering up?

Why is this covering up?

Firstly there isn't one case confirmed in HongKong yet.

Secondly, the virus could take up to 2 weeks to start showing symptoms and it is only until recently the method to detect this virus efficiently had been discovered.

This is a new virus, and its behavior takes time to understand.

I agree this is a new virus we know little about, but did you know folks in Wuhan were still gathering in crowds without any precautions [2], and ppl got caught spreading so-called fake news of this virus?
