Okay, I'll take a shot at it. The National Review writes the following:

> Three weeks after doctors first started noticing the cases, China contacts the World Health Organization.

This implies that China hid the existence of the virus from the WHO for three weeks. This is untrue. On 24 December 2019, doctors in Wuhan sent out samples to labs in Guangzhou and Beijing. The results returned on 27 December. The lab in Guangzhou said that the patient had a new coronavirus, while the lab in Beijing said the test turned up SARS, but that the result was probably a mistake. The Chinese government notified the WHO on 31 December, four days after these initial test results came in.

So on that crucial point, National Review is fudging things in a way that is pretty darn misleading. They're trying to make it look like China kept the existence of the new disease under wraps for three weeks, when at most, you could argue they did so for four days, though even that is dubious.
