The issue is not what the CCP did, but the Wuhan local authorities while the outbreak was still manageable. They did not advise the local population to wear masks or avoid social contact and travel, even though they knew quite well that a SARS-like outbreak was occurring. WHO was actually advised of the situation well before any such clear advice was given to the people in Wuhan. So you had people traveling everywhere with no masks, no distancing etc. only to suddenly be forced into a "hard" lockdown as you mention. But this was too little, too late.
