Epoch Times, an independent Chinese language news media reported that two documents revealed on the Internet showed that the Chinese government was aware of the “SARS-like” pneumonia in early January this year. The communist government didn’t take serious action until January 20. By then the epidemic had already exploded in Hubei Province.
