In reality, the Chinese Communist Party actively persecuted individuals seeking to limit the spread of what was, to medical experts, clearly an infectious disease by December 2019. Wuhan police arrested doctors and journalists sharing information on how to limit infections — basic instructions like washing hands and maintaining social distancing protocol — or basic information on the outbreak, and forced them to offer the public embarrassing apologies for alleged misinformation. One of those doctors, Li Wenliang, died of a coronavirus infection at age 34 in February. The Communist Party has since attempted to claim him as a martyr.
