Lying about the number of infections ? What difference does it make ? If China said they had 50000 deaths but in fact they had 100000 deaths, would any country change their way to protect their citizens ?
Come on, the "few experts" were the doctors on the front line that got silenced and died trying to warn others (RIP). And it wasn't the lying about the numbers that hampered the response I mean stuff like this (from a left publication for those saying I have political bias): https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-po...e-coronavirus/

"China’s Foreign Ministry criticized the United States for making “unfriendly comments” during the coronavirus outbreak and said a U.S. warning against travel to China went against recommendations made by the World Health Organization to not restrict travel or trade. “In disregard of WHO recommendation against travel restrictions, the US went the opposite way,”

China and CHO (thanks Japan, I'll be borrowing this one) went out of their way to slow other countries taking effective measures.
