    hi.. buyers of the comp, sorry! they are in mailers ready to send. problem comes when i try to contact people to check the address. i get tons of emails back that are confusing, then maybe a contradictory one a couple of days later, with loads of questions.. or people not replying or from another name/address without explanation, or someone who never paid in the first place...whatever. i dont want to spend ages decyphering mails, i just want to post them.. so.. if you bought the compilation please send an email to we@colundi.net. make the subject line '2020'. then in the message please put just your name and the address it should be sent to. paypal name or email would be good too if poss. nothing more or less please. if you do any more than this, your order will get processed but the complications will put it to the end of the queue. thanks. really sorry. i have a list of names and old emails and addresses i just need to update it simply and quickly and get em out the door. you'll get what you wanted. there are no more left for new orders. sorry again and cheers and best wishes.

    nb make the subject line '2020'.

    At critical turning points, Chinese authorities put secrecy and order ahead of openly confronting the growing crisis and risking public alarm or political embarrassment.

    The government’s initial handling of the epidemic allowed the virus to gain a tenacious hold. At critical moments, officials chose to put secrecy and order ahead of openly confronting the growing crisis to avoid public alarm and political embarrassment.

    A reconstruction of the crucial seven weeks between the appearance of the first symptoms in early December and the government’s decision to lock down the city, based on two dozen interviews with Wuhan residents, doctors and officials, on government statements and on Chinese media reports, points to decisions that delayed a concerted public health offensive.

    In those weeks, the authorities silenced doctors and others for raising red flags. They played down the dangers to the public, leaving the city’s 11 million residents unaware they should protect themselves. They closed a food market where the virus was believed to have started, but didn’t broadly curb the wildlife trade.

    Their reluctance to go public, in part, played to political motivations as local officials prepared for their annual congresses in January. Even as cases climbed, officials declared repeatedly that there had likely been no more infections.

    By not moving aggressively to warn the public and medical professionals, public health experts say, the Chinese government lost one of its best chances to keep the disease from becoming an epidemic.
