Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus.  On January 6, 2020 the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003.  The information was sent to China’s national CDC in an internal document.  From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases.  In the  11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.”  There was little mention of the coronavirus.  On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,

From January 12 to 16, an estimate of over 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China.  On January 17, 2020 Wuhan’s tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city, so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.”  On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday.  Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request.  Over 40,000 families attended the banquet.  Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.
