From Wa Post.
An investigation reveals...
"As the first American evacuees from Wuhan, China, touched down at a California military base a year ago, fleeing the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, they were met by U.S. health officials with no virus prevention plan or infection-control training — and who had not even been told to wear masks, according to a federal investigation.
Later, those officials were told to remove protective gear when meeting with the evacuees to avoid “bad optics,” and days after those initial encounters, departed California aboard commercial airline flights to other destinations."

If anyone wants to read a "very" long article about mathematical modeling of the pandemic and how difficult it is, because of so many human factors that are difficult to model, you can read it here at quantamagazine - https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-h...emic-20210128/

As mentioned earlier, deaths lag cases by a few weeks, so any upward or downward trend in cases can be expected to have a similar time lag relative to the death numbers.
