That might be a bad source, Bill. What I've read is that on December 31, China reported a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology to WHO. By mid-January they had a map of the genome that went to WHO as well as Europe and the US. Our CDC went to work, Trump cancelled flights from China on Jan. 31, and the first test kits went out during the first week of Feb. I don't know if that timeline is fast, slow or reasonable.

I never thought China withheld information. They, more than anyone, know these deadly viruses, and it wouldn't be in their own self interest to not share info. Seems like they'd want the whole science world to get on board quickly in case this flu was the big one. Maybe they look like they were slow or hiding something when it was because they simply didn't know enough to post something official.
