Knowing about the virus can be very far away from the stage when you have to declare an emergency.

In the beginning, they don't know how virulent and transmissible the virus is. The doctors and researchers could be reporting that there were currently about 200 people infected with the virus in Hubei but most of them are having mild symptoms, some are recovering and one of them who had died had a pre-existing medical condition.
(Even today, outside of Hubei, the mortality rate is about 0.6 percent. Hopefully, this figure corresponds to a more normal situation in which Hospitals are not overwhelmed by too many cases.)

Now based on this early info, would the doctors and researchers advise President Xi to declare an emergency and immediate lockdown of cities and provinces?

I doubt so.

It's only when it became clear that the virus was spreading rapidly through the country through a human-to-human transmission that they realize the seriousness of the situation.

I agree with the nurses here. Protection of healthcare workers is paramount in controlling any infectious disease. Infected healthcare workers can spread the disease to the entire hospital. Better to err on the side of caution than be caught ill prepared.

Well, it must be the optimist in me. It's a constant battle between the optimist and the realist in me! I guess I shouldn't be surprised!

Thanks. But I think you've missed my point regarding MSM reporting.

Good for you for being the optimist. Just contrast the heroism and selflessness by the Chinese against the vile and maliciousness of the west towards Chinese and China. In the end of this ordeal, Be confident the Chinese people and nation shall overcome this misfortune and emerge as a more united, strong and proud nation. This is because Chinese are resourceful, resilient and hardworking.

Then they gaslight you and when you criticize MSM for being disingenuous about China they call you a CCP shill.

People are sick froma disease and they wanna rub salt in the wound.

I’m pretty sure there are many in washington thinking about immediate military engagement with China right now.

the problem, as I see it, was the partying
More derelict officials to be disciplined

Five days ahead of the city lockdown of Wuhan, this community organized a huge banquet, a traditional activity at the time of the Chinese New Year, where 40,000 people attended.

Getting people together will also add to the possibility of becoming infected, and organizing such large-scale social activities reflected the ignorance of local authorities, which should also be held accountable, according to analysts.
