When is the earliest heath officials reported it though? That paragraph doesn't disagree with your memory.
Considering there were quarantines in December, I'm pretty sure health officials were in the know. Though official international reporting may not have happened until Dec 31.
Well yeah. If people all over the world knew weeks earlier, obviously the health officials knew. But if they didn't report it before, that doesn't disagree with the textbook.
