a) It's also quite possible, given the first samples analyzed were taken in for processing on December 23, that the first official reactions to a possible outbreak were quietly being made December 21. The sheer speed of the Chinese response suggests that they were following a plan which was drafted in advance, but then it fairly quickly became weird, as if they were making it up as they went along.
b) I had the same thought, and so took a look at some of the archives for newspapers, and found nothing too out of the ordinary, aside from the occasional reference to various Neo-pagan groups which were planning to do activities in secret to mark the solstice.
Given the 2012 phenomena had its roots in that group, and the decline in morality and intellectual capabilities which you've said is a classic indicator of demonic activity got underway around the same time, I wonder if one of those groups made contact with the demonic on that solstice...
