Coronavirus: US Intelligence Warned Trump Pandemic Was Likely Back In January, President Failed To Take Threat Seriously Despite Repeated Warnings!
US intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus while Donald Trump and members of congress played down the threat and failed to take action that might have slowed the spread of the outbreak, according to US officials familiar with spy agency reporting.
The intelligence reports didn't predict when the virus might land on US shores or recommend particular steps that public health officials should take, issues which are outside the remit of the intelligence agencies. But they did track the spread of the virus in China, and later in other countries, and warned that Chinese officials appeared to be minimizing the severity of the outbreak. Posted By Ghost
