U.S. intelligence officials warned last November that the coronavirus spreading in China’s Wuhan region could become a “cataclysmic event,” ABC News reported Wednesday.

The military’s National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI) documented concerns about the initial stages of the pandemic in an intelligence report, two officials familiar with the document told ABC News, which added that the document highlighted how the virus was disrupting life and business and threatened the population in the area.

Intelligence was reportedly obtained through wire and computer intercepts along with satellite images showing the new disease was not under control in China.

The report highlights that officials had knowledge to begin acting against the coronavirus months before it struck the U.S., ABC News noted.

"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources told the network, who added that the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House were briefed "multiple times."

After the NCMI report, policy makers, decision-makers and the National Security Council at the White House were repeatedly briefed on the issue, a source added.

The coronavirus first appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January, according to ABC News.

Those who worked on presidential briefings in Republican and Democratic administrations said the initial concerns would have gone through weeks of vetting and analysis before appearing in the daily brief.

"The timeline of the intel side of this may be further back than we’re discussing," a source said of preliminary reports from Wuhan, the initial epicenter of the outbreak in China. "But this was definitely being briefed beginning at the end of November as something the military needed to take a posture on."

The Trump administration has repeatedly said it could not have prepared for the pandemic, but the president’s critics have said the administration should have done more.

As of Wednesday morning, almost 400,000 Americans have tested positive for the virus, with at least 12,911 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

The Pentagon and the White House National Security Council did not immediately return requests to comment on the ABC News report.

Post 32 for link

means China also lied that they only know about Covid on Jan 2020

Might as well tutup kedai la CIA...corona never heed..9/11 never heed

This revelation did not come from China but two American officials. Good

The problem is, Trump does not listen to his intelligence people, especially the CIA.

When shit hits the fan, he blames China.

why would a stable genius listen to intelligence when he is smarter? His reality distortion field is stronger than Steve Jobs. It is always other people's fault. People keep falling for his tricks. When all else fails obfuscate. He can praise and bugger you at the same time. Now if a Captain can be removed for 'poor judgement' I am sure the same can be applied to him. Thats what you get when you put a draft dodger as CIC who dont understand military traditions at all. At the end of the day he is a businessman who happens to be the POTUS. All decisions are business related.

Means it wasn't dangerous until researchers found the virus.
Thank you researchers.

Chinese virus, wuhan virus wuflu, winnie the flu.

I keep saying this, in every disaster/appcalypse/zombie movie, the government always ignore the experts, and theres always that one idiot who breaks qurantine for his gf, waifu,dotter,son, rewer, etc

in the end everyone dies except an angmoh or 2.

dafark, US has the capabilities and spy agencies to uncover all China shit, but somehow blame China for not informing them earlier?

stupid or what

OK, I laughed.

Researchers got ask you act like retard retard or not?

Someone please help find the YouTube about a group of army in full ppe suits in China airport training to fight bio weapons terrorist in October 2019. Like they knew bio terrorist gonna invade China.

All these is about one man who didn't act on the intel.

This is what you get when you mix a narc, an orange and a cheerleader.
