New report indicates China misled world about coronavirus
The U.S. intelligence report says China not only misled the world on the severity of the virus, but also stockpiled medical supplies and PPE.

The novel coronavirus has now killed more than 243,000 people worldwide.
Over 3.4 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding the scope of their nations' outbreaks.
Since the first cases were detected in China in December, the United States has become the hardest-hit country, with more than 1.1 million diagnosed cases and at least 66,369 deaths.

They did spoke out about the disease, it's just that the other nations didn't take them serious at first and the world believed that they are capable of taking care of the virus and majority of the world believed that it was because they were consuming live animals and raw insects.
The rest of the world took precautions quite too late and it was unfortunate.

Not true. The same time they were telling the world there was no human-to-human transmission, they were busy stockpiling medicals and drastically cutting exportation of them

At first it was referred to as Chinese virus, when it started getting out of hand the Chinese government had to lockdown Wuhan completely,no going in or out and they constructed a 2000 capacity bed space hospital in a week or so and while that was going on what were the other nations doing?....... nothing.
This other nations started locking down there borders when their death toll started rising in mid February, and you want to blame China for your inactions.
Trump told his people not to use face mask last month and then reversed it later when it became worse and una dey call China, continue.

They discovered this virus last year and they spoke out to the world at the time.
If only the other nations had taken time to study the virus at the time they too would have stockpiled their own medical equipment but they didn't, whose fault was that?

NO, HE IS NOT!!

A timeline of how China misled the world on coronavirus outbreak

Here is a detailed timeline of China's coronavirus coverup.
On December 1, the symptom onset date of the first patient identified. Five days after illness onset, his 53-year-old wife who had no known history of exposure to the market also presented with pneumonia and was hospitalized in the isolation ward.
It wasn't until the second week of December, the Wuhan doctors were finding cases that indicated the virus was spreading from one human to another.

On December 25, Chinese medical staff in two hospitals in Wuhan were found to be suspected of contracting viral pneumonia and were quarantined. Later, hospitals in the Wuhan witnessed an "exponential" increase in the number of cases in late December that cannot be linked back to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.
Whistleblower doctor Li Wenliang warned a group of other doctors about a possible outbreak of an illness that resembled "severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)". He urged them to take protective measures against infection.
On December 31, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared that their investigation has not found "any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection."

China contacted the World Health Organization (WHO) three weeks after doctors first started noticing the cases.
At the beginning of January, summons issued to Li Wenliang by the Wuhan Public Security Bureau accusing the doctor of "spreading rumours."
On January 3, Dr Li signed a statement at a police station acknowledging his "misdemeanor" and promising not to commit further "unlawful acts." China's National Health Commission ordered institutions not to publish any information related to the unknown disease.

On the same day, the Hubei Provincial Health Commission ordered to stop testing samples from Wuhan related to the new disease and destroyed all existing samples.
The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission released another statement, reiterating that preliminary investigations have shown "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infections."
59 people in the central city of Wuhan have been sickened by a "pneumonia-like illness", as per a report by The New York Times published on January 6. On the same day, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a level 1 travel watch. It advised travellers to Wuhan to avoid contact with 'living or dead animals, animal markets, and sick people.'

On January 8, Chinese medical authorities claim to have identified the virus, reiterating that it still found "no clear evidence of human-to-human transfer".
On January 11, the Wuhan City Health Commission released Q&A sheet emphasizing that most of the unexplained viral pneumonia cases in Wuhan have a history of exposure to the South China seafood market and "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found."
Dr Li Wenliang was hospitalized on January 12. He started coughing and developed a fever after unknowingly treating a patient with the coronavirus. Later, Wenliang's condition deteriorated so badly that he was admitted to the intensive care unit and was given oxygen support.

On January 13, the first case of novel coronavirus was reported outside China involving a 61-year-old Chinese woman in Thailand, who had visited Wuhan.
However, Thailand's Ministry of Public Health said the woman had not visited the Wuhan seafood market and had come down with a fever on January 5. The woman had visited a different, smaller market in Wuhan, in which live and freshly slaughtered animals were sold.
On January 14, the World Health Organization in its report stated: "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in Wuhan, China."

On January 15, Japan reported its first case of coronavirus and its Health Ministry said the patient had not visited any seafood markets in China.
The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission in a statement said that the possibility of "limited human-to-human transmission" cannot be ruled out.
Despite the fact that Wuhan doctors knew that the virus is "contagious", city authorities allow 40,000 families to gather and share home-cooked food in a Lunar New Year banquet, as per the article in National Review.

On January 19, the Chinese National Health Commission declared the virus "still preventable and controllable".
A day later, the head of China's national health commission team investigating the outbreak, confirmed that two cases of infection in China's Guangdong province had been caused by "human-to-human transmission and medical staff had been infected".
On January 21, the CDC announced the first case of the coronavirus in the US. The patient had returned from China six days ago.

On January 22, a WHO delegation conducted a field visit to Wuhan and concluded, "deployment of the new test kit nationally suggests that human-to-human transmission is taking place in Wuhan."
Nearly two months after the first case of the virus was reported, Chinese authorities announced their 'first steps for a quarantine of Wuhan.' By this time, a significant number of Chinese citizens have traveled abroad as "asymptomatic, oblivious carriers".
Dr Wenliang tested positive for coronavirus on February 1 and died six days later.

That of US is due largely to negligence or perhaps even incompetence of Trump. If he spent more time working as he did talking, most likely the mortality will not be as high.

For instance, S/Korea had their first case about the same as US and yet they have fared far better. Abi them also dey part of the China conspiracy? tongue

All countries very close to China fared well because they have been dealing with the myriad number of viruses coming out of China and how China always lied about them so they weren’t fooled, always on high alert.
Trump instituted China travel ban Jan 31st. What else do u want from him?

But nothing stopped the other nations from conducting their own investigation or taking precise measures to tackle the virus initially they waited until it was too late, you can't blame China for your inactions.
Hong Kong and Singapore and Taiwan and other Asian countries that has the same border with China mainland closed their borders with China and what stopped the US from doing same?
My point is that they acted too late and that was their own doing, just like what is happening in Nigeria today,we didn't close our borders on time and so we can't blame anyone but ourselves.
That they denied human to human transmission initially isn't enough to put all the blames on them, the other nations have their own well trained medical personnel and they failed their own people not China.
Re: US Intel: China Misled World About Coronavirus by Heffalump(m): 12:32am On May 04, 2020
The same Intel that warned the White House about Covid-19 in China and their advice was not heeded. Trump chose to listen to WHO's report instead of FBI and now they are paying for it darely. All because he didn't want damaging consequences on the economy undecided

You forget their is a world organization paid by every country ($500m from US alone) to monitor things like that, called W.H.O. You forget that same organization criticized Trump bitterly for that travel ban on China, refused to declare pandemic, and insisted there was no human-to-human transmission, and until now they are still against mass use of face covering!

Not even China knew the severity of the viral epidemic at first. Basically, everyone kept making assumptions till the situation got out of control and countries that were less proactive were worst hit.

You’d have a point if this were the first time China is dealing with a coronavirus epidemic and covering up about it. That’s why countries close to them assumed the worst and took immediate action - they have been dealing with Chinese viruses and cover-ups for long and therefore were not fooled
