The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has deliberately concealed and covered up the extent of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China, “under-reporting both total cases and deaths it’s suffered from the disease,” according to a classified U.S. intelligence report provided to the White House, and cited by Fortune.
The report appears to be from the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) since it is reported as representing the views of the Intelligence Community (IC) and not just one agency. According to officials cited by Fortune, the report concludes that “China’s public reporting on cases and deaths is intentionally incomplete” and “China’s numbers are fake.”
Recent unofficial reports from China of thousands of burial urns outside funeral homes in Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, have only added to public doubts Beijing’s official reporting.
Deborah Birx, the State Department immunologist advising the White House on the outbreak, said at a press conference that China’s public reporting influenced assumptions elsewhere in the world about the nature of the virus, according to Fortune.
“The medical community… interpreted the Chinese data as: This was serious but smaller than anyone expected — Because… we were missing a significant amount of the data, now that what we see happened to Italy and see what happened to Spain.”
Thus, we can conclude that the Chinese misinformation hampered both the international community’s understanding of the threat and the U.S. and global response.
Reporting on the Wuhan coronavirus from Russia, Iran, and North Korea is also highly suspect as those countries struggle to contain their own outbreaks while concealing the truth and misleading the outside world.
Analysts such as myself have been expressing doubts about China’s virus numbers from the beginning, warning of China’s disinformation and propaganda campaign to deflect attention from the virus’ origin in Wuhan and China’s own culpability in allowing this virus to spread globally.
This classified US intelligence report appears to confirm that those warnings were correct, and China’s deliberate disinformation campaign regarding COVID-19 may have turned what could have been a manageable outbreak in China, into a deadly global pandemic.

Do You Still Stand With Trump? [TELL US NOW]
Duh……it’s what commies do daily.
So did the WHO. So why are we still spending money for the United Nation when we need to keep it to pay that 2.2 trillion addition to our debt. Anyone know what we are getting out of the UN???? Nothing.
And yet there are Individuals , Political Parties, Countries n Entities and Stupid Idiotic Demented Persons out there that toe the Line and Covered for this Anomaly
China’s economy was in the tank, tanking the world’s economy, especially the U.S., might not have been accidental.
That was probably the plan….never trust China !!!
Weaponized and the truth hidden. If not for what happened in Italy and Spain, we never would have known the severity of this virus. China is our enemy. They want to be number one.
CHINESE VIRUS ? FOR LIES AND ALWAYS LIYERS HAS TO PAYING FOR AROUND THE WORLD ? ?????? PERIOD
Are these Trump followers blind to what this Incompetent Idiot is doing to this Country. I’m a Republican that’s a shame of what has happen to the Republican Party as many of my Friends are starting to question what this Idiot is doing to America. He must go so we can try to save what is left of the Conservative Party…..Wake up and remove this Virus of a person and make America First again……..
We got rid of obummer already…3.5 years ago….you dont remember Hitlery and her accusations wow time to pull youre head out
You are not a Republican. Possibly you are a RINO, but I doubt even that.
Ask ANY of your Republican politicians which ones plan NOT to stand on Trump’s coat tails in the upcoming election? The lack of response will be deafening!!
The virus was not Trump’s fault – blame China and the WHO for failing to warn the rest of the world in a timely manner.
And don’t forget it was the Obama administration that gave China millions in grants to fund this bio-weaponry.
Full’o Shit you are Craig!
Rough/Rider9 ” Full’o Shit you are Craig ” True he so full of shit that its coming out of his mouth. TRUMP 2020
I think you might want to rethink your traitorous idea. We had the best economy in decades, low unemployment, tax cuts and a built up military. Name one president out of the last 6 , either party that did better. The answer is none.
Also please tell me what other president gave his salary every quarter to anyone or anything. The answer is none. Tell me what president has removed barriers to allow businesses to grow. The answer is none.
I think you have been listening to Piglosy, Shifty Shief and Bernie the commie too long.
Craig Do you really think you can fool us Republicans ? Get your head of of your back side and smell the coffee. You are lower than the balls of centipede.
You are an idot he’s done more for this country than any other president to this day. Who gave the country to the Chinese if not Clinton and bimboma and Trump been trying to get it back.But you Democrats have lost your hearing and senses , you walk around with your head up your ass wake up and smell the roses.
Bite the Banuche’ Craig!
Ask why we sent 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China back in February and Trump was claiming that the Virus was a Hoax. We now don’t have the mask, and needed supplies; do to him giving most of our supplies to China. This a proven Fact……..If you believe he thinks America first, get out of the Republican Party, we don’t need idiots. Let’s make America First again, Trump has got to go…….
It is better for people to think you a fool than to open your mouth and prove them right!! You are an idiot Craig!!!
Here’s MY question: WHERE THE HECK ARE ALL THE HOSPITAL DIRECTORS??????? You know the ones – those who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep a hospital running and prepared?
Over the past 10-15 years, we had the Swine Flu, the Bird Flu, H1N1, Ebola, and several serious flu epidemics and these hospitals (especially the hospital chains) didn’t have a warehouse FULL of PPEs and other items and equipment in case of an outbreak?
Quit blaming one person for this issue!! And quit calling yourself a Republican – you’re a RINO, if that.
Craig hate to inform you but most of your information of how it went is incorrect.
Get your facts straight first before you speel off.
We sent them back because they were defective,and some had covid 19 on them and were used to clean chinese shoes as pictured by a prominent news source. As a nurse I would much rather use American products but hospital administrators buy what’s cheap.
cragie boy the stupid with you is strong
Who do you think would have done a better job to improve the economy and reduce unemployment to record lows over the last three and a half years (all while being harassed unmercifully with bogus charges of collusion and corruption, and being impeached for, essentially, disagreeing with the House side of Congress)? Who do you think would do a better job fighting the corona virus currently? Who would have been better able to persuade industrial leaders to switch manufacturing from their usual products to health-care products needed by hospitals? Who would have cut off travel from China to the US in January, despite media charges of racism and xenophobia, only to be criticized two months later by the same media for not acting soon enough? Trolling I think is Craig.
That was your buddy’s the demos
Craig you are obviously a Clintonista AND a Obama-Bot! No one believes your Fruit-Assed Dem-O-Commie Drivel!
Trump never said the virus was a hoax, dummy. You’ve bought into the media lies fool.
Too much blaming our President and his administration, when the information he received was inaccurate from the WHO, & the CDC. But, China is mostly at fault for giving false information on the contagion in their country, for whatever reason they felt was in need of being hidden. China has laid blame on the US to hide the truth of an accidental or purposely release of the China Virus from its biological lab in Wuhan.
Of course, there’s the story of idiots eating bats…
Chris- China also OWNS Mr. Tedros, head of the WHO. China is bankrolling his nation.
Want to know where a man stands? Pay attention to where he sits and who purchased the chair!
You are correct. As a nurse and an army officer I can all but guarantee this virus came from their biolab.
After China virus is gone, keep all travel ban from China until they pay for all US expenses.
PULL ALL MFG out of China as quickly as possible, starting with our pharmaceuticals!! Then end the purchase of anything with a computer chip coming out of China – they cannot be trusted!! I’m talking about the Chinese govt – they’re evil, not stupid.
If we can relocate mfg back to the USA (pharma and computer chips) and relocate other mfg to ally nations like England, Poland or Brazil, we can cut the financial head off of China.
We need to get control of the food processing plants, manufacturing facilities etc that china has bought up in the U.S.
YES Boot out All the Chinos! Don’t pay them what we owe them! China cost us more than our debt to them! This virus was Created in their Wuhan Virus Bio-Lab! Then they ISOLATED Wuhan from the rest of China, and sent THOUSANDS of Virus Carriers by plane to infect the Free World! This Virus release was an act of Bio-Warfare and should be treated as such!
The Commie-controlled Chinese media lies worse than CNN.
California idiots in charge now want us to wear face masks? Good luck! Americans speak English only – speaking Spanish proves they are domestic terrorist. When will they be investigated Americans citizens pay their salaries. Protecting illegal aliens with tax payers money is a crime. Give me liberty or give me death!
Whatever became of North Korea’s “Christmas Surprise”? Could it be this virus?
Craig is a idiot Trump has done more for this nation than anybody that has been in office scene I have been old enough to understand what was going on and I know for sure scene I have been Voting and I have voted counting this year will be 48 years And I will be voting for Trump again this time
Over 20 million cell phones no longer in use in China. If only 5% are due to death, that is a million so far.
CRAIG, YOU ARE A SHIT HEAD RHINO. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS FOR AMERICA. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, THEN YOU CAN GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE USA AND GO TO SOME SOCIALIST COUNTRY. YOU CAN ALSO GET OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, NOBODY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SPREADING BULL SHIT THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT?
The Chinese Communist Party is less than honest and truthful? Say it isn’t so Joe, say it isn’t so.
We can all thank the Communist Chinese Party for covering up their experiments with dangerous viruses that unfortunately this time escaped their biotech labs and killed hundreds of thousands around the world. The Communists genetically spliced a bat virus with the very dangerous human HIV (AIDS) virus. They did this in order to get the animal virus to invade human cells. Animal viruses do not affect humans unless the animal virus mutates naturally to obtain that ability. But why would the dumbass Communist Chinese do such a crazy thing?? To show they are the biological research equals of the United States??? To develop a new biological warfare weapon to use against the United States?? Of course our own domestic Communists and Socialists (aka Democrats) are rushing to the defense of their comrades. China hid the disaster because that is what Communist Dictatorships do. Does anybody remember Chernobyl?
Communism needs to be destroyed! It doesn’t work in a Modern free society! It can only function in a Servile Society!
