WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.

The officials said that dozens of classified discussions about such topics as the scope of infections, quarantines and travel restrictions have been held since mid-January in a high-security meeting room at the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), a key player in the fight against the coronavirus.

Real facts for those interested in Science and data not politically motivated panic mongering and lying by anecdote

121,340 total cased WORLD WIDE. 50,00 active cases 70,000 resolved case

4380 deaths. Average age of death: 80 years old

NOT the great global crisis the hysteric fear merchants are busy lying about daily

If you are correct (and I suspect you may well be) the topic will shift to war with China. They aren’t ready to deal with that yet.

Contrary to the habitual demagoguery, the Fake News has NO right to jam a camera and a mic anywhere they want. They proven themselves criminally incompetent and irresponsible.

Have you seen our stock market? What it has done to Italy, Korea, etc economies? In what way is that ineffective?

Just imagine the firestorm if it did come out if they even discussed the possibility that this is a bio-weapon from China, even if they don’t personally believe it’s true.

I suggest you get your head out of your ass

look at the extreme actions China took..Do you actually believe the China numbers?

is the whole world in on it to get Trump?

India just banned all people coming in to the country

Is that an over reaction?

The other potential national security aspect of this is what happens if the levels of public panic continue to be whipped-up to extreme levels. Lots of bad things could happen. Riots, looting, killings of those thought to be carriers, etc.

Why would you bring up the dictator bit?

Do you hold some beliefs you haven’t disclosed to the rest of us?

I disagree.

First, classified is not secret and second, the MSM is trying to push a panic to take down the President. Discussions include topics that may not ever come to implementation so they should NOT be made public.

I am guessing it wouldn’t because the inherent evil, disregard for human life, greed and incompetence of commies are things I strongly believe in. Whatever happened, I’d have no problem believing it.

That depends on the classification. It could be Secret, TS or CUI.
