Intelligence reports given to President Donald Trump’s administration in January and February pointed to coronavirus becoming a “globe-encircling pandemic” long before Trump took action to prevent it from spreading in the U.S., the Washington Post reported Saturday.
Members of Congress and the Trump administration were receiving the reports even as high-level members of both the Republican and Democratic parties were downplaying the disease. Critically, however, the reports did not make any estimates of when the virus might spread to the U.S., or make suggestions for how to prepare, according to WaPo, which accepted money from the Chinese government for advertising inserts.

Glad Democrats in Congress took it seriously instead of devoting all of their time and energy to pointless impeachment Kabuki... oh, wait.
Seems that Trump may have been a bit preoccupied with being thrown out of office or something.
Let’s think.
What was Trump dealing with in January and February?
This has been debunked as after-the-fact spin.
Lies.
We have
And sadly we have some that are still buying the Fake News narrative here!
THIS ENTIRE THING IS A FU*KING SCAM!
“Well MSM, the head of the Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff...”
Thank you for reminding me...I’d forgotten about that!
Wasn’t Trump being impeached at that time? Maybe they distracted him.
Fake news. I am sure, some person in bio/germ warfare put something out at some point, but low level
What did the IC daily briefings have to say about the risks from Impeachment?
Free Republic is becoming panic central.
Can we please stop this Soros/deep state neo-Nazi bullshit before Free Repulic is destroyed.
In the meantime, Congress was blowing our money and resources effing around with their Fake Impeachment. Who were the slackers here?
Be honest Lefties, there wasn't an acceptable way for Trump to address
this no matter what he did.
The guy gets my full support.
Oh, this is from the intelligence community?
The same one’s who’ve attempted to criminally compromise, undermine and overthrow Trump for the past 4 years?
oh yeah. On the side while they were busy setting up elaborate framing scheme to get him out of office and in jail
During the same period, Intelligence Reports warned Trump of hundreds of things of concern. The reports constantly flow, each begging for attention. An exec has to gauge the severity of each with the data available. I think President Trump has done an exemplary job. The CDC, not so much.
January and February? This is only March. He took action in January.
