Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources

As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.

Concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the document’s contents.

The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia -- forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.

"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. "It was then briefed multiple times to" the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House.

Trump knew years ago! Disgusting corrupt media.

[dfwgator]

And now they are moving onto the race angle, that more blacks are getting it, and it’s Katrina all over again.

[Williams]

And no one in November / December wanted to believe this would make the jump to the rest of the World.

Also, I’m guessing the Democrats on the intelligence committees had these briefings as well.

[pburgh01]

I have mucho liberal friends they send me crap like this all the time now.. My response.....”Yea terrible if it were really true and he is going to win in November despite everything you do or say and we are coming for your baby killing and universities next”. That sends them into orbit. They get so angry...and always respond “Yes most of America is stupid!!!!” My Sun Szu on them.

No lying sacks of crap: no DNC

[Rurudyne]

It isn’t a panic unless women and minorities are hardest hit.

[jeffc]

Yep. My question, too.

And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.

What ABC wants you to read. From the article:

The NCMI report was made available widely to people authorized to access intelligence community alerts.

Gee, if it was "widely" available, why isn't ABC reporting that any Congressional Dems saw it? Or doesn't ABC want us to know that the Dems were to busy impeaching Trump?

[Enlightened1]

Sources = We made it up

Anyhow, it has already been in the news President Trump was notified in November, 2019 by China.

China had been dealing with it since September of 2019. During that 6 month period with this highly contagious deadly virus, and no one noticed a thing. This is even when Chinese citizens were traveling all over the world.

[Parmy]

Of course, remember the media was consumed with ‘impeachment’.

[Engedi]

I wish the President would point this out in WH briefing when he gets asked about this.

[sanjuanbob]

It isn’t a panic unless women and minorities are hardest hit.

The old line, the difference between panic and pandemic is the “dem” in the middle. So true.

[painter]

That is 4AM. my time. I’m on here ALOT but NOT 24/7!

[BobL]

Were these the same ‘17 intelligence agencies’ that told the world that Trump colluded with Russia?

Seems to me that Trump did the right thing in IGNORING THEM...since they flat-out lie half the time.

That's becoming the norm now it seems. Things change over time
and with the country shut down more people have the time to spend
on FR. Hopefully the world will get back to some normalcy in a few
months. Take care and enjoy the comradeship.

Jan 29th, Feb 3rd, Feb 17th....Fauci says...don’t worry about....chances are miniscule...

To be fair, he was explicitly discussing current danger to people in the United States. To them, at that time, the danger to them was extremely small. That changed when the outbreak exploded in early March.

[yesthatjallen]

Good Morning America? Oh brother, shut up and stick to recipes, dancing bear cubs and vapid celebrity news. That show is for imbeciles.

And all these imbeciles are going to hear is 'Trump knew about the Coronavirus in November and did nothing'.

The medium is the message.

What better way to spread misinformation than to introduce it into the vapid rumor mill of imbeciles who lack critical thinking skills?

[I want the USA back]

They’re obviously going to whip this out during Impeachment Part II.
