US intelligence agencies alerted Israel to the coronavirus outbreak in China already in November, Israeli television reported Thursday.
According to Channel 12 news, the US intelligence community became aware of the emerging disease in Wuhan in the second week of that month and drew up a classified document.
Information on the disease outbreak was not in the public domain at that stage — and was known only apparently to the Chinese government.
US intelligence informed the Trump administration, “which did not deem it of interest,” but the report said the Americans also decided to update two allies with the classified document: NATO and Israel, specifically the IDF.
The network said Israeli military officials later in November discussed the possibility of the spread of the virus to the region and how it would affect Israel and neighboring countries.
The intelligence also reached Israel’s decision makers and the Health Ministry, where “nothing was done,” according to the report.

The NYT tired to revive this claim.
Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources
The virus was around in November, I thought it started in December?
Maybe it was another U.S. intelligence operation against Trump.
CIA leaking “fake news,” I’d guess.
Probably been around since September
Would have been a bad flu seasons without the media hysteria
Merely reporting a virus outbreak does not lead to the conclusion of what was going to happen.
As Garrett Morris would say:
“OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT! A CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT HAS BEEN RELEASED! THE US PRESIDENT HAS BEEN INFORMED OF MYSTERIOUS DISEASE IN CHINA!
[[Merely reporting a virus outbreak does not lead to the conclusion of what was going to happen.]]
Bingo- like predicting hurricanes- sometimes they happen, often they don’t happen in hte numbers that are predicted- no need to shut down an entire country because one might be coming months from now-
Italy was showing symptoms of Covid (SAR-Cov-2) in November before it had a name. They have a large Chinese population and the Communists have control of an Italian port. The Chinese have heavily invested in European companies or bought them outright. Gilead applied for a Chinese patent in 2016 for remdesivir to combat coronoviruses. They still haven’t received the patent, but it wouldn’t do Gilead any good now since the Chinese have produced a copycat of remdesivir for their own use.
this is to enforce that trump knew and did nothing.
nothing.
he should be impeached. again.
I did too but apparently there is a Ted Talks Daily podcast (Spotify) by Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post journalist Gary Liu who gives an in-depth talk about the dates of the spread & reaction to the virus by the PRC. He said that classified government documents have the PRC dating the the origin of the outbreak to November 17th which is about a month and a half before they notified the WHO.
Proof positive the President acted too slowly. This was before he moved too quickly. Then he moved too slowly again.
I need a scorecard.

Okay, whew!! This MUST be true, then. I ALWAYS get my news from Channel 12.
Not.
Geez.
It’s like watching table tennis, with these leftists ;-)
...I've got whip-lash....
the corona virus has probably been part of the communist’s bio weapons program since the Clintonista regime, it just recently escaped the lab.
“Maybe it was another U.S. intelligence operation against Trump.”
And now Israeli fake news media can recycle the fake news leak to use against Netanyahu.
A twofer.
Total BS because in Israel there are over 14,000 cases and 151 deaths..if Israel knew in advance of this, there wouldn’t be SO many cases in Israel
Agencies? Plural? Any names attached to these agencies? Human names, I mean.
Hint: they may have been in on it.
