US intelligence warned White House in November that coronavirus in China could be 'cataclysmic'

[NinjaKnight]

U.S. intelligence officials warned in November that the coronavirus spreading in China’s Hubei region could become a “cataclysmic event,” ABC News reported Wednesday.

The military’s National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI) documented concerns about the initial stages of the pandemic in an intelligence report, two officials familiar with the document told ABC News, which added that the document highlighted how the virus was disrupting life and business and threatened the population in the area.

Intelligence was reportedly obtained through wire and computer intercepts along with satellite images showing the new disease was not under control in China.

Idiot trump ignored these intel briefings, like he does for nearly all of them.

It's not Trump's fault. He was too preoccupied with the impeachment hearings.

So ultimately, the blame belongs to Nancy Pelosi, right guys?*

 

[hemightbejeremy]

I don’t blame Trump for this one guys. Can’t expect him to know what “cataclysmic” meant. Should have said “terrible”. This is truly a case where you can and should “shoot the messenger”.

This is amazing. The first reported case of coronavirus in china was in December. They recently backed it up to November 29th.


On the flip side, those crazy conspiracy theorists have been saying that it was spreading long before the first case in the US.

This article is from 11/16, and references bubonic plague cases, as early as 11/03, but I would imagine there is a good chance it wasnt the bubonic plague, but rather corona, as the symptoms seem similar. (and a paywall comes up as you scroll, but you can read enough to get the point that a viral outbreak was being reported earlier than December). I think there is a good chance our intelligence people knew about this before December.

Myself, a nobody on an internet sports message board using open source Intel in January of 2020: hey this is kind of a big deal, not looking good

Trump, after classified briefings in November of 2019: iTs a DeMoCratIc hOaX!!!


Can't get any dumber than that, unless of course you are one of the few brain dead inbreds stupid enough to still be supporting Trump in April of 2020 after this absolute shit show.

Your foresight and logic probably qualifies you as a genius. Lets take a look back at your response to people thinking Jussie Smollett's "hate crime" was a little fishy

This is a complete fabrication on your part and is in no way based on any sort of facts or evidence other than your will for it to be true.

damn you're good.

Kind of hard to believe anything with the msm. Mixture of TDS and laziness in validating if a story is true.

 

[NinjaKnight]

And the press gets caught lying to the public again..

Of course you are wrong yet again.

Why do you bother posting? You know everyone realizes you are literally a moron.

By the way still waiting for you to admit you were 100% wrong about me and biden.

 

[NinjaKnight]

Not that y'all care about the truth, but here is another report of our Intel community providing ample warning.

Trump ignored it, then downplayed it, and now we are all suffering because of his incompetence.

I’m not one to side with Trump on many things, but there is no way he could have recommended shutdowns in January. Think of the backlash he would have faced if we ended up with almost no cases and deaths, but we shut everything down. As it is Covid19 is the leading cause of death in the country now and 30k have died in the past 2 weeks. And there are still people saying no big deal and we must reopen immediately.

China was locking down cities the size of Chicago in January, it's obvious that the problem was extremely serious. And it's not just shutting down stuff, but the total lack of preparedness. No masks, lack of gloves. Shit tier response.

I think he needed to let it get bad enough that his nuthuggers got a taste of how big of a deal the situation was. You know the ones who have downplayed it all along. Only problem is he may not have let it get bad enough because there are still Covid19 truthers floating around out there.

I disagree. The nutguggers have empirically proven they are 100% incapable of thinking for themselves. You can watch them through this crisis parrot whatever Trump is saying.

If he would have taken this seriously at the start, his cult would have taken it seriously. Instead he wastes the months of December January and February ignoring it, then calling it a democratic hOaX, then downplaying it, then finally taking it seriously, after we became the hot spot for the world. Just utter shit tier leadership.

It’s kind of a chicken and egg situation. Because he is the embodiment of his own nuthuggers. He didn’t think the virus was dangerous until he saw it. He let it fester just enough that now he can claim he saved hundreds of thousands of lives by his actions. If we acted sooner and the 35k Americans didn’t lose their lives to Covid19, no nuthuggers (including himself) would actually believe this was something to be concerned with. Keep in mind you are dealing with someone who thinks Obama is a Kenyan Muslim and vaccines cause autism.

I know you get a hard on and grab your one nut every time @NinjaKnight uses the word inbred, but the fact of the matter is nobody was locking down the country back then. You are a complete imbecile if you think Americans were staying inside with 0 deaths from this Jeremyloves Death virus

That’s pretty much exactly what I said. You weren’t going to convince a nuthugger that we should lockdown until we got some deaths racked up. If we did it earlier and prevented the deaths nuthuggers would question why we did it. As it is 80k or whatever this first wave turns out to be still might not be enough for the staunchest of nuthuggers.

You’re the ultimate hindsight is 20/20 fear mongerer. No one was locking down the country back then. No Democrat, no Republican and not even Dr Fauci. Stop being an idiot.

Weren’t you the one who was fearful that you contracted it? When was that Dr. Jeremy? Why weren’t you social distancing?

Yeah, but I'm not worried about what the inbreds think. I know they are functional idiots, nothing we can do will change that. I'm worried about the people who are dying and our economy that is destroyed because of the ineptitude of this administration.

We didn't need to lead the world in deaths or infections to know this was serious. We could have pulled a Germany, south korea, Taiwan, Sweden or anyone else that took correct actions at the beginning of this, and saved their country.

The one good thing about Trump being president right now is it's keeping the inbreds from staging massive nationwide versions of what happened in Ohio, with the zombie-like red hats storming the capital.

Can you imagine what these conspiracy theory embracing morons would resort to if Hillary was president and enacted the exact same social distance policies that Trump has published?

These idiots would be screaming from the roof tops about how this is the Antichrist taking over the world or other insane bullshit.
