Classified U.S. Report – China under reported impact of COVID-19 Outbreak
The U.S. Intelligence Community believes that China is concealing the true extent of the coronavirus outbreak in that country.
Bloomberg News is reporting that a classified report – presented to the White House — claims China is under-reporting both total cases and deaths it’s suffered from the disease.
The COVID-19 outbreak began in China’s Hubei province in late 2019, but the country has publicly reported only about 82,000 cases and 3,300 deaths. The U.S. so far has reported 189,000 cases and more than 4,000 deaths.
Western government officials say other countries are also not being honest in providing accurate counts. They point to Iran, Russia, Indonesia and especially North Korea, which has not reported a single case of the disease.
