U.S. National Security Adviser Says China 'Covered Up' Coronavirus



The Hill: Trump's national security adviser says China 'covered up' coronavirus

White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien on Wednesday criticized China’s response to the coronavirus as a cover-up and said that Beijing cost the global community two months to respond to the outbreak.

“Unfortunately, rather than use best practices, this outbreak in Wuhan was covered up,” O’Brien said in remarks at the Heritage Foundation. “There’s lots of open source reporting from Chinese nationals that the doctors involved were either silenced or put in isolation … so the word of this virus could not get out.”

“It probably cost the world community two months to respond,” O’Brien continued.

WNU Editor: The Chinese were definitely slow in their response, and irresponsible in trying to cover it. This is one of those situations where you have to wonder what they were thinking when this outbreak started to get out of hand.

It’s not the Chinese; Russians did it with Chernobyl, Maduro is doing it with the Venezuela economy (albeit not as much now). What’s common? Weak leaders!
