- The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that began with an initial outbreak in China has gone on to ravage cities around the world, resulting in more than 911,000 confirmed cases globally as of Wednesday afternoon. That’s according to the latest numbers from Johns Hopkins University.
- US intelligence officials, meanwhile, have delivered a report to the White House accusing China of basically lying about all of the important facts related to the virus — including about its numbers of confirmed cases as well as deaths.
- Those have been critical pieces of information, because public health officials and the White House coronavirus task force has used data from China to inform its modeling and predictions about what the novel coronavirus will do in the US.

As the number of confirmed cases and deaths stemming from the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to spike in the US, intelligence officials have submitted a report to the White House accusing China — which saw an initial outbreak of the virus in late 2019 — of misleading everyone about the most important aspects of the deadly virus.
The report, which was actually delivered to the White House last week, reaches a definitive conclusion about China’s number of cases and deaths from the virus which officials think the communist nation has deliberately under-counted. That matters in a big way, because US officials have based a lot of their modeling and understanding about the virus on what they’ve seen unfold in China, as well as what leaders there have reported about the virus.
