US Warned Israel of emerging virus in Wuhan - in NOVEMBER

I don't know how reliable the Times of Israel is, but this is a big one if true:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-alerted-israel-nato-to-disease-outbreak-in-china-in-november-report/

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.


as a reminder - Trump was rushed to Walter Reade hospital for a mysterious reason back in mid November as well.

It is World Health Organizations's job to keep track of infectious diseases.

By the NSA I believe. Today everyone was fretting about the 6 days in January China failed to report this while they knew it since November... I guess our credibility is 💩, because Israel didn’t use the knowledge either. That, or Bibi & his religious allies pulling a 🍊.
