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. The network said Israeli military officials later in November discussed the possibility of the spread of the virus to the region and how it would affect Israel and neighboring countries.
The intelligence also reached Israels decision makers and the Health Ministry, where nothing was done, according to the report.
Last week, ABC News reported that US intelligence officials were warning about the coronavirus in a report prepared in December by the American militarys National Center for Medical Intelligence

looked like they were going to use the congo outbreak similarly in 2020 but it came early and there were advances in treating and stopping it. covid came and someone convince the idiot to delay action.
