    US intelligence claims China concealed extent of outbreak

    China has concealed the extent of its coronavirus outbreak, under-reporting both total cases and deaths it has suffered from the disease, the US intelligence community concluded in a classified report to the White House, according to three US officials.

    The officials asked not to be identified because the report is secret, and they declined to detail its contents. But the thrust, they said, is that China’s public reporting on cases and deaths is intentionally incomplete.

    US President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence have been pushing China to reveal more about the outbreak.

    Two of the officials said the report concludes that China’s numbers are fake, Bloomberg reports.
