WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.

The officials said that dozens of classified discussions about such topics as the scope of infections, quarantines and travel restrictions have been held since mid-January in a high-security meeting room at the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), a key player in the fight against the coronavirus.

Staffers without security clearances, including government experts, were excluded from the interagency meetings, which included video conference calls, the sources said.

A high-level former official who helped address public health outbreaks in the George W. Bush administration said “it’s not normal to classify discussions about a response to a public health crisis.”


The moron-in-chief didn't want to spook the markets, so they delayed and distorted information about the spread of the coronavirus in the US.

Да какая разница... все это шу-шу-шу, как бы кто не узнал, не то «про этот случай раструбят на Би-Би-Си»... знакомо до боли и не менее противно. Дожили, называется.

В СССР все привыкли к, так сказать, булшиту. Но это надломилось, по моим ощущениям, на корейском Боинге в 1983 и Чернобыле в 1986. Подумалось: когда речь идет о жизни людей, не пора ли перестать врать?

Судя по всему, без Чернобыля не было бы периода "гласности", а без него - развала совка https://timelets.livejournal.com/282390.html

Ему нравится китайский опыт. Интересно, Homeland Security уже беседует в врачами, чтобы те не раздували панику? Впрочем, у нас же только Пенсу дозволено говорить о ковиде...
