re: #23 Hecuba’s daughter

There are two conflicting stories out in the press:
1. Our intelligence community briefed NATO and Israel back in November about this virus.
2. The PDBs in January briefed the President about the virus.

So — is the first statement credible? That would suggest that the intelligence failed to pass information to the president for over a month. If the first statement is true, why would they not have approached the president at the same time that they reached out to allies? Why would they have waited so long?

IIRC from what I’ve read, the intelligence community had been collecting data and trying to report it to the administration since november. But, Trump and his people didn’t want to hear it. That’s part of the reason the IC started telling Israel and NATO.
