Officials also claimed the report had been submitted to the White House as early as last week. President Trump has criticized China's conduct in the Corona crisis several times, claiming the country was "not honest." Various media outlets have previously claimed that several testimonies from China have indicated greater casualties From what they reported, the plague was allowed in the state, but unequivocal evidence was given.

The authorities in China were severely criticized when Dr. Li Williang's death, a doctor alerted to the spread of the virus, was the first to be identified. The affair revealed that China may have acted to conceal the virus and spread it in the early days of the epidemic.
