MojNews- US intelligence is "still figuring out precisely" where the coronavirus outbreak began, with Washington "demanding" that China be more "transparent and open" regarding its origins, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has declared.

"China could have spared the world a descent into global economic malaise. They had a choice but instead - instead China coverd up the outbreak in Wuhan ," Pompeo claimed. He added that China was "still refusing to share the information we need to keep people safe, such as viral isolates, clinical specimens and details about the many  COVID-19 patients in December 2019, not to mention patient zero."
