Reference 9 and 10 are the same article, only 10 is using the full article of 9, and they credit them at the beginning. By citing different sources with the same origin, it will diminish the quality of this work. The lack of subsequent confirmation of these allegations also suggests more caution should be used in the sentence "As early as the second week of November 2019" e.g. "It has been alleged that as early..."

Information to add to this article: the roadblocks that appeared around the Wuhan Institute of Virology between October 14 and October 19, 2019. Or is this mentioned in some other Wikipedia article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 07:08, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned by the following passage:

As early as the second week of November 2019, contrary to the denial of the Pentagon, the American National Center for Medical Intelligence shared intelligence based on "monitoring of internal Chinese communications" that warned US allies, Israel, and NATO of a potential novel coronavirus pandemic coming out of Wuhan; then-president Trump downplayed the threat of the novel coronavirus.[4][5]

There are multiple problems here. First of all, the two references are to Common Dreams and Salon. Salon is yellow at RSP, and Common Dreams is not mentioned but likely worse than yellow. I would suggest instead basing it on sources that are clearly WP:RS. Here is one.[1] Secondly, I per WP:WIKIVOICE we should not take sides on disputed information. Instead, we should describe the controversy. Adoring nanny (talk) 02:44, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
