Coronavirus 'cover-up' by China is similar to Chernobyl disaster: White House adviser

In latest development of US-China row over coronavirus outbreak, a senior White House official has compared cover-up done by Chinese government of COVID-19 pandemic with handling of Cherbyl disaster in 1986 by Soviet Union. In an interview with an international media outlet, White House National Security viser Robert O’Brien said that China was aware of what was happening with vel coronavirus as it originated in country in vember, but did t tell truth to World Health Organisation (WHO) so that it can formulate global response to health crisis.

O’Brien said that Chinese government “unleashed” a virus on world that went on to ‘destroy trillions of dollars’ in American wealth that government has to spend to keep ecomy afloat during outbreak. According to National Security viser, ‘cover-up’ done by Asian superpower for COVID-19 pandemic is ‘going to go down in history, along with Cherbyl’. He ded that people will witness an ‘HBO special’ about ongoing global health crisis about ‘10-15 years from w’. 

Cherbyl disaster occurred in former Soviet Republic of Ukraine when rioactive nuclear material was released into environment that resulted in death of dozens of people within a few weeks. Moreover, thousands of people were forced to leave ir houses but Moscow delayed response by t revealing actual extent of what turned out to be ‘worst nuclear accident’ in history.
