===NCMI intelligence report===
In April 2020, [[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] reported that, in November 2019, "U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China's Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population". The article stated that the [[National Center for Medical Intelligence]] (NCMI), had produced an intelligence report in November 2019 which raised concerns about the situation. The director of the NCMI, Col. R. Shane Day said "media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists".<ref>{{cite news |vauthors=Margolin J, Meek JG |title=Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources/story?id=70031273 |access-date=29 June 2021 |work=ABC News |date=9 April 2020 |archive-date=25 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200425101816/https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources/story?id=70031273 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |vauthors=Casiano L, Griffin J |title=Defense official says media reports about November coronavirus intel assessment are false |url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/defense-november-coronavirus-intelligence-assessment-reports-false |access-date=29 June 2021 |work=Fox News |date=8 April 2020 |archive-date=3 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210503175505/https://www.foxnews.com/politics/defense-november-coronavirus-intelligence-assessment-reports-false |url-status=live }}</ref>
