The Wall Street Journal obtained an intelligence report that reportedly revealed three staff members in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology went to a hospital to be treated “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness” in the fall of 2019.

One of their anonymous sources is reportedly taking the intelligence very seriously. “The information that we had coming from the various sources was of exquisite quality. It was very precise. What it didn’t tell you was exactly why they got sick,” the source told the Journal.

On the other hand, China continues to deny that the coronavirus came from any of its labs. The foreign ministry continued to deny in a statement to WSJ. “The U.S. continues to hype the lab leak theory. Is it actually concerned about tracing the source or trying to divert attention?”

The United States Army recorded and released unnerving video of a close encounter with a Chinese jet over the South China Sea. The Chinese military plane came “dangerously” close to the U.S. military aircraft in the international airspace last week, the U.S. military announced on Thursday.

The Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), the command responsible for overseeing U.S. operations in the area, said in a statement that the encounter occurred on December 21, during which a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet flew within 10 feet (3 meters) of a U.S. Air Force RC-135, a reconnaissance plane with about 30 people on board.

According to a U.S. military spokesperson, the Chinese jet came within 10 feet of the airplane’s wing, but 20 feet from its nose, causing the U.S. aircraft to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision.
