White House compared coronavirus to Chernobyl accident

China's actions to conceal the outbreak of coronavirus infection in Wuhan are similar to those of the Soviet Union to conceal the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986, U.S. President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser Robert O Brien said on NBC. The way they concealed information about the spread of the virus is comparable to other historical events, to the Chernobyl disaster. In 10 15 years we will see a special series on HBO about it, he added. O Brien stressed that the new type of coronavirus pandemic caused major damage to the American economy and forced the U.S. authorities to spend trillions of dollars to prevent it from collapsing. The main problem which cost to us many, many thousands of lives in America and worldwide is that accurate information was hidden. It was the cover-up. And we will gradually get to the truth, he stressed. According to the news agency, previously U.S. President's National Security Adviser Robert O Brien accused China of coming attempts to steal a COVID-19 vaccine from the United States. According to him, the vaccine will be created in the USA, and the PRC will certainly try to steal it.
