(See 1:15 p.m. update).<br /><br /> The White House does "not have high confidence in the information coming out of China," a senior U.S. administration official told CNBC on Thursday. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/14/coronavirus-latest-updates-chinas-hubei.html" title="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/14/coronavirus-latest-updates-chinas-hubei.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer" class="attachment">https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/14/coronavirus-latest-updates-chinas-hubei.html</a> [cnbc]<br /><br /> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/covid19" rel="tag">COVID-19</a></span> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/2019ncov" rel="tag">2019-nCoV</a></span> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/sarscov2" rel="tag">SARS-CoV-2</a></span> #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/coronavirus" rel="tag">coronavirus</a></span>3270032http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-02-14T19:54:50+00:002020-02-14T19:54:50+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
