> It is just me, or does it seem suspicious to anyone that this information existed, and wasn't reported in 2019 or 2020, or even in early 2021....but only just reached the press on the very evening of the WHO meeting.

Not really. The original source was "a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report." It's quite plausible that the report had been on the shelf in 2019 or 2020, or only accessible to people who knew how to keep secrets, but then was more widely disseminated to prepare for this meeting, after which a leaker got hold of it.
