    WRONG!

    WHO stated that they did NOT have any evidence of DIRECT human to human infection AT THAT STAGE but they did NOT rule it out either.

    Yes, I already pointed that out days ago. He just ignores the facts.

    They also said that they were reporting what the Chinese told them.

    Makes one wonder at what point they will stop ignoring the facts?

    When a loved one is on a ventilator or they are on one themselves?

    I think this crisis is going to put an end to the rw war on science and facts. They are going to be held responsible for possibly tens of thousands of deaths. They told people to ignore the threat. Many did and many will surely die as a result. Their families and family lawyers are going to descend on the rw media like flies on dead bodies.

    I am not going to discuss Trump, as I find him too transparent and obvious to leave much room for genuine debate.

    But regarding China, on the one hand, and the WHO on the other hand, I will say the following:

    1- China took draconian measures that can't be totally replicated elsewhere. But unlike those who don't trust their facts and figures regarding this virus, I don't have reason to seriously doubt them on this issue. Any underestimation or error on their part would be similar to what you will find elsewhere. That said, there are plenty of people who will not be happy with some of China's culinary practices for good reason and, especially for those who often look for scapegoats in the face of tragedy, blaming all this on China will be a popular sell.

    2- The WHO did NOT acquit itself well in the early period in dealing with this pandemic. They were behind the curve and took certain positions which were totally foolish. Especially the fact that, well into the epidemic, they were still against travel restrictions. That doesn't mean that the WHO is to blame for this pandemic, or that you can compare them at all to the "Trump cult" and Trump mouthpieces who are seldom bothered by any fact or figure and only like to read off their propaganda scripts. But I wouldn't give the WHO high grades for the way they handled the issue in the beginning either. And I don't blame the Chinese for their failures in this regard. If anything, the WHO basically follows the script that happens to be in vogue in Europe.

    With respect to early detection and prevention in the US, It is all moot anyway. We knew it was here by Jan 20.

    As evidenced by the packed churches yesterday in Louisiana.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-Louisiana-church-state-cases-rise-3-540.html
    "
    Hundreds of people flouted Louisiana's COVID-19 ban on gatherings, coming on buses and in personal vehicles to the first of three Sunday services at their church as the governor warns that the state's healthcare system will be overwhelmed.

    An estimated 500 people of all ages filed inside the mustard-yellow and beige Life Tabernacle church in Central, a city of nearly 29,000 outside Baton Rouge.

    The church's pastor, Tony Spell, defied an order from Gov John Bel Edwards who banned mass gatherings in the state where more than 3,500 Louisiana residents have been diagnosed with the disease caused by the coronavirus, and 151 people have died, according to figures released Sunday

    It will follow the normal flu season which varies across the world. But unlike seasonal flu, very few people will be immune and the coronavirus is more contagious and deadlier than seasonal flu

    The biggest side effect has been permanent lung damage in the air sacks
    So you would never be the same

    Of course death is 1

    Question; Why Trump kept denying, dismissing, ignoring, and down-playing?

    Answer; Psychological, my dear Watson

    Historians; Donald Trump, the U.S. President who was madly in-love with his economy.

    Related story......

    20 years ago, my wife and her friends kept telling a woman who was madly in-love with her man that he wasn't the person he claimed to be.

    Results; Ongoing denials/dismissals until she caught him naked with another woman.

    In other words, ongoing denials/dismissals until REALITY struck her in the face.

    -------------------

    Now, in reference to the U.S. President who was madly in-love with his economy, when did REALITY struck him in the face?

    White House Briefing, March 16, 2020......Trump changes his tone, and gets real on the coronavirus threat.

    Yes, many people don't seem to realise that many people who recover after being on ventilators will have permanent lung damage plus some kidney, heart and brain damage and for some may have wished that they died. There has been a lot of news about lack of ventilators. It would be interesting to see what the benefits for those who were put on ventilators has been. It's not the virus itself that kills people, it is pneumonia and other bacterial infections

    We can say with certainty that the above-average intelligent people don't believe him.

    Let's continue.....

    Question; Have Trump's denials, dismissals, and down-playing
    persuaded pandemic experts to lay back in their recliners, and wait?

    NEGATIVE!

    One indisputable fact; Effective Jan 11th, 2020;

    1. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)…..Main Partner; Bill Gates' Foundation

    2. Morderna Inc......Main Partner; Bill Gates' Foundation

    3. Trump's National Institute of Health (NIH)

    All collaborated to develop a vaccine candidate, and according to Dr. Fauci, from obtaining Covid's genetic sequence to Phase 1 trial (within 42 days)….a world record!

    Thus, thank God we have intelligent people who don't always believe Trump.

    I believe we found out he had Corona on the 24th and shut down travel on the 31st, which the liberals and their leaders called Trump racist for. You can act like Trump is dumb but that only makes the dems look worst, the dumbest of the dumb. Sorry the dems don't get to run from this. At first it was he was overreacting, now he underreacted, it's laughable.

    Yes I saw that and it literally made me angry. I guess if anything the virus may weed out some of the stupid people.

    Love all this BS so he wasn't taking it seriously when he banned travel to China on Jan 31st?
    He wasn't taking it seriously when he created a Corona Virus task Force on Jan 29th?
    He wasn't taking it serious when he talked about it in the state of the union address (Feb 4th) saying the federal government would take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens?
    What about Feb 10th when he had a governors meeting to discuss the virus and logistics to insure every state had an open channel to the federal government task force, we had a12 cases at this point.
    What about Feb 25th when he announced he'll be asking congress for a relief bill?,
    Feb 25th he announced daily CDC briefings for America, lead by Pence. All before America's first Wuhan virus death on the Feb 29th.

    Anyone claiming it wasn't taken seriously would literally have to have been stuck in impeachment mode or living in a cave.

    Please note that it was in March - more than a month after the travel ban was imposed - when leftist leaders in NYC were telling citizens to ignore the warnings, and that it was safe, especially to ride the subway.
