I researched the issue. Its typical bullshit coming out of your man Trumps mouth. You should be smarter than to rely on what a sociopath said as fact.
Your bias and dishonesty is showing. I’m not depending on trumps statement. I’m depending on my understanding of human nature. If you were working a pandemic, and going home to your family, wouldn’t you bring a couple masks for comforts sake? When everybody feels so compelled this causes bug problems and the best you can hope for is that they don’t start bring them home to sell on eBay. Take two seasons of nurse Jackie and call me in the morning.

China and WHO - death of thousands on their hands!

China didn’t warn public of likely pandemic for 6 key days

In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations.

President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, Jan. 20. But by that time, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.

But there is no evidence that I have seen.
Instead you pop off based not on your own Dotards idiotic statement,or on any known facts, but on your surmising of what is human nature.
Do I have that right?

Over 7000 deaths worldwide again today... I was hoping we saw the peak and it would slowly trend down but maybe this bastard is getting a second wind.

It's in 210 countries/territories so I realize it's in different stages of decline/advance in each area... overall though I was hoping for a gradual decline worldwide but that isn't looking likely yet.

I appreciate a discussion companion who makes me more right every comment. If you google healthcare workers pilfering masks there are a large number of hits. You can take your choice.

WHO isn’t mentioned in that article. China’s dictatorial leadership certainly appears to have blood on it’s hands, though.

So does WHO

my political views on Mr Orange is clear and people are tired of it, But I agree at him investigating why WHO got so many things wrong

As I posted earlier--I was supposed to fly into China on Feb 5th and I spent a lot time looking at what WHO was putting out there and I have a problem with all the contradictory reports they put out in Jan

What a f***ing dingbat.

Is this person really that ignorant of why it’s Covid 19, and not 18, or 1? Where did she get the idea from that the name comes from different virus strains, instead of (properly) the year - 2019 - when it was first noted? I wonder if she knows better now? Who is she anyway?

I want to think that she's not THAT ignorant, but playing to those that are. But then again, you can't be too sure. Fox News definitely has a narrative to follow.

Do a quick google before hitting any trails. I don't know if it's the same over there, but basically every park, trail, etc. is closed in Ontario.

People(usually the ones who refuse to leave when asked) are getting fined fairly often here.
Are sidewalks closed there? Lots of people out golfing, playing tennis, and going for walks here. (Left coast). Our top doc here has been saying, as long as people keep their distance and keep proper hygiene, she’s not concerned about spreading the virus when out doors.
