    Yeah... that's cutting a tremendous corner there, bob. The WHO said that, because people should be tested and put in quarantine or else where such measures have been implemented, urge that they are short in duration, proportionate to the public health risks, and are reconsidered regularly as the situation evolves. And so that's just a lot more than just a no to the point it's GOP fake news.

    You mean, Donald claim that China has such an influence in the WHO. Influence with what?
    The WHO advised Donald to apply social distancing in January to stop the spread of the virus.
    And Donald went till February yelling it's a new hoax in a totally crowed arena:


    You can lead a horse to water....
    can't make it drink.

    Even Fauci said at one point millions could die if it wasn't for all the mitigation efforts like the lock downs.
    You indeed missed that. You think them lock downs didn't do crap about the spread of the infection and it was just for the laughs?

    China is no ones friend. They’re already screwing around Vietnam right now playing chess. It’s becoming more valid that they might have planned all this from the start. If they make any sort of power grab during this mess, they need to be instantly kicked out of the UN and the world needs to isolate them.

    Does China Have This Under Control?

    Every now and then, some report slips out indicating that China is still dealing with a significant problem.

    On April 6, “an official newspaper said there could be 10,000 to 20,000 such [asymptomatic] cases in Wuhan. The report was swiftly deleted online.”

    Chinese authorities are still claiming they’ve defeated the virus at home, and almost all of the new cases are coming in from travelers abroad. Unsurprisingly, this official spin is fueling xenophobia and racism among Chinese citizens. You probably saw the reports of out-in-the-open discrimination like the McDonalds in Guangzhou declaring that “black people” were not permitted inside. In Beijing, ambassadors from African nations say they and their staff are being hassled and harassed.

    Today, “the province of Shaanxi [in northwestern China] reported 21 new infections from abroad, as well as seven cases with no clinical symptoms, all travelers on a commercial flight from Moscow bound for the Chinese capital of Beijing.”

    In the capital city, “Beijing’s Chaoyang district, home to dozens of foreign embassies, has been designated a high-risk area after a family of three became infected, the first new cases in the city for 27 days according to the Beijing Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.”

    Chinese state media are continuing to claim that the virus is a U.S. bioweapon.​

    Commies lie.

    MON FEB 3, 2020 / 6:31 AM EST
    GENEVA (Reuters) - World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday there was no need for measures that "unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade" in trying to halt the spread of a coronavirus that has killed 361 people in China.
    China is facing increasing international isolation due to restrictions on flights to and from the country, and bans on travellers from China.
    There have been 17,238 confirmed infections in China including 361 deaths, as well as 151 confirmed cases in 23 countries and 1 death which was reported from the Philippines on Sunday, Tendros added.
    Because of this strategy and it weren't for China, the number of cases outside China would have been very much higher," he said.
    Referring to the virus' spread abroad, he said it was "minimal and slow", while warning that it could worsen.

    Tedious, who held talks in Beijing a week ago with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders, coughed and interrupted his speech to take a drink of water, quipping: "Don't worry, it's not corona".

    China's delegate took the floor at the WHO Executive Board and denounced measures by "some countries" that have denied entry to people holding passports issued in Hubei province - at the center of the outbreak - and to deny visas and cancel flights.

    "All these measures are seriously against recommendation by the WHO," said Li Song, who is China's ambassador for disarmament at the United Nations in Geneva.
    China's regular Executive Board representative was unable to attend after her flight from Beijing was canceled, Chinese diplomats told reporters on Friday.

    U.S. ambassador Andrew Bremberg said that the outbreak in two dozen countries required focused attention.

    "We express our support, prayers, sympathy, and appreciation to the people of China and especially the health responders on the front lines, who are protecting not only their communities, but the world," Bremberg said.

    Remember that Biden called the China travel ban fear mongering and yes hundreds of American nationals were allowed to get the hell out of China and told to quarantine for fourteen days. You’d have left them to die in China I guess.

    I got my information straight from the WHO website of early February, saying how I posted it. Sorry I got a clue what I am talking about.

    Pff... you hardly could find a company willing to fly you to China prior to the ban. lol
    And Fauci undoubtedly meant that Donald was to slow with his mitigation.
    Donald refused to support social distancing in February, when it was advised.
    Heck, the idiot held massive rallies.

    It saved a lot of lives, and happened over the objections of Democrats. Most of those who came back from China were US citizens.

    They are prescribing 3' for social distancing, which doesn't work. The WHO in mid January was telling us the virus wasn't contagious.

    Must be offended at Trump wanting you to pay your fair share instead of freeloading. If it wasn't for us you'd be practicing your Nazi salute.

    The WHO is a mouthpiece for China's lies.

    Oh ... if arguments are lost and facts disproof you, we take the Nazi issue again?

    Lame ... very lame! And aside this, we have a big bill against you too for your impudent freeloading against us!

    To a degree, I actually do think that and the proof in the pudding is the cases still increasing. So yes, the models are not only fundamentally flawed, the draconian approach recommended only 'works' A: If we believe the Chinese data and B: The situation in Wuhan was where it was essentially a closed environment off from the other provinces.

    That's not quite the situation at all in America, or Europe or most of the world. So it's flawed models and flawed approaches. Which led obviously to flawed results.

    Honestly, when I look at these ... sorry ... idiots in the media in the US, there are fewer of them in my country too, who demonstrate against the measures and insist on their civil rights etc. ... then I wish all of these demonstrators that they really get the corona virus themselves and have to be on the intensive care unit. Maybe then they'll start using the brain again!

    But what also plays a major role in addition to the measures themselves is the quality of the health system in the countries. I could, and rightly so, be malicious now, because it is still working sensibly here in Germany, unlike others ... because what was blasphemed against our German health system here in this forum by Americans ... but I do it not. Only the numbers are clear about this and they speak a clear language!

    Then stop with this drum fre against my country and others for own American faults!


    No, but it would be fine wehn Trump takes care of his own country only and does not spread bullshit and lies towards the rest of the world to hide his own incompetence in his own country!
    And it would be fine when youe americans would start to use this organ in your head which is called brain insteed believing every bullcrap what Trump tells you!

    Like you? :nana:


    ROFL ... isn't that bad? Really? Wait, a simple comparing: You have 4 times more people in the US we are in Germany, but you have 9 times more death until now.
    Well ... isn't really that bad the death toll :roflol::rock_slayer:

    Nice when someone does the same what you do all the time in the world ... and by the way ... if you haven't knwon this ... it is not an "American only forum" here ;-)

    Rarely read so much crap in so few words...
    Lets see ...
    Your poor and mentally understated president will never tire of scolding Germany because it does not meet its obligation to defend 2% of GDP (currently it is approx. 1.5%) + that we Germans are therefore at the expense of American taxpayers ... and you applaud Trump!
    So as a German I first have to explain to you what a ****ing liar your president is! For example, we have the 2014 NATO agreement in Wales / UK, which means that it will only be mandatory to invest this 2% in defense from 2024. Do we already have 2024? No ... but you applaud the idiot if he accuses my country of lies instead of worrying about the facts!
    Or ... the bad German car manufacturers, he once said, we don't want to see any more BMW and Mercedes on 5th Avenue because they cost American jobs with their exports to the USA etc. Funny ... the biggest exporter of cars "Made in the USA by US people "is ... drum roll ... BMW with its plant in Spartenburg / South Carolina!

    So you want to muzzle me as a German for these things that your president says and does in your country, but that affect my country? Forget it!
    In general, you can forget that because you interfere in so many things with others, spread bullcrap and sometimes believe and want to believe against all facts. You don't live in Lala Land and you don't live in a closed bubble like North Korea ...[/QUOTE]
