    I read it. They shouldn't be opened up AT ALL and the WHO should make it very clear that their opinion is that China SHOULD NOT OPEN those particular markets up again. >>>MOD EDIT Off Topic Removed<<<

    As does UV, a couple of our local markets have figured this out and are no longer bring carts back into the store during the day, they leave them in the cart stalls out inthe lot where the sunlight sanitizes them.

    They still are spraying the push handles, while they are outside, but have gotten smart and are no longer bringing them back into the store during the day.

    Why would I believe a word out of Lying WHO's mouth when they have demonstrated that they are nothing more than a regurgitator of Chinese Communist Party Propaganda that is now complicit in 143k violent deaths?

    No one with a brain pays any heed to these Chi-Com Parrots

    The World Health Organization Wants to Restrict Access to Adult Beverages and May Face Violent Backlash.

    “There are any number of reasons to tell the WHO brain trust what to do with their suggestion, chief among them being that they are a bumbling bunch of idiots who really dropped the ball when the virus began to spread. It’s safe to say that their advice is suspect, especially in matters of life, death, and important quarantine recreation matters.”​

    Let us not forget the fact that WHO has been acting like a lap dog for the ChiComs, running interference for them and accepting whatever commie spin on the bat flu saga they offer.

    We are already sick of other Americans telling us what we can’t do or can’t have. I’m not at all in the mood to have a bunch of ChiCom water-carrying, UN offshoot Eurotrash getting in between us and our craft beer while we're Zoom-ing away our stay-at-home time with friends and family.

    LOOOOOL !!!! He takes pleasure you say? Are you kidding? if this wuld be true, your idiot in White House would have done actions in January and play the jerk as usual! Trump is only a bastard and the worst person on this planet since Mao, Stalin and Hitler!

    if you search guilt for Corona in the USA, look on Trump and you have the correct one!

    Then maybe time to ask questions that are worth to be answered, eh?

    Why is it wasted money please? The WHO did right that what they have to do and what they are allowed to do by the tasks and rules you gave them. And because they followed the rules, they are now guilty? Are you serious?

    Let's not forget that the WHO is not based in China, but in Switzerland, where Americans work and have a direct line with the CDC in the US. Let's stick to that the White House made a memo how this virus could be killing millions of people in the US in January, when Donald was praising China all over how well they were cooperating. That piece of obesity kept a lit on that. That walking heart attack in the making arranged 2 airplanes full of Americans to take out of Wuhan in the mids of the travel ban. Wuhan where that lab is. That lab that is getting millions from the US. What were all them Americans doing there in a place we never heard of before? Why did that fat piece of lard not tell the US the disease is really deadly and we should all take precautions in January? Why is that clogged up artery blaming the WHO for keeping things secret when his CDC had a direct line in to the heart of the WHO and it was the US who kept that memo of how deadly the virus is a secret? Is he just passing blame around because the elections are around the corner?



    Only the GOP are complaining China and the WHO are not doing their things right. You don't see hard hit Italy or Spain complaining. They know that the beached walrus didn't do crap in February preparing his country for the shock it is in. He went playing golf, and had massive pre corona lock down parties to rant about the new hoax that was coming. Not such a funny hoax now.

    You must admire Trump to emulate him as you do. Someone making the claim that Trump is worse than those who murdered their own people is in no position to call anyone an idiot.

    WHAT DOES THE W.H.O. DO?

    I know the WHO well and have friends that work there. There is no way that the WHO could have done what Donald Dork says that it did.

    Once again, Mr. Brainless is switching the argument to "look good". He's already in "Reelection Mode" and needs one-helluval-lotta people to put the blame on someone else!

    Whilst three/four months ago, when Covid-19 was beginning to raise its ugly-head, he was telling the world "don't-you-worry!". Donald Dork wanted everything to go hunky-dory this reelection year.

    About Trump and the WHO, from here:
    What does the WHO do, and why has Trump stopped supporting it?

    The WHO is welcomed WITH OPEN ARMS anywhere in the world except the US. Whyzzat?

    Because the US does not need the WHO! It has an advanced medical system. (Which is far more expensive than it should be!)

    It is most welcome in the poorer countries because they do not have means to do better. (And many are run by crooks!)

    Oh ... truth hurts?
    it is not about murdering people, but the dirty propaganda war with spreading lies, fake news and accusiation all and everything for own faults which put Trump in the same chamber with Mao, Stalin and Hitler!

    A second false statement doesn't make the first any less false. As far as hurting, I am not the one posting emotional rants.

    See here.

    France assumes the total running cost of the WHO international office in Lyon. See here. Lyon and Geneva are physically close to one another and the center is international is scope.

    How much MONEY is your life worth ... ?

    Cool, how much does that cost France? My guess something short of $432 million. or even the $42 million China kicks in.
    As for my life?
    Compared to the world's economy? Not much, nor do I worry about that fact.

    Blah-blah-blah. Prevarication without the slightest factual evidence. Let's see the proof! Otherwise you're just pissing-into-a-public-forum. And enough IS enough!

    So, what you do now is take the WHO-budget and read it. Then show how all that money really has no benefit whatsoever ...

    PS: From off the Internet, only one of its many International Programs:

    More blah-blah-blah. True enough, the WHO spends money on countries that have or want to develop a Healthcare System.

    Uncle Sam has no such entity! One must presume you-plural are going to live forever? Which is why your lifespan in the US is 79 and mine 83 in France ...


    Yeah, just one more local-yokel in the boonies of America. How I envy you ...

    I think WHO is working for the Chinese govt and their goal is weakening everyone else they they can control the world. China would certainly love for the US to die off slowly as they take control of more and more of our media, hospitals and tech infrastructure. They’re playing the long game and human death and suffering has never been a concern of theirs.

    WHO LIES.

    So, front line healthcare folks don't need them?

    Perhaps you should read the link which specifically refers to mask wearing outdoors?

    Ok...Hopefully we're done trashing Trump's favorite current whipping boy.

    The fact remains that WHO was trying to preserve masks for front line workers.

    It also remains that masks do NOT primarily protect the wearer but rather the people around the wearer.

    A cough can spread droplets TWELVE FEET without a mask. That number drops significantly with a mask.

    Even heavy breathing can push infected breath out much further without a mask.

    Will it keep the wearer from getting infected? Maybe a little. It will catch the bigger particles...which will then remain on the mask.So take them off carefully and drop them immediately in the garbage if they are disposable or into a bucket of soapy water if they are cloth...and then WASH YOUR HANDS

    Soap by the way kills the virus. Not even disinfectant soap. Just regular old soap tears it apart

    Perhaps Germany would be happy to pay a bit more to the WHO to make up for the US withholding some of the $432 million they kicked in last year.
