Our resident contrarian claims not:

Your 'resident contrarian' doesn't agree with all WHO's recommendations .. ( wearing of Masks ) so there's a bad start for you !


I think you are confusing 'Trampu's' rant against WHO - ask yourself - 'Why' ? 


What specifically, makes you think they're not apolitical... ? 

Quora is NOT a place to find sane answers to questions ... any wacko can offer up a 'conspiracy theory' ..

It's hard to imagine any organisation that is not influenced by politics. That's humans for you.

Is the WHO overly influenced by China? I think that depends upon where you set the line over how influence works and what is appropriate. That's not my place to do, however, we can clearly see that the USA is seeking to increase its influence. Again, not really within my purview to understand whether the USA is right or wrong in this regard.

It seems to me that claims being made against the WHO in respect of their handling of Covid-19 do not meet the bar of being justified by known facts.

Make of this what you will but I see this as a WHO announcement. Either covering up for China or hoping to avoid freedom of movement, open border limitations. Both politically motivated.

The resident psycho pensioner thinks WHO were just sharing other people’s info for something to do. Because WHO are known for sharing good memes and general updates.

Only one problem. It took some time to find that human to human transmission was what was going on. Its fine to be wise after the fact, but at any given time we only know what we know.

The same story is going around about the use of the word 'pandemic'. Blame is being attached to the WHO, the problem is that there's a clear definition of what a pandemic is but the criteria for the application is very subjective.

Of course, in reality, in most respects the use of the term by the WHO should not have had an effect upon how various governments chose to act.

Both of these claims seem to be much more about deflection by some governments and politicians seeking to minimise their inaction and suboptimal choices than it is about facts.

One is reminded of recent attacks on the British authorities about the change in status of Covid-19 from HCID. It has been claimed that this was an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the virus. If one reads the definition of the status it becomes clear that the change in status reflected what had become known about the virus and was a rational choice, based upon clear evidence and facts that are not in dispute.

We need to be aware of mudslinging at times like this because there's usually a reason for it that is not directly related to the claims being made.

I have already pointed out that it was Chinese govt told WHO what their 'preliminary tests' showed .. yet you feel the need to suggest that it was WHO's announcement

When WHO told he world that the UK had the 'best  tests the world' for Coronavirus Sar" Covid-19 - 'coz the UK's Minister for Health said so on Jan 23 2020 ...should we say that WHO are in the pocket of the UK govt, too ?

It took some time to find that human to human transmission was what was going on.


No it didn't, Are you making stuff up again? China announced to the world Jan 20 that human to human transfer is possible a couple of days before locking down 60 million people around Wuhan. Prior to their announcement they refused experts from CDC and WHO from coming to China to evaluate the situation and virus themselves because they knew they'd get caught lying.

They knew a long time ago it could be transferred by humans but they wanted WHO to continue to advise against travel restrictions to China. China wanted tourism and business to continue as usual and wanted the world to believe the only way to get the virus was to eat meat from a Wuhan wet market. They were silencing doctors that said otherwise. Funny thing is there isn't a single piece of meat or animal source in the world ever discovered to be contaminated with the virus. But the meat market just happened to be 280 meters from a facility that houses the world's most dangerous pathogens. What is the odds  the worst virus of the century is found next door to the only facility in China qualified to handle it?

You, your family and friends, and your nation will pay with lives and loss economy but you will be in massive denial China was deceptive and negligent. Get your head examined.

You're making a heap of statements of fact that you have no way to support.

You work from a premise that is unproven and, at least at this time, and absolutely back then, unsupported by fact.

It's OK to have an opinion, but an opinion unsupported by facts is pretty valueless.

Please note, I am. Not saying, and have not said, that the Chinese knew otherwise, because, like you I know nothing better.

The WHO did not know either. So, at that time the best information was that it was not transmitted by human contact.

What even you know and agree with is that as soon as it became clear that human transmission was possible, the Chinese took steps to close down human transmission.

So, applying the little grey cells, to the extent that you are able, you can infer that had the Chinese known that human transmission was a significant but not sole, vector of transmission, they'd have taken the ateoa they did sooner.

Fitting malign intent to facts unknown at the time makes no sense.

Try a thought experiment.
If the Chinese knew that human transmission was taking place previously, why, given the huge impact on the country of closing down human transmission, do you think they postponed that effort?

Even you can understand, I am almost sure, that had they taken action earlier the problems they faced would have been much reduced. Any epidemiologist would have known this, any clinician would have known this, any politician would have known this - because they'd have been informed of it by the advising experts.

So, the experiment is this: given that the Chinese, in your scenario would have known the effect of not closing down Wuhan, why did they not take action sooner? It is, to a rational mind inconceivable that they'd have done it to enable a few people to fly around the world for a few days because the benefit of that is absolutely tiny in comparison to the cost of doing so.

Yes thinking and looking at realities might be good endeavor.

It is known that the Chinese authorities in November and December were aware there was a problem. They tried to suppress this information reprimanding a doctor in Wuhan and others who attempted to alert the population.

It is known that the Chinese authorities refused to allow International Health officials to ascertain the facts in and around Wuhan.

We will assume that there was more than one health or medical person in late 2019 that said "Houston, Beijing I think we have a problem." Most likely cooking bats was no longer the cause of the problem. Even a thinking teenager with a rudimentary knowledge of hygiene and how viruses (colds & flu) spread would know what to do.

China actively promoted the lie that another party created and spread the virus, pointing a finger in the direction of Washington and Moscow. I can only say keep on trying, it seems no one is buying that Chinese crap.

So it is a reasonable assumption that the Chinese, by there own actions excaberated and contributed directly to greater spread of there 'gift'. In defense of China they far earlier made available the gene sequence than with the SARS virus.

If one wants to be both be an apologist for both Moscow and Beijing feel free to wear those hats.

Andrew, you can be stupid but don't expect the rest of us to follow stupid.

China decoded the genome of the virus Jan 12. Apparently they studied the virus so they knew if it could or couldn't be transferred human to human. With pathogens, this is one of the very first things government and medical experts need to figure out. So when doctors ask a patient "Where you been?", some patients may say I was in the Wuhan wet market while others say they been to places nowhere near that market and certainly didn't eat the meat there, then it's easy to conclude human to human transfer is happening back in December when the Chinese government was trying to silence people.

When China notified WHO and the World they have a new virus, they told everybody it's not human to human transferable as if they already evaluated the virus's behavior. If China didn't know it could be transferred human to human as you claim, they should've stated they are confused about the virus's behavior instead of making claim expressing confidence about the virus's behavior. But continue to make yourself look bad. It's your reputation and you have a right to ruin it.

As the Zionist Troll wake up and left his bottle and also the US subordinate servant....came out in force to provide cover up, for the failures or their Mafia Government, to take early measures to protect the US population......

Even a financially busted country, like Greece, is providing better support and service than the USA rich country.

[attach=2]

The abject failure of the administration has magnified this crisis. The president is already trying to pass the buck.

Even in these extraordinary times, the sight of the president of the United States presenting a slide which announced as a “goal” the death of up to 240,000 of its citizens was almost beyond belief. To hit the lowest end of the target, a staggering 100,000 American deaths, would show that his administration had done “a very good job”, Donald Trump claimed this week. The highest end would be more than double the US casualties in the first world war.

This could only be considered a positive outcome because the alternative is so shocking: without mitigation measures, if people fail to stay at home as advised, the US could be heading for between 1.5 million and 2.2 million deaths.

Of course, there's a big difference between COVID-19 and influenza: in order to get deaths down to the same number as flu in the USA its necessary to close down the economy!

We don't yet know what the numbers will be, but it sure as shit is more deadly than the flu in the UK! So far its about 7 times as deadly as the last flu season in the UK.

So, not really comparable after all, eh?

I have already pointed out that  2018/9 is substantially lower than the average for the last 7 years..

Whilst the UK has not ( anywhere near) reached that average ... it could, if the daily rate of deaths keeps up for another 6 days


However, any one claiming this is an 'over-reaction' should try to get to Belarus ....  There you will die of 'pneumonia'..

Not everyone happy with Who!

But there is some truth to them.

In the early days of the crisis, the WHO amplified Chinese claims and figures without signaling that they could be inaccurate. The organization was slow to address the risk of human-to-human transmission, slow to declare a public health emergency and slow to use the term pandemic.

Yet it was quick to praise Beijing. As evidence mounted that China silenced whistleblowers and undercounted cases, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director general, continued to heap compliments on Beijing and dodged questions about worrying problems with the Chinese response.

“You had the authority, you had the ability to challenge China, to question China as to what they were doing, and you needed to do that for global health,” said David Fidler, an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who has written about and worked with the WHO for years, referring to the organization. “You failed to do it.”

Criticism about how the WHO handled China is resonating well beyond the White House. Japan’s deputy Prime Minister recently called the WHO the “China Health Organization.” Nearly 1 million people have signed an online petition calling for Tedros to resign.

Perhaps this thread should read is The WHO Influenced by Stupidity?

(PoliticalLookout.Com)- Australia did the world a favor on Tuesday when Prime Minister Scott Morrison confronted the World Heald Organization over its endorsement of the reopening of China’s wet markets.

If you don’t already know, wet markets are markets in China that sell live wild animals and other produce used for food and medicine. The conditions are not clean, and animals are often caged and stacked up on top of one another. Owing to the dirty conditions, and the fact that animals often urinate and defecate on one another, it is a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.

It is believed that the COVID-19 virus originated in a wet market in Wuhan, China.

According to the Canberra Times, Morrison lashed out at the World Health Organization’s “unfathomable” decision to support the reopening of the markets, where animals are also slaughtered, while the virus still sweeps across the world. “I’m totally puzzled by this decision,” he said. “We need to protect the world against potential sources of outbreaks of these types of viruses. It has happened too many times.”

Morrison, a conservative, also called on the WHO for greater transparency and information relating to the origins of the coronavirus, and how the wet markets allowed it to develop and spread. He called the decision by the WHO to defend the reopening “unfathomable” and slammed the dirty markets as a “global health threat.”

“Australia and the world will be looking to organizations like the WHO to ensure lessons are learned from the devastating coronavirus outbreak,” Morrison said.

Australia is maintaining good relationships with the United States throughout the pandemic. On April 8th, Morrison confirmed that he had discussed efforts to combat the virus with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Its an open letter to President Xi:

"They endanger the whole world"

Dear President Xi Jinping,

Your embassy in Berlin sent me an open letter because we asked BILD whether China should pay for the gigantic economic damage that the Corona virus is currently causing worldwide. Your message calls it "infamous" and accuses me of "fueling nationalism". Let me say a few things about this.

1. You rule by surveillance. You would not be president without surveillance. You can monitor everything, every one of your citizens, but you refuse to monitor the high-risk animal markets in your country. Any critical newspaper or website will shut you down, but not the stalls selling bat soup. You not only monitor your people, you also endanger them - and with it the whole world.

2. Monitoring leads to lack of freedom. Those who are not free are not creative. Those who are not innovative do not invent anything. That is why you have made your country the world champion in theft of intellectual property. China enriches itself with the inventions of others instead of inventing itself. The reason for this is that you are not letting the young people in your country think freely. The biggest Chinese export hit that nobody wanted, but that went around the world anyway, is Corona.

3. When you, your government and your scientists had to know long ago that corona is transmitted from person to person, you left the world in the dark. Your top experts did not answer the phone, did not answer an email when western researchers wanted to know what was going on in Wuhan. You were too proud a nationalist to tell the truth that you felt was a national disgrace.

4. The Washington Post reports that laboratories in Wuhan have researched corona viruses in bats without meeting the highest safety standards. Why aren't your toxic labs as secure as your political prison? Do you want to explain this to grieving widows, daughters, sons, husbands, parents of Corona victims around the world?

5. People are already whispering about you in your country. Your power is crumbling. You have created an opaque China that once stood for an inhuman surveillance state and now stands for the spread of a deadly plague. This is your political legacy.

Your message tells me that I would not do justice to the "traditional friendship of our peoples". I assume you consider it a great "friendship" if you now generously send masks around the world. I do not call this friendship, but smiling imperialism. They want to strengthen China through an epidemic that came from China. I don't think you can save your power personally. I believe that sooner or later Corona will mean your political end.

Sincerely,

Julian Reichelt

It is believed that the COVID-19 virus originated in a wet market in Wuhan, China.

By who? ( note: not WHO )

Wuhan cases were mainly type 'B' - same as in Europe - not type 'A' - same as found in other parts of China and the USA....

Dumb fcuk, the words you quote are NOT mine.

You get your knickers in a twist when another poster does the same. I clearly indicated where the article came from. Please be at least a little bit honest.

Dear AvHdB

1/ The 'quote' code doesn't have a 'this is me quoting, you dumb fck' functionality and I even realised you were quoting someone.. supporting their stance ..

2/ Now we've established that, can you address the point .. ?  I can't ask Scott Morrison...  Do you think the virus kicked off in Wuhan ?
