The White American has been preconditioned to solve problems via firepower, coercion and blackmail. Coronavirus caught them flatfooted and Mr. Trump has tried blaming it on China to no avail, and he is now targeting WHO that is trying so much to help the rest of the world.
Yes, who defunds an organization like WHO in the midst of a crisis? All epidemics or pandemics start from somewhere, and we have never heard/had a country being asked for reparations of such nature, and China is no exempt even if the virus originated from there! I guess it is high time the quarantine was lifted in rebellious States such as Michigan, but had such States isolated from the rest of the US for containment purposes!
Stop peddling lies and exposing your ignorance here. The WHO initially lied to the world that Covid-19 could not be transmitted from human being to human being. It gave this false report at the time when the virus was spreading from China to the rest of the world.
Read my posts on Covid-19 transmission. Read my threads. They are on point…all the time! FYI as for Covid-19, all(most) are learning on the move! How come the US, despite all its scientists have not yet figured it out to-date? They have had more time and experience by now…than the Chinese or the WHO!
I have seen the copy-paste from WHO that you reference! What you are “using” is called “restrospective wisdom” and many have it. Some call it hindsight. Within the context of now, I call it “retrogressive wisdom” coz it adds little to no value in combating the Covid-19. Humans need to move forward!
Continue assessing sounds! Wish you luck. But you may write a paragraph “without sounds”. Oh…and thought processes too! “Ndume” is all about balls and meat, and we need less of it here!
It’s not a lie when you don’t know otherwise.
There is a reason it’s called the novel coronavirus - A virus not seen before. Everyone is learning about it at that same time, and new information comes in daily.
Also, WHO was reporting what the Chinese authorities had found. Even in that tweet you’ve posted, that’s reporting. They didn’t say it was their own finding.
They corrected themselves over the next few weeks as more and more was known.
Trump just needs a scapegoat.
Until one month ago, his entire re-election was based on how well the economy was doing, and nothing else.
Now that is gone. And the agreement is it won’t have fully recovered by election time.
He needs an enemy. A scapegoat.
It’s literally in one of his books, where he writes that you should never admit blame in any circumstance.
This tweet implied that WHO was solely depending on Chinese authorities findings and never verified the research. No wonder Trump calls them the ‘Wuhan health organisation’.
If you go through their Twitter feed, you will find similar quotes and government statements even before the coronavirus.
I doubt Twitter is a research paper.
But now we’re talking with the benefit of hindsight. I’m sure they’ll improve on their communication methods moving forward.
But the truth is, even after WHO started giving correct information, it took Trump a whole month to even start treating the virus seriously.
CDC was also downplaying it.
Fox new was worse, and this is Trump’s source of everything.
Trump is looking for the easiest target.
Defunding WHO is nonsensical. $500 million is nothing to the US gov. They can change the leadership if they want, but defunding it will be more detrimental.
For one, China can easily pick up the bill and buy even more influence. US loses.
If WHO remains underfunded, developing countries will suffer most. Pandemics more likely to go global. Will US keep closing their borders and shutting down their economy every few years?
China cares about influence. Anything to have one on the US. Plus now they have an image problem.
And $500 million is literally nothing to either of the two countries.
