Seems the power doesn't equate to fighting a virus. Maybe shoot the messenger and the world wont notice. The great and "powerful" Oz will hide behind the curtain of money, good world democratic process, wonder why he never joined the diplomatic corps. There needs to an INDEPENDENT investigation, untainted by bias, open and transparent processes, and reporting to international court of justice, well removed from the great and powerful Oz Edited April 15, 2020 by RJRS1301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post samran Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 Typical - blame others for his own failings. Plenty of other countries in the world figured this thing out faster than Trump and are well ahead of the curve now as a result. I guess their leaders weren’t out playing golf and doing campaign rallies - but instead taking this threat seriously when they should of. Still, his cheer squad loves the move. 15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post garrya Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 Even though it's true that most of these international organizations are rather inept, the one can't help but notice that Trump seems to believe that everybody on this planet represents something bad. He never seems to look around his "garden". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good ole Joe. Ok, so you mean that this is the best USA can produce at present time, or that the american people are totally unable to make the right choice?

And it will be fully funded. Very possibly staffed by graduates of Trump University. At least we will know the value of their qualifications. It will need a big headquarters complex - New York would be a suitable location - does anyone know who might have suitable real estate their? Their will be a considerable requirement for conferences and meetings and so on. Underutilised golfing resorts are ideal, does anyone know... Their will be a need for a bright young person of significant talent to head it up, preferably someone with close ties (kin maybe) to a major world statesman, does anyone know...

Popular Post Patong2 Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 This is the advice the WHO have on their website at the moment and gave out on the 6th January 2020 Looks like Trump has realised how incompetent or corrupt they are Pneumonia of unknown cause – China Disease outbreak news 5 January 2020 On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. As of 3 January 2020, a total of 44 patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology have been reported to WHO by the national authorities in China. Of the 44 cases reported, 11 are severely ill, while the remaining 33 patients are in stable condition. According to media reports, the concerned market in Wuhan was closed on 1 January 2020 for environmental sanitation and disinfection. The causal agent has not yet been identified or confirmed. On 1 January 2020, WHO requested further information from national authorities to assess the risk. National authorities report that all patients are isolated and receiving treatment in Wuhan medical institutions. The clinical signs and symptoms are mainly fever, with a few patients having difficulty in breathing, and chest radiographs showing invasive lesions of both lungs. According to the authorities, some patients were operating dealers or vendors in the Huanan Seafood market. Based on the preliminary information from the Chinese investigation team, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission and no health care worker infections have been reported. Public Health Response National authorities have reported the following response measures: One hundred and twenty-one close contacts have been identified and are under medical observation; The follow-up of close contacts is ongoing; Pathogen identification and the tracing of the cause are underway; Wuhan Municipal Health Commission carried out active case finding, and retrospective investigations have been completed; Environmental sanitation and further hygiene investigations are under way. WHO is closely monitoring the situation and is in close contact with national authorities in China. WHO risk assessment There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster of pneumonia of unknown etiology. The reported link to a wholesale fish and live animal market could indicate an exposure link to animals. The symptoms reported among the patients are common to several respiratory diseases, and pneumonia is common in the winter season; however, the occurrence of 44 cases of pneumonia requiring hospitalization clustered in space and time should be handled prudently. Wuhan city, with a population of 19 million, is the capital city of Hubei province, with a population of 58 million people. WHO has requested further information on the laboratory tests performed and the differential diagnoses considered. WHO advice Based on information provided by national authorities, WHO’s recommendations on public health measures and surveillance of influenza and severe acute respiratory infections still apply. WHO does not recommend any specific measures for travellers. In case of symptoms suggestive of respiratory illness either during or after travel, travellers are encouraged to seek medical attention and share travel history with their healthcare provider. WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China based on the current information available on this event.

But you really think a January 5 overview has any relevance? I would say their end of January warning for a worldwide health emergency is much more important, even though quite a few world leaders were still playing it down at that point, some even continued doing so till 45 days after that advice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, for all the noise the MAGA crowd make about Chinese influence, all the have done with this move is allowed for the Chinese to increase, not lessen their influence. And as we see here, the MAGA crowd cheer it on from the sidelines, a bit like turkey's cheering for thanksgiving. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
