Almost no one has worn masks from the start. NZ removed all restrictions this week because zero cases. Very low mask usage throughout. Masks are one response in myriad responses to try and reduce spread but this doctor is simply trying to do a victory lap “I told you so”. Almost no one went outside either. Everything was pretty well shut. Distancing was pushed hard. If everyone wore masks it may have been over sooner. Both countries also closed their borders very early ingnoring the WHO. Australia also was the first country to declare it a pandemic well before the WHO. Edited June 10, 2020 by dinsdale 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been known for some time that asymptomatics can develop symptoms later. They were thus never true asymptomatics, but presymptomatic. Indeed the WHO has now qualified the statement somewhat, but it still remains that there is hard evidence where asymptomatic carriers were examined, 455 of their contacts identified and not a single one had the virus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7219423/ That van Kerkhove also said that: "We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing.

Whilst the WHO are rowing back slightly as they await studies to fully confirm does not change the evidence above. Indeed the WHO person stating that asymptomatic carriers very rarely transmit the virus was an embarassment for the WHO, as they had a few days previously reversed the advisory on masks. That their own people then make clear that asymptomatics actually almost never spread the virus must have been a bit embarassing, as it made the change of stance on masks wholly unnecessary.

Tired, sleepy and corrupt WHO under non-medical Dr. Tedros is in serious need of reform. A fair share of the blame for the spread of this pandemic rests with WHO's pandering to CCP narrative in the first few months of the pandemic, and now they seem intent on sowing confusion.

If you and/or your wife wears a mask/condom when out "shopping around" in "tight quarters" consistently, then you should be able to ride bareback with each other. Ok, lots of do this, don't do this, works, doesn't work, regarding masks. I say err on the side of safety. I'm wearing a mask. Is it such an inconvenience? It's not WW2 Imagine if Churchill had to make speech "We shall wear masks on the beaches, we shall wear them in the towns, we shall wear them in the pubs, we shall wear them in the shops..."

Well done sir you are qualified WHO should hire you! Regarding the masks that was a strange decision by WHO I can only assume it was to prevent the population panic buying face masks and leaving health workers without any like in Thailand? I agree with WHO on one thing disinfecting the Streets serves no purpose at all the VIRUS will die by itself within 3-6 hours. but maybe makes the soldiers feel useful. Disinfect the drains though they smell Bangkok should smell a bit better for a while. But that's just my opinion I'm not a scientist like yourself.

The WHO do things that suit them, a couple of examples : They don't encourage closing borders or limiting flights at all because it impedes the movement of the WHO and medical personnel who come first, no matter what. They don't encourage people to wear masks because they're in short supply and they want them for themselves and medics - so they lie about how well they work instead of keeping stockpiles.
