World must be better prepared for next pandemic, says WHO boss

[from the home of CC]

as demonstrated in the world in the last 6 months with this me, me, me mentality we will not survive especially if it's the young that start to die like with measles prior to the vaccine..

[DrTuner]

Will be much more prepared if WHO is dismantled and replaced by a non-CCP group.

[tifino]

be prepared by assuming a new tune to follow...

 - get rid of The WHO, and Install The Pretenders

[vandeventer]

WHO worried about covid-20. Where were you when covid-19 hit the world? China thinks they can get away with this Chinese virus and do it again. I am sure everyone in China will pay the price if it does so all you good Hong Kong people please get out while you can,and don't look back.

Doesnanyone reading this have any brain cells firing? Tedros is a card carrying Communist , over saw 3 cholera epidemics that didn't go well, best friend of Robert Mugabe of Ethiopia who slaughtered half of his people and a <deleted> kissing buddy of Xi in china!!! And he is head of the W.H.O. ???????? go figure. he needs a blanket party big time.

He was elected as DG of WHO by the same election process of previous 6 predecessors. If you want to know, the process involved nomination by Member States, a live forum for candidate to present their vision, WHO Executive Board drew up a short list of 5 candidates, interviews and final 3 selected to go forward to the World Health Assembly for election. Seem he got his position in a bona fide election democratic process.

people,too much pollution,too much greed.

guess by now Trump realizes that he should have taken that virus more serious. It won't go away by itself and lots of people notice the rising number of dead people.

OMG! Zombie Apocalypse! 

Oh wait, I get it. Dead people are having more offspring. Talk about somebody rolling over in their grave. I think there's a lot more than rolling going on in those graves. ????

Teddies has zero credibility. Why anyone would take notice of anything he says these days...

will help reduce the world population just as wars and Spanish Flu and Bubonic Plague have done in the past.

Not doing a very good job of that so far, having accounted for 1 out of every 10,000 people on the planet, and with almost all of the casualties being those long past breeding age.

So, history taught you that, huh? Did you fail the class?

[teacherclaire]

More than 27.19 million people have been reported to be infected by the novel coronavirus globally and 888,326 have died, according to a Reuters tally, since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019.

 

 

Another reliable source: 1st known case of coronavirus traced back to November in China

When it's about a serious disease, why do people not tell the truth?

Nope, he failed to find the classroom and went to the wrong lesson.

Will a CPAP machine work

[chilli42]

Agree!  Start by firing Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and then clear out his political appointee administration.

I'm not into conspiracy theories but there was more than a little controversy when he was appointed.

 

From reading this it suggests that it may have been more to do with him being the first ever Head of WHO to be appointed from Africa, rather than the best person for the job. 

 

Zero transparency in the funding of his lobbying for the job despite him being the only candidate out of 3 who appointed a high profile Media Firm who deal in high-stakes public strategy and have 18 offices worldwide. "Mecury Public Affairs"

 

Good explanation on how he got the position here and did not disclose how much or where all the money came from while the other two candidates in the running did state where their funds came from.

If you think being appointed to the head of any organization like this has anything to do with a fair and democratic process where the best of the best emerges you are either naive or have no concepts of politics in these kinds of organizations.

Interesting article. However, it doesn't particularly support your claim about who financed his campaign.

Apart from, the EU (France Spain, Germany), Australia, New Zealand, Canada, China, Vietnam.

Did I miss any of the big socialist states?

 

Would also point out the UK and the USA seem to have a lot of welfare to spread around supporting single moms, and denying their men the chances of having a traditional family. I would tend to class any country supporting and encouraging single moms to be socialist states.

 

I would assume the WHO are just insisting all governments become more controlling and oppressive, as IMHO the WHO seems to be mainly an organisation designed to spread socialism. 

Well if you're Attila the Hun everyone is to your left. First off I was referring to democracies. Secondly in context of their own countries. Morrison, Macron and Merkel are right of centre in their own country's political spectrum. That leaves Canada and more recently Mex, N.Z. and Spain ctr left governments. 

 

Personally, I have never voted for the present Trudeau or his dad. Far too right for me. In Canada have a social democrat party, NDP, who consistently gets my vote.

I'd be more happy if the WHO were told by all countries to decide where the virus came from, what country is responsible for it and exactly how much that country should pay in reparations to the world for destroying and killing everyone by hiding the disease.

 

And if they wont commit to anything or anyone, then they are not fit for purpose and should disbanded

The WHO is not a watchdog. It's not part of its status and missions as voted by member-states. If member-states want to change its purpose, they have to vote, and likely increase its budget.

BTW, There's no "they". The WHO is composed of its members.

Yes.The idea that the WHO is some vast supra-governmental organisation dictating to hapless member states on behalf of the CCP seems to be quite prevalent amongst the usual suspects..but,mind you,they would probably level the same charge against the Emperor penguins of Adelaide Island if their plans for world domination were exposed on YouTube.

I never actually pointed out who I suspect the other donors were apart from the stated African countries as I have no idea, may be you're referring to a separate post?
