Yes but my point was more about how they will attempt to frame the narrative to obviously suit their own particular agendas and who is likely to be succesful. The WHOs hands are tied, they are at the whim of their greatest financial contributors and its the very same contributors in USA China UK etc who were the ones insisting this was just another common cold despite the writing being on the wall
The WHO will be the sacrificial lambs no doubt, less resources and less financing sure to follow, all of which just means the next global pandemic will have even graver consequences for us
No, the WHO leadership should be replaced. It was never a good idea to appoint a communist who admired Mugabe as itâs leader. If you are going to fund something, it should be held accountable.
The bottom line is that the âblame the WHO narrativeâ is just hilarious buck passing from those who cant accept personal responsibility for their own uselessness.
Responding to a fear over a ânarrativeâ does not make you a friend of facts.
In actual fact, the upshot of this pandemic will likely be a far more coordinated domestic and global response to these things. Forget about Trump, thatâs short sightedness, look at the reaction of other Asian countries to this pandemic. They were on the ball. Individuals and the countries engaged in coordinated activities. The WHO will have questions to answer over this. This sort of thing, and being overly sensitive to China wanting their feelings protected, wonât fly much longer;
By the way, nobody knew outside of China and Taiwan this was a serious danger in early January. Why the fuck would the WHO still be saying it couldnât be transmitted human to human in mid January, unless they are total liars? They said it because they believed the CCP liars.
As far as the outside world, the firsts steps were taken at the end of January by Asian countries, the US was the first western country to impose travel restrictions February 3rd. Unless the west took the same actions as Taiwan and Singapore, this was always going to play out the way it played out up to now.
And where did I say Trump didnât deserve criticism?
I have said over and over how he was a shambles over this.
Funny that your language immediately becomes oh so assertive and venomous when you get to go on the attack over him. You know itâs perfectly possible to say the WHO have some explaining to do over this global pandemic and for US citizens and residents (and hint, youâre not one) to criticise his domestic response. You trying to âhold the narrativeâ on an Irish forum is gas.
Lets all just remember though in your attempted revisionism over this, that you were the most Trump of all in your first couple of responses.
Australia have got on top of their testing (think theyâre world leaders) but surely climate has played some role there. The links with China youâd have thought would have brought a greater amount of the virus to Australia earlier.
Yeah with approx 25% of the population.
Cities like Sydney and Melbourne must be doing particularly well.
I cant fathom how from places like Redfern/Waterloo all the way west are adhering to social distancing etc.
