Just learned that the head of WHO is not a medical doctor but a bureaucrat and a good friend of China. WHO doesn't provide China's information to the US because they work for the UN. Those who refer to WHO as the authority are looking to the wrong people. Dr.Michael Pillsbury on Lou Dobbs.

Oh, yeah.... that organization is filthy.... and the corruptocrat on top has a long legacy of screwing up the response to countless outbreaks across the world, most notably in Africa.... there are constantly complaints being filed against the executive cadre for misuse of funds and wildly inappropriate spending on personal travel and entertainment....

Harvard Study Finds COVID-19 Fatality Rate Far Lower Than World Health Org Suggests

Iran And Italy Are Paying A Hefty Price For Close Ties With Communist China

Iran and Italy's economies are worsening, and their people are suffering most in this Wuhan virus outbreak — all because of their leaders’ short-sighted and foolish decisions.

https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/17/ira...ommunist-china/

The coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, has now swept through 126 countries, infected close to 170,000 people worldwide, and is responsible for more than 6,400 deaths as of March 15. China is leading the world in the number of confirmed cases and deaths. What many people find shocking is that Italy and Iran are the second- and third-hardest hit nations in this outbreak.

By any common-sense measure, both countries should have much lower numbers of confirmed cases and deaths because they are geographically far from the epicenter of the outbreak. The reason these two countries are suffering the most outside China is mainly due to their close ties with Beijing, primarily through the “One Belt and One Road” (OBOR) initiative.

OBOR is Beijing’s foreign policy play disguised as infrastructure investment. Here’s how it works: China and country X agree to do an infrastructure project in country X. Country X has to borrow from a Chinese bank to finance the project. A contract is always awarded to Chinese companies, which then bring supplies and Chinese employees to country X to build the project. Clearly, the country that benefits most from this initiative is China.

The OBOR provides new markets and consistent demand for China’s goods and services, creates employment opportunities for Chinese workers, and gives China access to strategically important locations and natural resources. Beijing’s real objective is to leverage its newly gained financial power to greatly expand its geopolitical influence as well as its economic and military footing from Asia to Europe and Africa.

While this initiative has worked out well for China’s strategic interests, it hasn’t done the same for participating countries. At least eight countries that signed on the OBOR initiative are so indebted to the Chinese that they had to hand over their strategic assets to China to offset their debt. Despite these worrisome precedents, leaders in both Italy and Iran eagerly signed up to OBOR in 2019, hoping the red capital from Communist China would rescue their nations from economic woes. Now they are paying a dear price for it...

Coronavirus has 'stable genome,' study suggests, so vaccine could help 'over many years'

@Sanguine

@BenKTallmadge
Hey, @SenFeinstein , your hubby Dick’s business partner, China’s Greenland Group had been hoarding medical supplies worldwide for China while the CCP & WHO were lying to the world that the Wuhan virus couldn’t be transmitted human to human.

H/t @r1viera

Jan 31, 2020, @WHO declared Wuhan Virus a global health emergency.

After China had been hoarding medical supplies all over the world, left all countries, instead of China, unprotected.

@DrTedros & XinJinLaden’s CCP need to be investigated for crimes against human! 🤬

Alert! Alert! Alert!

Yesterday I posted here and elsewhere about current conditions at my daughter's workplace. Today a long time physician friend of mine responded on FB as follows:

"Hospitals are on lockdown. No elective cases and trying to keep patients out at all costs. Why you say? Well, the fact is that when the first COVID 19 patients show up the hospital ventilation systems are likely to be contaminated."

Jesus H Christ! I wonder if that might have anything at all to do with what we are seeing all over the place now? Is it even possible for the AC systems in large buildings to pick up and distribute a virus?

I'm not an HVAC Engineer but I personally think it is possible and likely happening. Especially in places like Iran, Italy, UK, and New York. Anyone remember Legionnaire's disease?

That was how Legionnaires disease started. It makes sense.

A quick search about hospital venilations brought this up:

Healthcare facilities that may not be properly ventilated, designed or controlled can lead to the spread of airborne pathogens throughout the facility. Hospital patients who have compromised immune systems and are more susceptible to infection will likely be infected and can spread pathogens to the rest of the hospital.

THIS is what I am talking about! Think Iran, UK, Italy, China, Older buildings in New York, and a HOST of other places.
