Shouldn't be left to the WHO...it should really be local emergency planners enforcing these international travel bans. Failure to do their jobs on a monumental scale.

So do you think he did a good job then.....

 

[canuckblue]

David Moyes would.

Had an email now telling all companies on site to dig out PPE to donate to the NHS. Should be a fair amount of masks & gloves in the stores considering where I work.

Fair enough. Now do you happen to agree that the WHO guy should be strung up by his privates.....

They've hardly showered themselves in glory.

For sure anywhere behind the red wall will be at the back of the queue.

Republican senator with a 12 point deficit in polling deciding to follow the president's lead and blame science and foreigners for her own shortcomings.

It's fine to say this and also acknowledge that Dr Tedros / WHO deserve to be investigated.

By your logic, it shouldn't be encumbent upon them should it, it's these pesky local planners who should bear the greatest castigation.

This is still up there with one of the most baffling things I've seen: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/h...w/news-story/35e843ef94779c5eb32ca6433ee6c8a9

I wholeheartedly agree

Well of course not. Like, in Mrs Rs last ward, the other patient was a 60 plus year old lady, in for some severe breathing/lung condition. Been smoking 100, ONE HUNDRED, ciggies a day. For years.

It was not her first visit neither. So say she got admitted, again, next week, gets Corona, what has contributed mainly to her passing?

That's like £50 a day.
Wow.

Don’t be like that, I did say sorry, but this WHO guy directly obfuscated regarding the actual situation either through incompetence or gain....

It's not that bizarre. Taiwan isn't a sovereign country and by the UN standards, which effectively the WHO is agency of, only sovereign states can 'enjoy' membership in the UN; you have to be internationally recognised as an independent country to get membership and as China doesn't recognise Taiwan, the UN doesn't, so neither does the WHO and the reporting on behalf of Taiwan was done by PRC.

You said sorry for what offence you thought you made. You didn't say it was a ludicrous statement and clearly ridiculous.

Or through constraints of the system he operates under.
