- ISL 7y agoWhat is the difference between Figures 2 and 3 (besides n)?
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 7y agoFig 2 shows onset of symptoms. Fig 3 shows date that they were confirmed to have Covid-19.

- hurricanetc 7y agoThe WHO has come across as pretty incompetent in my opinion. We could have stopped this disease from spreading outside of China but the WHO consistently downplayed the severity and claimed travel bans were overkill and would be too damaging economically. Now they’re saying it’s likely too late to contain the virus. Well I wonder what will be more damaging to the economy? The proposed travel bans or the catastrophic effects of a worldwide pandemic? How many people will die in underdeveloped countries because the WHO didn’t act aggressively enough when they had a chance? If this hits Africa 10 million could die. Thanks WHO
- gnud 7y agoDo you remember the uproar and all the anti-vaccine sentiment after WHO was seen to "cry wolf" during the last H1N1 outbreak in 2014 or so? That's probably the reason they were more careful this time. It's hard to know early on exactly how a disease will spread, and how dangerous it will turn out to be.
- raducu 7y agoThen let's just fuck WHO, we can play tit for tat just as easily.
- hurricanetc 7y agoIf the WHO is scared to be aggressive in their recommendations because of blowback six years ago then they are even more incompetent than I thought. It’s not as if outbreaks like this happen often. It would be difficult for the WHO to be labeled as overreacting when they only get an opportunity to react once or twice a decade. The fact that it’s hard to know how dangerous a disease will be is a reason to be extra careful, not the other way around. Not knowing how dangerous something is doesn’t mean we should blunder forward and hope for the best.
- glitchdigger 7y agoAnyone that trusts the WHO is a plank anyway. These weirdo globalist fuckers are probably connected to those responsible for its deployment. Don’t trust the WHO or the UN for a second.
- huebomont 7y agoThis is some real tinfoil hat shit
- skinnymuch 7y agoI can see an argument for the WHO not being very good. But the end of your response to them being the ones also creating and pushing the virus in the first place...come on

- koheripbal 7y agoAny organization that claims travel restrictions don't slow virus spreads are beyond incompetent. Moreover, their blind acceptance of official Chinese data is so naive, it is ludicrous.
- tree3 7y agoReminder that China has not allowed WHO to observe the outbreak closely. WHO is simply repeating China's likely fake numbers.
