World leaders must “behave” if they want to avoid a wave of new fatalities related to the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization’s top official said in response to President Trump’s criticism of his performance.
“We will have many body bags in front of us if we don't behave,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters Wednesday when asked to address Trump's specific criticisms of the WHO. “When there are cracks at national level and global level, that’s when the virus succeeds. For God's sake, we have lost more than 60,000 citizens of the world.”
WHO officials have taken criticism, especially from American leaders, for giving credence to false reports about the novel coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak. Those rebukes culminated in Trump threatening to freeze U.S. aid to the international organization, which he described as “China-centric,” but Tedros dismissed that criticism.
“I know I didn't address your question specifically,” he said, noting that a reporter had asked for responses to the president’s particular criticisms. “I don't think that's necessary. We shouldn't waste time pointing fingers. We need time to unite.”
Senate Republicans have taken aim at the WHO in recent days, echoing Trump's criticisms and pledging to withhold American funding regardless of the president's eventual decision regarding an aid freeze.
“The Chinese Communist Party used the WHO to mislead the world,” Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, said Tuesday. “The organization’s leadership is either complicit or dangerously incompetent.”
Tedros, addressing U.S.-China tensions, recalled that the former Soviet Union and the United States coordinated against smallpox at the height of the Cold War.

‘Behave’ = GIMME MONEY!!!
So, do we up the ante and send them an invoice on top of cutting their funding? WFM! Behave my rosy red. Hey who-—fah Q
This Chinese communist puppet has a lot of nerve. Now he is threatening people’s lives.
Time to $hit can the. W.H.O.
Ditto the U.N.
Dickweed.
Sounds like a threat.
Did he say it like Austin Powers?
chi-com scumbag feeling the heat.
WHO sounds like a protection racket. Youse guys oughta behave unless you want to see a whole lot more virus. You know what I’m saying?
My first thought exactly.
Almost as if the POS has an Ampulet or 2 in a special hardcase in the pocket.
That about covers it, Marco.
“WHO’s leadership is either complicit or dangerously incompetent.”
I’ll go with BOTH OF THE ABOVE, Jim.
It’s called “Mortality Displacement”. I have also seen it called ‘Harvesting’
Mortality displacement denotes a temporary increase in the mortality rate (number of deaths) in a given population, also known as excess mortality or excess mortality rate. It is usually attributable to environmental phenomena such as heat waves, cold spells, epidemics and pandemics, especially influenza pandemics, famine or war.
During heat waves, for instance, there are often additional deaths observed in the population, affecting especially older adults and those who are sick. After some periods with excess mortality, however, there has also been observed a decrease in overall mortality during the subsequent weeks. Such short-term forward shift in mortality rate is also referred to as harvesting effect. The subsequent, compensatory reduction in mortality suggests that the heat wave had affected especially those whose health is already so compromised that they "would have died in the short term anyway".
In other words – Most of these 60,000 people would have died in a relatively short time anyway.
The corrupt head hog of the WHO has now exalted himself as the key to ridding the world of the virus. Get rid of him, he says, and mass death will follow.
Yes. The total number of people who die in 2020 will be the interesting thing. My guess is that if we compare that with 2019, 2018, and 2017, this virus won’t even be a blip.
Do these third world depots think the USA must fund them, though they are China propagandists? Wrong. We should not be funding our enemies.
More like one of the Whirled Hell Organizations regularly-issued commands which, I'm confident, does not sit well with Trump.
Amen.....
Like the globalist scum will tell the virus to attack all us uber conservatives that still cherish our freedom above kneeling.
So far it seems the stupid and less informed are hardest hit. Just like they planned it?
