Ignoring the obvious dig at Trump near the end, this article provides another perspective into the Coronavirus pandemic.

There are many, many embedded hyperlinks in the original post that I am too lazy to recreate here. I suggest you go to the original post to visit them if you are interested.

The WHO pimping and Trump bashing really undermines the credibility of the writer.

Trust but verify. ;-)

Nonsense. This is Chinese originated propaganda. The article accepts the data being released by China is accurate and complete. China has still not allowed foreign, non vested experts into China to study what is happening first hand. They are still hiding facts.

WHO is not only corrupt, but one of the biggest likely corrupters at the moment is the Chicom government.

Cutting fifty percent or so from any government or quasi government organization is a good thing. Their payrolls are padded with do-nothing cronies on lavish expense accounts and their activity schedules are full of blatant political activity. Any actual good they do can still be accomplished with half their current budget, if they go to work.

If you watched Tucker last night you’ll give no credibility to anything Tedros says or anything coming from WHO.

The comments at Watts Up With That? are also dismissive of the WHO and this story.

The WHO has been virtually a mouthpiece for the CCP.

And China's officially reported numbers are crap.

You want the best measure of what’s going on in China?

Watch what’s shipping out of China.

Seeing social media indications that the old anti-malaria drug chloroquine (Aralen) may be effective against Covid-19.

Not proven. But studies of the cheap, well studied, and readily available compound are under way in China, with patients getting 400 milligrams a day for five days.

That is good news, and not just for China. With no preparation and relatively primitive public health networks (compared to those of developed nations), the epidemic stabilized in roughly four weeks – probably due to China’s fast and large quarantines. That is good news, because other nations are relying on quarantines to contain the infection.

...

The rapid sequencing of the viral genome, and development of a lab test by the USA was a big factor in measures to fight the spread of the virus.

The fatality rate in the developed nations will certainly be lower than that in China outside Wuhan (medical facilities in Wuhan are overwhelmed), although the estimate of a 0.7% fatality rate might be wrong. Original estimates were over 2% (e.g., here). If proven correct, this is great news.

...

You mean the simple math calculations of FR’s disease experts aren’t correct?
