ROME — Expressing alarm both about mounting infections and slow government responses, the World Health Organization declared Wednesday that the global coronavirus crisis is now a pandemic but also said it's not too late for countries to act.
By reversing course and using the charged word “pandemic” that it had previously shied away from, the U.N. health agency appeared to want to shock lethargic countries into pulling out all the stops.

If you can understand the terminology, this is possibly good news. I took a malaria drug for my restless legs years ago and my hearing diminished. After I got off the drug, it came back. I think zinc tastes bad.
This would not be happening with a Rat president. Same circumstances, same death rate, this would not be in the news like this. Yes, there is a worldwide conspiracy afoot.
Who did called this a pandemic?
WHO.
That’s what I asked, who did?
WHO.
I don’t know but he is on third.

Such great news and so well informed!!!
Can you explain what you could purposefully do to get the virus without leaving the state you are in?
I can’t even visit people in the hospital right now in Utah as they have already put in restrictions. I don’t have access to the few people in Utah that have tested positive. I have even eaten at Chinese restaurants.
