WHO: 10% of world’s people may have been infected with virus

GENEVA (AP) — The head of emergencies at the World Health Organization said Monday the agency’s “best estimates” indicate roughly 1 in 10 people worldwide may have been infected by the coronavirus — more than 20 times the number of confirmed cases — and warned of a difficult period ahead.

Dr. Michael Ryan, speaking to a special session of the WHO’s 34-member executive board focusing on COVID-19, said the figures vary from urban to rural areas, and between different groups, but that ultimately it means “the vast majority of the world remains at risk.” He said the pandemic would continue to evolve, but that tools exist to suppress transmission and save lives.

“Many deaths have been averted and many more lives can be protected,” Ryan said. He was flanked by his boss, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who minutes earlier led a moment of silence to honor victims, as well as a round of applause for the health workers who have strived to save them.

10% is progress.

Oddly the WHO is harping on contact tracing with 760 million already infected, according to their own estimates.

The opportunity to stop this virus ended in January.

It’s way more than that.

Most countries on this planet aren’t even bothering to test. If we did ever get accurate numbers the death rate would have four zeros to the right of the decimal.

In other news, check out this video by a very well spoken German lawyer, also licensed in America discussing the Covid19 Scamdemic in Germany. Excellent analysis and background for seeing this as the Epic Crime Against Humanity by Governments around the World - all in the Name of the New World Order.

I love the WHO (SARC) 10% may be infected.................or they may not. The one big take away about the WHO in this time is that they don't know shit from Shinola and change positions faster than a guy with hemorrhoids sitting on cold concrete.

I wonder if the shifting they do is from having to decide whether to do what Gates says or China

I’ll bet the infection rate is far higher in the more developed regions of the world than in other regions.

MSM have been ignoring this story. Alex Berenson, former NYT reporter, has been all over it, has mentioned in on Fox, including Tucker today, a number of times:

Tweet: Alex Berenson
Umm what? The @who now estimates that 750,000,000 people have gotten the ro? Which, at 1 million death, would put the death rate at 1 in 750 (even with overcounting, etc) - or 0.13%. That’s the lowest estimate I’ve ever seen. Say it with me: IT’S THE FLU.

***Hey @drmikeryan @who - do you stand by that estimate of 750 million infected with #SARSCoV2 - and thus a death rate (IFR) of 0.13%? Or do we have another “clarification” coming?

Berenson’s reply to an anti-Trump tweet:

5 Oct: Tweet: Alex Berenson, ex-NYT
Die? He looks about ready to play the back nine.
It’s the flu, okay? ***That’s what the @who numbers say - 0.13% IFR if Dr. Ryan’s estimate of 750 million infected is right. We’ve blown up the world and screwed over our kids for the flu. And it’s time we stopped.

3 Oct: Irish Times: Covid-19: World in ‘for a hell of a ride’ in coming months, ***Dr Mike Ryan (Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme) says
WHO official estimates that 750m people globally have likely had coronavirus to date
by Ronan McGreevy
He estimated 10 per cent as “our best guess” in relation to the global rate of infection to date and those who have antibodies for the virus.

“The problem is there is more than six billion left. Therein lies our problem,” he told webinar hosted by the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) entitled Learning from Pandemics: a Century of Experience...

However, he criticised the lack of a global response to plans to raise some €25.6 billion (US$32 billion) for the Covid-19 accelerator programme to produce diagnostic tools and vaccines when they are available to deal with the virus. Just €3.24 billion has been raised to date...

Dr Ryan said he was “somewhat cynical or at least depressed at the prospect of whether the world will wake up and we will actually see that epidemics are yet another consequence of our poor planetary and ecosystem management...
“We have put almost no defence up against the Earth-killing things that are there such as climate change and infectious diseases.”
