World Health Organization: ‘Fear And Panic’ Over Coronavirus ‘Dangerous’; ‘Calm Down’

World Health Organization director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday that the “stigma” surrounding coronavirus was “more dangerous” than the illness itself, and advised people to “calm down.”

“Stigma, to be honest, is more dangerous than the virus itself. Fear and panic are dangerous,” he said, as reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune. “It’s fine to be concerned and worried, but let’s calm down and do the right things.”

Officials were optimistic about the global effort to contain the spread of the illness:

Of the 62 countries affected by COVID-19, 55 have fewer than 100 cases. Only four countries have more than 1,000 cases, Tedros said.

WHO officials said it is rare to see a respiratory pathogen like this virus that can spread widely in the community but can also be contained. The flu cannot be as easily contained, officials said.

“That offers us a glimmer, a chink of life that this virus can be suppressed and contained,” Mike Ryan, who runs the agency’s emergencies program, said in a briefing Monday.

The number of deaths in the U.S. continues to climb, but remains in single digits, as officials grapple with the twin tasks of containing the virus and reassuring the public.

WHO has been a total fail.

This excellent web site dissects this organization and its failed response to the pandemic:

To the extent there is panic out there, the WHO’s malfeasance is partly responsible for it.

Actually... Pretty good advice. Oh... And wash your hands before you go sticking them in your eye or mouth.

Those mask should only be worn by sick people because apparently that’s their only real effectiveness. Wearing one won’t stop you from getting sick if you take your dirty hands and rub your eyes with them.

Just yesterday these clowns released a press statement that the death rate for coronavirus is higher than originally thought. They’re part of the cabal trying to scare people!

Is it safe?

Physician, heal thyself.

The Who and others are guilty of fanning these flames. Just yesterday one of their people loudly proclaimed that the Case Fatality Rate had risen to 3.4%...true dat, but they didn't say anything when the CFR was hovering around 1.5%. Nor did they suggest the rise in CFR may not be an indicator of rising lethality but if a shortage of testing kits that may slow the rise in case designations.

Then yesterday some stooge from the US government said coronavirus was an "outbreak" and may be a "pandemic." All well and good..,except said stooge wrote a piece in the New England Journal of Medecine that was published only last week that basically said this virus should be monitored but isn't a mass murderer.

It's just another tricky day for you.

Iranian VP has it. Elite iranians getting it is interesting.

Now if only the Supreme Leader got taken out

[BluegrassCardinal]

I changed dentists a couple years back. The one I have now is a young, 30 something lady. When she walked into my room I asked her, “is it safe?”

She had no clue what I was talking about. Young people, lol

Commie China's investment in WHO pays off again.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

It's not the absolute numbers that matter, it's the trend and the slope of the increase. AND at what point does it go exponential?

[Sacajaweau]

Here in the USA, it's totally political. You can hear the Dems cheering as the market dropped, as people died.

Their solution....a communist for President, and more money.
