U.N. says world losing coronavirus fight; cases top 500,000

The United Nations warned the world is losing its battle to the coronavirus as the number of infections exponentially increases.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the leaders of the Group of 20 during a teleconference summit on Thursday that the world is at war with a virus and losing, urging them to come up with "a war-time plan to fight it."

"It took the world three months to reach 100,000 confirmed cases of the infection. The next 100,000 happened in just 12 days. The third took four days. The fourth, just one and a half -- This is exponential growth, and only the tip of the iceberg," he said.

Guterres called for solidarity, a global cease-fire and a coming together of developed and developing countries to fight the virus through suppression while working together to minimize its social and economic impact and to create a better world once the pandemic is over.

"We must work together now to set the stage for a recovery that builds a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable economy," he said.

We have a vaccine for the generic flu. Comparing the mortality rate between the flu and this virus is apples to oranges. The US had 60 million infected and 12,000 deaths with the H1N1 virus. That might be a more valid comparison.

We really need more data to determine the true mortality rate of the Wuhan virus. When CDC calculates the mortality rate for the generic flu as .1%, it includes an estimate for the number of cases that are asymtomatic and unreported. They estimate that at 38 million for this season.

The “modern flu” has a vaccine administered on an annual basis to prevent our hospitals from being overrun. Next year, we will have a vaccine for Wuhan virus as well a some therapeutics to combat it.

"THIS WAS PLANNED?"

It's looking more and more like that every day.

“”Does this sound like a manufactured crisis to get the their desired result?”

The conspiracy folks said 9-11 was planned after the airplanes smacked into buildings in NYC. I thought that was pure fantasy and believed none of it.

The response was to invade Iraq to go after imaginary WMD’s. And as though the Afghan Air Force were the ones that few the 9-11 attacking aircraft, we invaded Afghanistan too. What made this such a joke was the guy that supposedly planned all this, Bin Laden, was killed in Pakistan. Why did we not invade Pakistan to get him?

Now look at what an entire mess all the ME wars turned out to be. Refugees flooding European borders and the same crowd and wants all the wars is the same crowd that says we should no longer have borders.

My point is, the muzzie terrorists that flew the planes the slammed into the WTC were just useful idiots. They were duped into thinking they were doing it for alah. When in fact higher authorities were pulling their strings.

Every year, the world loses the “flu battle,” meaning a normal 300,000 - 600,000 people die FROM THE FLU. The FLU has vaccines and treatments and we lose that.

Why aren’t we more uptight about the flu?

>>> What is the logical next step then?

My question was meant for people in the rest of the world. It is not ‘the next logical step for THEM, the UN’.

Strangely enough the virus has hit the richer countries more. Even in China it hit the middle income Hubei province more than the richer areas.

Seeing as how the virus seems to thrive in densely-populated areas, I don’t think we’ll see a ton of cases in Chad.

Righto! Some places are already sparsely populated. I imagine they will continue to be so when Africa is “re-colonized” next century.

500,000? That’s it?

The flu has infected an “estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.”

This leaves over 7 billion people to donate tax money to the UN.

I don’t mean to sound like a SJW, but frankly the MSM didn’t get overly-hysterical about Coronavirus until it attacked Manhattan. If this was ravaging, say, Billings they wouldn’t care. Btw, there are 14 cases as of now in Yellowstone County, MT.

IMO this whole thing was deliberate, the globalists had lost and they knew it. This is their last Hail Mary. It’s the “nuclear option” - destroy it all and then try to take control of what remains, build from there.

The timing is just too coincidental. PDJT success, election year, Brexit, Hong Kong, French riots, China asserting global influence, etc.. They cannot have another 4 years of PDJT.

Even if the virus wasn’t lab made - they only needed something new and then let the W.H.O. and leftist media do their bidding.

Not to mention their “pandemic exercise” simulation, put on last year by none other than renowned globalist, Bill Gates, that (ironically) everything seems to be mirroring, exactly.

Too coincidental, indeed.

Yep. A capitalist economy is sustainable. A Socialist one is not.

“Inclusive and equitable”? In the sense of including those that don’t participate, and equitable in result with them as well? “Inclusive” isn’t beneficent, but coercive, and is only inclusive until they get in a position to exclude others.
