WHO chief: Worst of coronavirus pandemic still ahead
The Hill ^ | 04 20 2020 | Rebecca Klar

The director of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Monday that the worst of the coronavirus pandemic is still ahead.

“Trust us. The worst is yet ahead of us,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a briefing.“Let’s prevent this tragedy. It’s a virus that many people still don’t understand.”

The pandemic globally had infected nearly 2.5 million people and killed more than 167,000, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Tedros's comments come as President Trump has ordered the halt of funding to WHO, citing missteps in how the organization dealt with the pandemic. The move is supported by some conservatives but was met with blowback from others, including business groups and Democrats.

Tedros urged global solidarity and national unity in order to continue fighting the virus and help limit future deaths.

The global community has to take the virus on as a “common enemy for humanity” in order to defy it, he said.

The article doesn't tell us where the worst will happen but it's a 'global' pandemic so you can be sure western nations are going to be asked to help the most affected nations.

China should be providing trillions of dollars of financial assistance to the US, no strings attached no repayment.

Same thing the Dem governors keep saying, “trust us, the worst it two weeks ahead.” Two weeks later, uh, “trust us, the worst is just two weeks ahead.”

We know, and it's not the virus, it's the reaction to it.

“Trust us.”

...said the same pukes who in January assured the world COVID-19 wasn’t communicable between humans.

FU, Tedros.

Given the ineptitude and outright Chicom butt-sucking on the part of WHO's leadership, I have no doubt that they will mismanage thousands more people into their graves.

Thank God we have a president who stands up for us.

That's also what they keep saying about Man Made Global Warming. "No turning back! This is IT! Must pass! Worst Hurricane Season ever looming!"
