Coronavirus: WHO backflips on virus stance by condemning lockdowns

The World Health Organisation has backflipped on its original COVID-19 stance after calling for world leaders to stop locking down their countries and economies.

Dr. David Nabarro from the WHO appealed to world leaders yesterday, telling them to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method” of the coronavirus.

He also claimed that the only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty – with no mention of the potential lives saved.

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.

“We in the World Health Organisation do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Dr Nabarro told The Spectator.

“The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganise, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”

Dr Nabarro’s main criticism of lockdowns involved the global impact, explaining how poorer economies that had been indirectly affected.

“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays,” he said.

“Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world. … Look what’s happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”

Melbourne’s lockdown has been hailed as one of the strictest and longest in the world. In Spain’s lockdown in March, people weren’t allowed to leave the house unless it was to walk their pet. In China, authorities welded doors shut to stop people from leaving their homes. The WHO thinks these steps were largely unnecessary.

Dr Nabarro from the W.H.O is advocating for a new approach to containing the virus.

“And so, we really do appeal to all world leaders: stop using lockdown as your primary control method. Develop better systems for doing it. Work together and learn from each other.”

The Democrats are in a catch-22. They keep promoting the China Coronavirus (COVID) as the worst pandemic since the ‘Black Plague’ but then they want people to come out and vote. And their candidate is a 47-years old politician, Joe Biden, who’s caught up in corruption with China, where COVID originated.

The media over the past two days were promoting the story line that the China coronavirus was having its worst day ever. The number of new cases had reached all-time highs. Far left Vice.com reported:

On Monday morning the U.S. president kicked off his week by retweeting a post that “everyone is lying” about COVID-19, including the media, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and even America’s doctors.

The facts, however, suggest it is the Trump administration that is lying: The pandemic is accelerating worldwide, and especially in the United States.

In total, 37 U.S. states are seeing infections rising, a fact that helped contribute to what the World Health Organization called the worst day for new coronavirus infections ever.

The global health watchdog said 230,370 new cases were recorded in 24 hours — a record daily increase. South East Asia, Europe, and Africa accounted for some 70,000 cases, but the Americas continue to make up the largest proportion, with over 140,000 cases on Sunday alone.

The Hill reported on hospitalizations:

Multiple analysts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have also recently reported that there could be an increase in hospitalizations across the country over the next month.

This is a weird strategy for the Democrats – blame President Trump for the coronavirus, which originated in China, and keep telling Americans that COVID is very much alive.

On the one hand Democrats would love to attach this horrible virus to President Trump. They placed a hurricane on former Republican President George W. Bush, so they know the media will go along with whatever they say. (But the President has a good argument in that the original estimates were 2.2 million in deaths and there have only been a little over 219,000 deaths related to COVID to date.)

The Democrats also want to keep the virus alive so that they can argue for mail in ballots which are ripe for corruption (i.e. see what ballot harvesting did to Orange County in the 2018 election turning a number of red congressional seats to blue).

But on the downside, the Democrats’ and their media’s fear mongering have an effect on who will come out and vote Democrat. A recent poll shows Democrats are scared of their shadow when it comes to COVID despite the fact that the mortality rate on this virus is similar to that of the flu. Gallop reports:

Democrats are scared of their shadow when it comes to the China coronavirus. This is not good. The Democrats need their prior in-person votes along with their fraudulent mail-in votes to beat President Trump.

The Democrats are in a quandary. They have frozen their base with fear over the China coronavirus so much so that they won’t leave their residences but they need these same people to come out and vote with a large crowd of people. What a messed up party and strategy. They have also, prematurely, reduced the number of voting stations, ex. in California, due to Covid fears.

HARD TO SEE A HUGE DEMOCRAT TURNOUT WITH THESE GALLUP NUMBERS:

Bio engineered weapon unleashed by china, no one wants to admit it, we were not sure how to react and what to expect.The leading voices took no chances but the underlying background noise and despicable rat politicians the media and threatened or paid rat scientists took advantage of it out of the gate. Those who were in lockdown have the same defenses as when they went in so everyone now is wondering why the spike, because you were locked down no exposure

Yo. You go. Keep going

“..and their candidate is a 47 year old politician, Joe Biden.”

Ahem...Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is 74 y/o, not 47.

Following the science is like following a ping-pong ball and hoping you don’t end up on the floor.

More evidence that we have Darrell, his brother Darrell, and his other brother Darrell running the WHO and the CDC.

WHO like Dr. Fauci are obsolete.

[DoughtyOne]

I sure wish folks would follow the ex perts advice.

Lock down

No don’t lock down

Masks, don’t need ‘em...

Be sure and wear your mask

Don’t go to church or attend large gatherings
Oh, well rioting, looting, and other terrorist
activity are an exception

Trump rallies are mass spreader events.
“Peaceful” protests across the nation in large
crowds is not a threat the local community

The riots by ANTIFA and BLM are almost totally peaceful.
Meanwhile ANTIFA and BLM take credit for the mass
destruction and mayhem... it’s a protest don’t you
know...

But Joe has a plan. Wh don’t know what it is and he probably doesn’t know either; but he has a plan

Science is about being able to answer how you came to know something.

"We in the World Health Organisation do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Dr Nabarro told The Spectator.

Answer from the leftist politicans: "Dr. Nabarro, thank you for your opinion. Unfortunately you and your opinion have been cancelled."

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

>Science is about being able to answer how you came to know something.

I seem to remember that as the “New Math”.
It didn’t matter whether your answer was right, as long as you could show how you got it.

Best yet is that there is no penalty for being completely wrong and ruining millions of businesses and peoples lives. We will change our SWAG and continue to draw salaries (that you fools pay us) and lord over you.
