WHO warns Afghanistan's collapse could worsen coronavirus crisis

The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday that the collapse of Afghanistan’s government could worsen the COVID-19 crisis as people are displaced amid the Taliban’s takeover.

The chaos in Afghanistan following the U.S. withdrawal of troops has sparked fear among diplomats and citizens seeking to flee the country, making coronavirus precautions difficult to maintain, WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said during a United Nations briefing.

“Obviously, when we have situations with people on the move, these individual and collective measures are difficult to put in place and thus increases the risk of COVID-19 but other infectious diseases as well,” Jasarevic said.

Pretty soon 40% of the people crossing the Southern border illegally and being sent all over the country may have coronavirus.

ROTFLMAO! The WHO has shown itself to be as useful as teats on a bull in the last two years. Someone there must have a good sense of humor to put out this statement now.

Not possible. Refugees and other immigrants, Black Lives Matter protests and Democratic birthday parties never contribute to the spread of Covid.

The Babylon Bee suggested hanging a ‘Happy Birthday Obama’ banner as a means of stopping any Covid spread at the Sturgis rally. Sounds like a plan for all border crossing and points of entry to the U.S.

The WHO is bought and paid for by Communist China.

So what’s the rationale behind this latest WHO statement? It’s just another way for them to deflect attention away from China.

Citizen: It looks like Covid might have originated in a Chinese lab after all.
WHO: Hey, look here! Developments in Afghanistan might cause another major virus outbreak!

Current CDC warning re possible Covid with Americans/??? fleeing Afghanistan and coming to America.

Requirement for Proof of Negative COVID-19 Test or Recovery or full Vaccination forms for COVID-19 for All Air Passengers Arriving in the United States

If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get tested no more than 3 days before you travel by air into the United States (US) and show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight, or be prepared to show documentation of recovery (proof of a recent positive viral test and a letter from your healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

Level 3: High Level of COVID-19 in Afghanistan
Key Information for Travelers to Afghanistan

* Make sure you are fully vaccinated before traveling to Afghanistan.
* Unvaccinated travelers should avoid nonessential travel to Afghanistan.
* Because of the current situation in Afghanistan, all travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/covid-3/coronavirus-afghanistan

You must be wearing at least one N95 mask at all times while on the plane and while deplaning in Amerika and walking in the airport.

Also, any US citizen leaving Afghanistan will have to test negative for COVID before reentering the US.

Unless of course you walk in via the southern border. Then none of the above will apply!

CDC welcomes you back to Amerika.

PS: Those that resist vaccines and question stolen elections will be classified as terrorists by Homeland Security! DHS/FBI/CIA/DOD/CDC welcomes you back to AmeriKa!

Afghanis face a 14-step U.S. visa process as the Taliban stream into Kabul.
Not, If they appear as an illegal at the USA southern border?

If so, “No Waiting! Walk on in, go on welfare, get free health care, rent and vote in the next elections!”

Why can’t the WHO come up with solutions pertaining to the present problems?

What precautions does one take to avoid Rape, Beheading, Being Shot??

Where did the Afghan refugees on this plane land? Who are they? For all we know, they could be Taliban.

800,000 Afghan refugees???? INTO the USA? Along with the 2 MILLION invaders from south of our border.

HOW MANY diseases WE eradicated 50-60-70 years ago are coming into this country with them??????

DO we even have vaccines for smallpox? Polio? TB?

This is deliberate against America & it’s CITIZENS.
