Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostNovember, December, January, how many months is that, mr nitpick and this assumes that the CCP is telling the truth and didn’t hear about it in early November or even late October as some suggest. Since they spent time lying, covering it up, and destroying evidence, we may never know how early, but either way, they knew by mid Jan that Covid-19 was spreading person to person. They just lied about it.
Reports from China’s own sources indicate that people begin showing up in hospitals, for Covid-19 infections, in mid November. Since symptoms can start as early as three days or late as two weeks, it shouldn’t have taken too long to figure out person to person spreading was happening as soon as hospital staff and family/friends of the infected started showing signs of infection. Yet, the CCP lied, covered it up, and destroyed evidence. That’s not simple mistakes, that malice.
The WHO reported an incorrect fact, in mid January, correct? How imbedded is the WHO, with China? Did they independently confirm this? Is it true that the head of the WHO, owes his position thanks to the support of China? How is it slander, if it’s true? Billions of people were purposely mislead by the Chinese and the WHO was at the very least, an unwitting partner in this deception. Is that not true either?
It was mid November and it didn’t take long to figure out this was a new disease and it likely didn’t take long for the hospital staff to start becoming sick too. Either the WHO was an unwitting partner in selling this deception or they helped. Either way, the answer isn’t good.

Originally posted by JimL View PostStop beating a dead horse, lilpix. Everyone knows China covered up, just like Mexico covered up the swine flu and Russia covered up Chernoble. China's cover-up has nothing to do with Trumps slow response once the cover-up was uncovered. The U.S didn't begin testing until six weeks after S. Korea did. The U.S. still doesn't have enough PPE or testing to go around and that is putting hospital staff at risk. Is that what you call American exceptionalism?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

ETA: Never mind. I just realized that you phrased the claim so vaguely you can essentially adjust it to mean anything. Further discussion is pointless. Consider my request withdrawn.Last edited by carpedm9587; 03-31-2020, 09:54 PM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Well - credit where credit is due. If he follows through, this is a good call by Mr. Trump, IMO. Nine cruise ships with 8,000 collective passengers are stuck at sea because no port will take them. They are effectively petri dishes for the incubation of this virus, and not letting people off and finding ways to socially distance them is effectively condemning some percentage of them to death. The docking and unloading needs to be done with due care so as not to further spread the virus within the U.S., but I think it's the right call.
The U.S. used to be a safe haven for those in distress. It is good to see that spirit is not completely dead.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Title: Did WHO's China ties slow decision to declare emergency?
Link: https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Co...lare-emergency
"China and the WHO have extremely close ties," a diplomatic source in Beijing said.
China is the world's second-largest financial contributor to the U.N. The WHO's
previous director-general, Margaret Chan, was nominated to the post by the
Chinese government after spearheading Hong Kong's response to SARS.
Using its diplomatic weight, China has blocked Taiwan's attendance at the WHO's
annual health assembly since 2017, the year after China skeptic Tsai Ing-wen
became the island's president.
China also provides significant aid to Ethiopia, the home country of current WHO
chief Tedros. And Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, is a longtime WHO goodwill ambassador
for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
