I read your post in the other thread. Your conclusions are built on a tissue of misinformation, rampant speculation, and some outright fabrication. It's not worth my time to pursue further. Thanks for the response.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. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Again you need to back up your bogus accusations concerning WHO.Last edited by shunyadragon; 03-31-2020, 07:59 PM.

Stop 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?

China lying?
The WHO repeating those lies?
The Chinese engaging in cover ups?
The Chinese destroying lab samples?
Are any of those facts, false?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

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 Consider my request withdrawn.Last edited by carpedm9587; 03-31-2020, 09:54 PM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to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.
