Dr. Aylward, seen here giving a press conference at the WHO headquarters in Geneva on Feb. 25, 2020, joined the organization in 1992 and has spent his career working on infectious diseases, polio eradication and preparedness.Global markets are in a panic. Japan has shut down schools. Australia has warned of a pandemic. Italy has locked down towns. South Korea has seen a frightening surge in the number of people sickened by the fast-spreading coronavirus.
COVID-19 spreads so rapidly that one Harvard researcher has warned that 40 to 70 per cent of the world’s adults will be infected. Its deadliness has raised frightening comparisons with the Spanish flu. He spoke to The Globe and Mail from Geneva, after his return this week from China, whose unprecedented response he has praised publicly. Chinese authorities have shut down most of Hubei and have imposed severe restrictions on movements and daily life in cities and villages across the country.
“Your success hinges on your population,” he said. “Your population has got to have a high index of suspicion. They have to understand what this disease is – how it manifests. And they have to know how to get tested if they think they have it.” “Canada has it right in terms of: You have to go really fast – find these cases, shut down these transmission channels.”
I think there is a Canadian virus going around for the elite and politicians! It’s called LSC. (let’s screw Canadians)
If flights from the hot zones were banned and Canadian WHO representatives took this more serious and put the health of Canadians first then we would be OK. We should not allow persons entry from the hot zones unless they immediately Quarantined then tested weekly.
This stupid said if he was affected by the virus, he would go to China to get cured.
