COVID-19 ‘not beyond control,' Canadian WHO expert Bruce Aylward says

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.

Sounds so political

COVID-19: How to prepare at home for potential quarantineAs the World Health Organization raises its global risk assessment for contracting COVID-19 to ‘very high,’ doctors weigh in how Canadians can prepare themselves at home for a potential quarantine. Liberals have not curtailed any travel flow from countries with coronavirus while other countries have. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT, SHALL WE? That's racist!! 🙄🙄 This from a WTO that one month ago wasn't even interested in taking about the virus.
