REUTERS/Denis BalibouseGENEVA: The World Health Organization no longer has a process for declaring a pandemic, but the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak remains an international emergency, a spokesman said on Monday .
The Geneva-based agency, which declared the H1N1 swine flu outbreak a pandemic in 2009, declared the novel coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China in December a public health emergency of International concern, known as a PHEIC, on Jan 30."There is no official category ," WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said."WHO does not use the old phasing system that some people may be familiar with from 2009.
Odd that I’ve been watching the WHO briefings everyday and never once heard this uttered. Absolute bullsh*t.
So Trump interference again?
china virus
Did they say why they didn't use the pandemic category?
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
Google it, pandemic vs epidemic. Pandemic is like Walking Dead.
Huh what is this all about...
Jamani all this gymnastics. Pls
This is a lie from WHO
WHO do they think they are?
Ummm.... chrismartenson Have you seen this?
lookner nytimes WHO said they have no pandemic category anymore but have PHEIC -declared Jan 30. Countries have no framework for PHEIC response, insurance companies incl one for the WorldBank Pandemic Fund don’t have it in policies. PHEICnews PHEICconcern missedthememo
The reason why the W.H.O. has been a PR for China & shady about calling it a pandemic, slow to close borders, etc. is because they knew this was a manufactured virus. It was made in a lab. They are being paid to protect that from being said - it was MADE in a bio-weapon lab.
Un frikken believable
How can the WHO say it no longer “uses the pandemic category?” I found this on WHO’s web site: it’s titled WHO PANDEMIC PHASE DESCRIPTIONS:
'You can't call it a pandemic if you no longer use pandemic as an official threat level.' t. W.H.O. WHO
Defund WHO. They're useless and would rather see this disease spread than watch markets take a hit or see us close our borders to China.
Why should people still believe WHO
lookner BBCWorld WHO WSJ nytimes
Senin ta...... mm WHO
WHO are you? The best way to prevent future pandemics is to stop using a category called pandemic. Nice. WHO decided that it was easier to stop using the word than to solve pandemics.
As the song goes 'a chair is still a chair'.
WHO has just told us that it is sacrificing the human race. They are getting out before it even really begins. Google YouTube when will you stop recommending these clowns below coronavirus content? Or will you be complicit?
China wants to infect the rest of the world so that they are not quarantined. WHO is acting in the interests of China.
Wow ! Just WOW !
They are slimy. This just confirms that it is a pandemic, that they have been dodging calling it a pandemic and for how long? Days? Weeks?How much more time could families have had time to prepare?
Not using the word 'pandemic' to not hurt fee-fees.
Okay. So are there new catagories?
WHO..... powerless shitt.，untrustworthy
Who is Untrustworthy? 'WHO'
Yeah right ..
Everyone should be scared at this point. This is just too fishy.
