I guess that's why China quarantined more people than the total population of Canada. I feel so safe knowing the geniuses at the WHO are looking out for us

We will have to wait and see about that but i reckin it will bs roughly the same

“3.4%”. Hey guys, when you get old, if you get sick, you might die.

We’re really sick in S. California after exposure to sick Chinese nationals at Lakers-Celtics game. Tamiflu did NOTHING because this is NotTheFlu. Doctors/clinics have no ability to test us. Even our medical clinic is freaked out and don’t know what to do except send us to ER.

The CDCgov website says the death rate is 6.9%. is spreading FAKENEWS. It’s amazing that JoeBiden has a good night last night, you tweeted this, and realDonaldTrump is about to speak about coronavirus You people are sickening. EnemyOfThePeople

I REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR 😇

Check for how long

Thanks WHO, very cool. Nobody knew that.

WHO said that again..?!? 🤔⁉️

Yes! Everyone knows this. China and italy quarantined cities for a reason.

hmmmm, well this contradicts the FW:FW:FW:FW:FW: email from MAGA_RedPill_Larry2Aaol.com that my great aunt sent me. Now I don't know what to believe.

Hitler Tedros

Weird.. Twitter knew this months ago while everyone else said not to worry.

Nobody knowed that.

3.40.2 WHO knew

Gee, really?

Lol, boring... when you include stats from 3rd world nations like Iran, then the numbers get skewed to be more dangerous

All part of the green new deal.

That is what WHO said.

Will stop at some point

Who says?

Chinese were having problems in Hongkong, Taiwan & other parts of the world throughout 2019 & continued. I think China was developing some kind of a biological weapon, a virus to kill all it’s enemies. Coronavirus got released by mistake & started killing them first. Watch China.

No it is not. 3% of those who have been tested. The just developed the test and, in the US, there is a strict criteria to test. So, again, it is too early to make a determination like that. Plus, those that are susceptible to infection are more likely to be infected; current sit.

Stop fear mongering It's all about your immune system Don't panic Take care of yourself Eat real food Get enough sleep Take a walk Breathe fresh air Live, laugh, love Fear is stress Stress depresses your immune system

Is this still a hoax or..? Asking for the cognitive dissonance crowd.

Who's going to tell the President⁉️

This is a scary year ... hope somebody finds a cure soon.
