The World Health Organization raised the coronavirus impact risk alert to 'very high' as it wiped $6 trillion off markets

GENEVA/BEIJING - The coronavirus spread further on Friday, with cases reported for the first time in six countries across three continents, battering markets and leading the World Health Organization to raise its impact risk alert to “very high.”

“I think this is a reality check for every government on the planet - wake up, get ready, this virus may be on its way and you need to be ready,” Ryan said. In addition to stockpiling medical supplies, some governments ordered schools shut and canceled big gatherings to try to halt the flu-like disease. Switzerland canceled next week’s Geneva international car show, one of the industry’s most important gatherings.

South Korea, with the most cases outside China, reported 571 new infections on Friday, bringing the total to 2,337, with 13 people dead.

WHO Aye Dr. Tedros making the Habeshas proud dr.tedros

WHO I wonder if theses will be mandatory vaccinations. To what extent, if any, enforcement might look like.

WHO Up to 56 thousand people die from the common flu every year. Stop Fear Mongering!

WHO WHO is a dog controlled by China communist now. They are murderer! WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak China_is_terrorist

WHO The kind of cash the US gives these crooks they should be able to do a little more than raise the risk alerts. They'd probably have to give up some of those expensive perks.

WHO Honestly. This man makes my blood boil. Clearly, the 'Learning English Grammar' books he still owes us money for was a total waste of time. He should have focused more on the 'Learn English And Don't Sound Like A ****' series.

WHO and trump said coronavirus only hoax and fear

WHO PaulLidicul I beg you to ridicule DrTedros WHO

WHO Don't you mean 60 countries?

WHO Just call CoronavirusOutbreak a pandemic so the world can deal with it swiftly.

WHO Oh yes. That man again.

WHO

WHO WHO . Able to tell the world the source yet. No point in praising China’s efforts with all three presenters, when China made no efforts in releasing important info to the world on time if at all.

WHO WHO has lost all credibility in my opinion.

WHO I'll have to buy a glitter bedazzled facemask 😷 xx

WHO You mean like the flu?

WHO Do you remember what you said a month ago?

WHO

WHO NON-SENSE PANIC...

WHO 😷 Oh my Gosh Countries have adopt your own contained measures. .need be satisfaction to WHO 😂

WHO

WHO Hey! I am an economics student that has started her own blog about economics and socioeconomic issues. I would love and really appreciate any kind of support!

WHO

WHO Someone has an interest in this to cause panic and to cause more deaths through vaccination !!!!

WHO Who= Joke.

WHO Incompetent

WHO $ALT Altimmune Completes First Development Milestone Toward a Single-Dose Intranasal COVID-19 Vaccine CORONA CoronaVirusUpdate

WHO He is CCP’s puppy and has become the ‘spokesperson’ of CCP. WHO is helping CCP- see what’s happening? The deadly Coronavirus is now spreading out the whole world. This guy must STEP DOWN. Shame on you WHO

WHO: ...Länder müssen verstehen, dass sie ALLES versuchen müssen, um COVID19 einzudämmen - das nicht zu tun, ist unverantwortlich, wird Menschen töten jensspahn ja, wir können das. Zu spät ist es, wenn 10% der Bevölkerung infiziert ist. Ohne Eindämmung wird es „jeder“ (WHO)

WHO containment possible?

WHO Bullshit is still possible

WHO Not here in the US. Our newly minted expert VP Pence is going to pray for it to be stopped and caged at the border.

WHO Risk of death

WHO Dissolve this corrupted uselessness! ASAP

WHO

WHO

WHO RT to RealDonaldTrump...SeanHannity...rushLimbaugh...FoxandFriends...BreitbartNews...OANN

WHO No comment 😷🤐😒

WHO Containment is still possible, let me guess, we're going to contain it with wide open borders yes ?

WHO If sick people aren’t being tested in the US it is not contained, it’s being buried by lies.

WHO Trump voters taking a lovely selfie...

WHO Oh wow. Sherlock.

WHO Fucking bullshit, Coronavirus is mild flu and as normal people with weakened immune systems or lung issues suffer or die, there is something else that WHO and the authories of every country are not sharing because the majority of people do not die of mild flu!

WHO You little c*nt. I'd say resign, but l know your kind well enough to know this is not incompetence as much as it is design, and anyone replacing you would have just as filthy a character.

WHO If one of the quarantine centers set up on a US military base can't contain it......

WHO fuckwho

WHO Alright I’m going to level with you all!

WHO HYPE—

WHO Containment has failed sir. Wake up!

WHO Well I hear the admin may lower taxes which should contain the virus

WHO It's time for the Director to resign.

WHO Not when the POTUS calls it a hoax.

WHO Just a week ago WHO was refusing to call it a pandemic. These clowns are dangerous frauds.

WHO Containment is absolutely positively not possible. We are so far past that. Window of opportunity closed 3 weeks ago if not sooner.

WHO

WHO wakeup

WHO Stay calm and carry on

During Global Financial Crisis global financial institutions - IMF & World Bank were admirably swift to act. They did what the world needed – and while negative consequences couldn’t be avoided, the immediate impact was to some extent mitigated.

Trying to feel bad for the billionaires, but nothing is coming out.

DonaldJTrumpJr Part of the conspiracy?

Wasn't it WHO that downplayed the risks for well over a month?

This will return just as it was lost.

WHO is waiting for China’s instruction and approval before taking any further actions. ChinaVirus COVID2019

money now dictates reality...at least we are being honest. but you know, those without money don't care too much about markets, they care about family. give us the facts and not the results and measures to stem....not a financial report.

Poof !! All the fed money gone in one week... but no go ahead J Powell add a couple more trillion at this point doesnt matter. Markets are in self fulfilling prophecy mode.

Trump could use this opportunity to employ Americans and get some work done.

That impact risk to wealth really hurts.

And next week the impact risk alert will be 'beyond salvage' but still not pandemic. Literally EVERYONE is calling this a pandemic but the WHO!! Wtf is the point of them at this point!

So Mick Mulvaney thinks the WHO is out to undermine Trump, too?

The consequences of the “hyped up hysteria” could cause far more long lasting damage than the coronavirus itself.

three years of market gains up in smoke

Wait so the stock market determines how high the risk is ? Wtf is this ? this is stupid. The health organisation should pay no attention to markets to determine this. Ppl on markets see a potential crisis and sell It should be determined on the ACTUAL facts about the virus.

It not wiped $6 trillion it wiped the whole humanity along the great great faith of humanity . Best and best wishes for all . I believe great peace for all .

Exactly what they want to happen....

Only 451 tests for coronavirus COVAD19 had been done in the United States as of Feb 26. 15 tested positive, about 3%%. This does not include 43 cases among repatriated persons from a cruise ship under quarantine.

Bang goes my pension. I guess I'll just have to survive another 10 years or so without it.... Again.

Kenya My Country 😭😭😭😭

The virus didn't wipe anything off the market, stupid panicked human beings did

and the WH advice don't talk about it so much and the stock market will come back...… yea.... right....

This is only the beginning...

Bill Clinton Lol they should cause theyll lose almost all independent voters Unfucking believable, this far in they want to screw everything up, and do whatever they can to make sure Trump still wins what the hell are these people thinking.
