Well for your information this is stage 2 we still got to go through stage 3 same scenario as if it was a bad flu bug and if you have a healthy immune system you can fight it off and in this crisis you should be saying do not let your body run down do not skip meals

WHO every time couldn't inform a good information about corona, may Allah save us from this calamity ameen

Something is not being told transparently Reasons for spread , Preventive measures are lagging behind Masks, Washing hands & keeping distance are not the only measures Else spread would have not too much as these are being followed to large extent

🥺🥺🥺

girishgoa narendramodi said within 21 days he would fight to eradicate Coronavirus Or was that a Biggest Jumla of the Century?

The WHO is full of beans! A cure for the Covid19 has been discovered today.

Please consider Canadian Experience class again for PR invitations as we are already here and helping toward the growth of our economy. We are struggling since many years and have done a lot of investments till date. Bring back CEC carergory PR invitation (CanadianExperienceClass

Eradicate? That's a HUGE reach, even for the common flu strain. The covid-19 virus will always be around.

Not true ... If the WHO would FUND Dr Gary R Davis research at the Nuggic Medical Center in Accra Ghana.. That successful human trial treatment BB7075 side effect would be able to cover those exterior RECEPTORS completely and recognize any of it's mutations...

Weekend is off to a great start! Thanks CNN!

It can't be true!🤣🤣🤣

It could have at the beginning if china would have listened to its doctors and not detained them

Its criminal what the media on both sides does to propagate fear and divide. Take it in with that filter in place. Don't be played

Especially if the vaccines come out of China

Corona virus is here to stay but we must learn how to live with this pandemic.

Who wants covid to go away forever

Predictions😓 again predictions,,,😖no specific solutions...🤯

Wait... they r just now realizing that a microscopic virus can’t be eradicated? Well back to life, work, play, school etc... this thing is here fir the long run, might as well focus protective measures directly to the 10% which r vulnerable n everyone else, BACK TO WORK

Really.... could've fooled me

Agreed. CV19 is here to stay. Suck it up and prepare.

Lame

everybody in the WHO can kill themselves

Who’s wishes

So the goal is now “eradication?” I thought it was all about “flattening the curve” and “slowing the spread.” Keep moving the goal posts. We see it. Watch what happens in November. Clown-show all around with you people.

At least not till Nov 4th.

Can someone magically make it go away?

Oh we are fucked!😫😫😫😫😫😫🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣

They won’t get fooled again!

Fuck the WHO, the US has nothing to do with them anymore after they helped China hide the virus.

My everyday prayer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 please God take our fear and this virus away!

Life is a bitch!!!!

well really it's a virus you can't eliminate it like a rash

No wonder they defunded them 😂

Can cnn just shut its mouth? So noisy!

I’m Floored 😂

bullshit

Floridacoronavirus and schools are not even open yet

Y'all remember when everyone was freaking out about having to stay home for two weeks? No? Maybe that's because that was almost 5 months ago 👁👄👁

When the elections are over it will disappear

Cnn why dont you report this....

I dont trust on WHO...

Great news 🥺

WOW. The WHO are the Capt Obvious of this Wuhan Virus. Usually there information is about 45 days old and everyone already knows it. No wonder the US got out of that shit bag organization

Corona Go, Go corona 😁

WHO says a lot of things. Not all are entirely true

Kinda like cnn and its reporters , we wish you guys where gone.

You mean China says

It's time to put Nick Kyrgios in charge of WHO

Why is this news? That was clear as soon as it started spreading outside of China.

No joke. Either you had it or you’re gonna get it. Get in shape, fatties!

That’s not good. The closest genetic relatives of this virus are some of the worst coronaviruses known to man. If a strong virus can become weak, a weak virus can become strong. Coexisting with this virus is not an option. It must be destroyed by any means necessary.

Can’t trust WHO any longer! Tadros RESIGN! WHO

The Who also said it couldn’t be transmitted between humans.

Why are you even repeating their 'updates' most of the information is weeks old.

Then let us go back to normal....

At this time is all bull shit!!!!

Why would anyone take anything those political hacks say seriously? Ohh wait..this is CNN.

Sounds like WHO is insinuating that this China virus is likely to be a permanent thing, like HIV.

The cold hasn’t been eradicated either. We build immunity to viruses. The cold was identified by name in the 1950’s. Symptoms and treatment of the virus (cold) have been dated to 1600 BCE. This virus isn’t any diff. Someone with cancer can die from a cold & We haven’t shut down.

Of course it can't be eradicated. Just like flu it will be a seasonal jab. We need a vaccine asap. Once we get that we will be able to control it much easier. The good thing is this is a worldwide effort.

We need a Corona Virus vaccine ASAP

We need black magic then

God's Plants against Coronavirus! Part 1

Anyone who thought so is not paying attention or doesn't believe the science. 🤦🏻‍♀️

By the time it's 'eradicated,' there will be another new disease. Every 10-15 years sounds about right

They tried to downplay it to fuck Trump and America and just ended up getting out of control

The reality is that some countries are almost back to normal... Some countries preferred to play political games instead of doing something about it and now they are paying the price....

More good news keeps coming

That's not what tRump said and he know everything.

Yea but it doesn’t matter what they say cause we don’t belong & they are too influenced by China

Too many statements every day

No coincidence that USA, Brazil, and Russia are in the top 4!

ONLY because such mixed/misleading messaging! If Fauci hadn't tried to save healthcare workers before citizens, POTUS realDonaldTrump hadn't been so foolish/greedy &preachers like robertjeffress others who DON'T know God had used common godly sense, wouldn't be in this mess!

Great, so then what? Cancelling life indefinitely is not an answer.

Which means the idea of remaining closed should be out of the question. What we need to do is implement sanitary measures across the country and open up

WHO is talking to who?

Hmm just like every other virus that's weird right

Good thing our goal was never eradication or elimination.

Yep it’s a virus. Not going anywhere. Didn’t need WHO to say that. Common sense says that.

We need to lockdown until we have eradicated it completely. So many selfish people in this country including TRUMP!!

It is surreal to -see footage of bread lines & bodies loaded into ice trucks -realize that it's all in the US—not a farflung, war-torn nation -then see Trump say this plague'll magically disappear Trump &his acolytes have abandoned empirical reality—& it will keep costing lives

and i said this 3 months ago... no one listened to me

Oh well if the WHO said so then ok that’s all I need to know.

What's inside?

Yep!

😳🤦🏽‍♂️😢😢🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️.....So what next people......

Take of the year right there 😂 smh

Well do the math, How long for everyone, Everywhere to get it, Then no need for masks and needles,

Tell us one reason we should be trusting you WHO

Captain obvious says thanks !

I mean did people really think it could be completely eliminated? At least in the near future?

So let’s sit at the house for a couple years right? 😳

This was a helpful and totally out of the blue tweet, that’ll have a sweeping positive impact on the situation. Thanks so much!

'A former CNN producer accused Don Lemon of hurting the network with a “divisive” and “boring” show saying his former employer has shown 'a lack of self-awareness' during the Trump era.' lol...

why would it be eliminated when WHO is gravely profiting from it?

That’s not what our trusted dictator says.

I’ll give them that... at least that! 🙄

That's a lot of abstract language. They could be more specific about dates and probabilities. Unhelpful information that will disconnect people.

The WHO only talking, maybe they have to do something, not only talking? Useless organization.

We either suffer under mitigation efforts, or we immediately contend with the unavoidable reality of COVID-19.

great job WHO!!! WHO

Water is wet

no shit

Doesn't need to be... the flu comes back every year. We just need a treatment.

This is so beautiful!

Yay CORONA WINS!!!!

🙄

awww shucks!

They should have told people to wear masks RIGHT AWAY and no travels but they played it down

Clueless organization

I wish they were smarter and more helpful
