Has China allowed them to officially call it a pandemic yet?

Are you kidding me? WHO has lost ALL credibility. They have a China shill leading it and they caused thousands of unnecessary US deaths by covering for China’s deceit. Defund them...no US taxpayer money to them. Let the Communists pay for them POTUS

DefundTheWHO

So NOW they want to try and exhibit some leadership?!?

When should the Covid_19 CoronavirusPandemic be over we are tired of this shit

I find myself angry at WHO.

The WHO is a bogus administration

Bottom line is most people are NOT going to live life as they once did UNLESS there is more than adequate testing or a vaccine! Force everyone back and u will have chaos if u don’t listen to the experts. The economy will only bounce back if WE feel safe!!

China can never be trusted again. POTUS CNN WhiteHouse foxnewspolitics

The tests have high false negative rates. Relying on tests is fine when 20 people are infected. You might miss 3 of them with testing and you will catch those secondary infections. When 2M people are infected & you miss 300K, you cannot contact trace all those outbreaks.

Test test test - if only the states could!! Still not enough test or sites.

Who the hell listens to the who anymore they're dishonest they spread false information and lies all they want to do is protect China who started this virus and lied to the world about it now the who needs to be shut down permanently

When should CORONAVIRUS / COVID19 Lockdown Measures be Lifted? A LOGICAL, REASONABLE, ETHICAL and INTELLIGENT ANSWER: 👉🏽 When there is a Coronavirus Vaccine

No one cares what WHO says CNBC stop speaking of an org that caused 95% of cases around the world

Criteria 1 - open up immediately.

wait what is WHO

The WHO?! The same group that only declared CV a pandemic on March 11?! No thx.

The WHO and The CCP need to be tried for crimes against humanity. China

How much money would you pay for their advice? I mean, having in mind how good their previous advice has been, you can put some dollar amount on it. If it is zero dollars, then well, this advice must be worthless.

Why is CNBC quoting material from aquestionable source like WHO? What is driving their decision making?

China news 👍

WHO put this advice in your ass, China puppets 🥡🥢🦇🐀👉🏻🦠 ChineseVirus WuhanVirus COVID2019 COVID19

The same WHO that dismissed the virus as non relevant? The same that said face masks don't work and now are almost mandatory everywhere? Come on.

The WHO? I’ll pass on their advice.
