SethAbramson How much more evidence is needed

Isn’t that why masks are mandatory?

The WHO?.....Who cares

We are no longer a member quit posting what they say

So WHO is fear mongering so they can get more money from the US? And you are pushing that narrative so your China friends can be appeased. WHO is protecting China from being blamed for the Kung Flu!!

Now they confirmed coronavirus is airborne? NOW? WHO liars crooks And don't forget this:

Where is the study that proves this Not some bullshit Magic Emergine Evidence!! LMFAO! realDonaldTrump

Fearmongering is like the little boy who cried wolf. It eventually gets no attention.esp when everyone can see there hospitals are empty of covid.

, CDC downgraded COVID-19, it is no longer an epidemic. Why won't you report that? We are already following the safe distance rules. We know your agenda is to scare ppl with disgraceful reporting...meddle with the election.

Why the sudden change? I wonder

As Balloons leave their lockdown homes...it'll be interesting to see where they land, which ones pop...and the resulting chain of events. COVID2019 COVID19 Coronavirus sarscov2

Don’t trust anything WHO says, they are a proxy of the CCP

WHO is too slow on everything and have been wrong many times. A total waste of money to send to them.

Airborne = masks for all. The latest ploy for control.

After 6 months spread? What an incompetent organization. Not a trumper but WHO is NOT worth keeping.

WHO is a piece of lying propaganda org and should NOT BE TRUSTED----CNN once again PUSHING lies and frankly should be stopped

It’s almost like a little kid that makes it up as they go along.

We Chinese have known this since Feb.

Confused. Mid March - 250 cases in US. Close states down. July 2020 - Over 50,000 cases in US. Open everything up. Why are we not in lockdown country wide? Unless get under control now, opening schools is just asking for trouble. Anyone care to explain the rationale?

Wake up people!! Don’t buy what CNN is selling!! They didn’t post one article on transmission during the protesting! Their agenda is clear! Do yourself a favor and pick a better rated news show!!

Calm down, folks. Follow scientific debates on distance.

pdacosta Elementary my dear WHO. We have been operating under that supposition for months now. All evidence pointed to it.

Watch 'Bill Gates about second wave' on YouTube

The WHO has a deck of cards with canned answers to disease-related questions. They shuffle the cards before each press conference then draw from the top when answering a question.

Back to sender

I have a 1% chance of dying from corona my kid basically zero. Those odds don’t change that’s what they are all this for a 1% chance. Save the old and weak lock up the youth makes no sense our country is bankrupt 6 million die every year from poverty

CNN=💩💩💩

Of course it’s airborn idiots. We will all get the virus eventually. We need the vaccine !!!!!!!!! Testing just wastes our resources. Put that $$$$$ into quicker vaccine.

Not trying to defend WHO, they definitely could have handled all of this better, but studies take time to plan, conduct and publish. And only after many studies have been done and reviewed in a peer journal can their conclusions be considered valid. It makes sense it takes time.

WHO missguiding to Whole World

WHO acknowledges 'possibility of airborne transmission' of the coronavirusThe World Health Organization (WHO) said it is in discussions with the 239 scientists who published a commentary calling for health officials to "recognize the potential for airborne spread of COVID-19." The article, published Monday in the Clinical Infectious Diseases journal, said current guidance from the WHO cites only aerosol-generating procedures that are done in health care settings, but noted that infection risks are also problematic indoors, particularly in places that are crowded and have poor or ventilation, and airborne transmission may be a reason for superspreading events. "This matter is of heightened significance now, when countries are re-opening following lockdowns - bringing people back to workplaces and students back to schools, colleges, and universities," they wrote. Dr. Maria van Kerkhove, an epidemiologist for the WHO, said in response that a scientific brief about the modes of transmission for the coronavirus will be released in the "coming days." "We have been talking about the possibility of airborne transmission and aerosol transmission as one of the modes of transmission of COVID-19," she said Tuesday during a news conference. Lol after 6 months isn't this why masks were supposedly helpful? Amazing! They are only about 5 months late. It's like the members are paying for news coming in a few months late!

WHO acknowledges 'evidence emerging' of airborne spread of COVID-19The World Health Organization on Tuesday acknowledged 'evidence emerging' of the airborne spread of the novel coronavirus, after a group of scientists urged the global body to update its guidance on how the respiratory disease passes between people. This is not a conspiracy, this is not some big partisan thing. This is emerging evidence. Acknowledgment the same in a positive way ... the use of hydroxychloroquine ..even evidence supports its usage Wakey wakey! Always behind the curve. It took the WHO months to declare a pandemic.
