What's key to understanding the different patterns emerging around the globe is recognizing that"this coronavirus is not the flu," says Dr. Margaret Harris, a member of the World Health Organization's coronavirus response team. "A lot of people have put what I'd call a 'flu lens' on their expectations. They keep on thinking it's seasonal," she tells."But if you look around the globe, we've got countries in the middle of their summer and autumn having large, large outbreaks. So we're not seeing a seasonal pattern. What we are seeing is indeed, when people ease too quickly, that they do then see a rise in infections.
President Trump has threatened to pull U.S. funding for the WHO or just leave altogether. Given those tensions, are you concerned that the U.S. is not heeding the advice or the guidance from the WTO? The U.S. is a fantastic partner and the U.S. has got extraordinary depths of great scientific expertise. Now, these sort of tensions obviously are a concern. And we do not want to have the U.S. leave. We know the world benefits enormously from the public health leadership and the role the U.S. has always played. And we hope that will continue.
JulesKay1 Isn’t it about time the most powerful nation in the world started looking after its people like it looks after its money and it’s military might,....
whatever the 'world's top health officials' don't know dick
It’s not like we can stay in the house forever
WHO IS INCOMPETENT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING WHO ststes.
Well, it has never gotten under control so this can go on forever now can't it? The virus doesn't care. As long as they find an unprotected host. That's all it wants and right now it is controlling us. Yeah, how about another picnic, bar hop, just great big parties everywhere.
The line at nord rack ....
WHO seems to be right as often as our local weather forecaster. In other words I won’t hold my breath on their prediction. They might get it right once out of every seven times.
Study shows that lockdowns are not working!
No doubt we will have a second wave. After seeing the crowds this weekend I’m waiting to see the numbers of hospitalizations and cases go up. I’m grateful to be able to stay home, enjoy the outdoors like my back yard and brief periods of exercise, wear my mask and stay safe.

To review: The lockdown was sold as a way to avoid hospitals becoming overwhelmed. What is the chance that hospitals are going to become overwhelmed? 🤔
screw who
amprog As far as I’m concerned it’s just going to be one long wave.
Yeah yeah yeah we get the narrative. Close it down, shit it down during debate and voting season. Imagine Biden debating trump? Wouldn’t be pretty.
There is no second wave. This virus is here to stay, people will keep dying from this virus because no one is taking it seriously. We Americans are too self serving, entitled, spoiled, to think about others. Just like our President, ME, ME, ME, ME. Makes me sick.
Another LIE from 'health officials'. COVID doesn't mutate like influenza. COVID will likely disappear like SARS than become seasonal like the flu. Oh Look ... ACTUAL SCIENCE 👇
WHO has been compromised, not trustworthy in any respect imo
Did the WHO say we just have to wait two more weeks before we can safely lift restrictions?
No one ☝️ listens to the who They FAILED THE ENTIRE WORLD 🌎
