Is it a Fact in the beginning stages of this Virus that China directed the WHO to Destroy ALL documents related to or known about this virus?? Why, just Why??....


No, it's not.

It IS a fact that they ordered "unauthorized laboratories in the country to destroy coronavirus samples early in the outbreak," though, which they say was done to "prevent the risk to laboratory biological safety and prevent secondary disasters caused by unidentified pathogens."


But true or false, I don't know how that would reflect negatively on the WHO.

She just seems unable to understand. Sorry, just my opinion, but we can all read and assume where folks stand. Glit. Seriously?

Glit appears limited in her understanding. Same as it ever was. No empathy or anything. Just misunderstanding.

What I don't understand, Glitter... are you trying to say that the leaders of Vietnam and South Korea are just geniuses with the gift of prophecy, while Trump is just a normal human?

Or are you simply saying that THEY listened to the conference calls that began on January 7, and acted accordingly?

With China lying? I think China lies as mich as the Drumpf administration. I've said that numerous times.

Or was it China merely used Drumpf since they knew he was ignorant and incompetent? Which one are you saying? Or was Drumpf in on the lie for...well, you know why.

That would explain:

The fact is we got the same information from the WHO that the rest of the world did, but we didn't respond as well as other countries. Where does the blame for that go?

"China was withholding information while "playing" the WHO while we were funding the WHO ten times what China pays. I'm not sure why anyone doesn't see this as a concern."

Where are you at with this?

So, they were manipulating Drumpf, who apparently spoke directly with Xi. Meanwhile, Drumpf's administration was warning him about what could happen, but...

Huh. You're really paining Drumpf as a total incompetent. Or worse?

~glitter and glamour~

Again.

China was withholding information.

So, why did Drumpf say:

Trump praised China for its efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"

If he wasn't being manipulated? I mean...that is what you're saying, correct? Is he lying? Did he not actually talk to China? Or, why believe China when his scientists told him differently?

Wow...you dug a nice hole there.

No, Wormy.

Again, this is what I said:
"China was withholding information and manipulating Tedros..."

China was withholding information while "playing" the WHO while we were funding the WHO ten times what China pays. I'm not sure why anyone doesn't see this as a concern.

Why would Drumpf listen to China, as glitter is saying, over his own scientists?

Huh.

Posted 8:03 pm, 05/30/2020

So you're saying China played Drumpf like a violin? Despite the fact his own administration was warning him about the pandemic, according to what we know now?

Interesting. You must think Drumpf is either totally ignorant or for some reason would listen to the Chinese government before he would listen to his own scientists...wonder what reason he would have?

Wow. You've opened up a can of worms here.

Sorry, bud. Didn't mean not to mention that was from your source, Shoulda. I just noticed you left it off...my bad that I didn't give credit where credit was due.

~glitter and glamour~

Posted 7:58 pm, 05/30/2020

I appreciate you pointing that out, Shoulda and glad you see the point.


China was withholding information and manipulating Tedros, as he was announcing this February 4th...unbelievable:

Feb. 4

At a WHO briefing, Tedros urged that there be no travel bans. "We reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit. ... Where such measures have been implemented, we urge that they are short in duration, proportionate to the public health risks and are reconsidered regularly as the situation evolves."

He kept changing his tune...

Jan. 24

In a tweet, Trump praised China for its efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"

Jan. 29

Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, said, "The whole world needs to be on alert now. The whole world needs to take action and be ready for any cases that come from the epicenter or other epicenter that becomes established."

Jan. 30

At a campaign rally in Iowa, Trump talked about the U.S. partnership with China to control the disease. "We only have five people. Hopefully, everything's going to be great. They have somewhat of a problem, but hopefully, it's all going to be great. But we're working with China, just so you know, and other countries very, very closely. So it doesn't get out of hand."

Tedros announced that the outbreak had become a "public health emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of novel coronavirus."

Chinese officials ignored guidelines to report to the WHO and pressured WHO officials to mislead reporting the severity of the virus. We, truly, do not know how long this virus has been around....all Trump's fault
