They promote public health and target resources. They're not without controversy but they have no legal powers in the sense they can't force member states to adopt any of their recommendations.

I'm alright with reduced funding for the UN and it's subsidiaries, I'm no fan of them, but Don's done it to deflect blame from his own failings in the handling of the pandemic. If people want to fund the WHO so be it but it should be done like THL favourite Bill Gates does it. Voluntarily. Unfortunately jacked up taxes to pay for free sh*t and piss poor government oversight in the money is endemic in the 1st world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,260 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) The WHO gave good advice based on years of experience dealing with infectious disease around the world, just us numpties didn't follow it. The expert opinion from Helen Ward is professor of public health at Imperial College London. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/apr/15/uk-government-coronavirus-science-who-advice and the open letter from the scientists. https://vip.politicsmeanspolitics.com/2020/03/15/uk-scientists-on-coronavirus-open-letters-to-number-10/ Edited April 17, 2020 by sandymere 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey Finn 2,702 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 40 minutes ago, ChrisJones said: True. Personally I'm not happy that they've suspended the conditions of oversight in what they actually do with that money. Your screename says Michigan. How are you fairing up there. Down here in southern Utah we haven't had a new reported case since Monday and we've only had one fatality since it all kicked off. A lot here are concerned that many will see that and come this way and we could see a spike. We're already seeing California and New York license plates as they come to their second homes/relatives. Thanks for asking Chris. It sounds like you guys are either very lucky with location and climate working in your favor. Or it's just starting for you. I hope you were lucky! The folks traveling from across the country is the height of irresponsibility. But fleeing is a natural response I guess. They are saying we are rated #3 on cases and deaths. Hopefully we'll reach our "peak" soon. Curiously while facilities handling corona virus are swamped with bodies stored in trailers. The hospital nearest me was emptied and closed. I learned of this before it was in the news because my neighbors mother was there on a ventilator. As soon as she was weaned off of it she was transferred to the big temporary facility in Detroit. Can you even imagine. Otherwise, there was a protest in our state capital Lansing. Trump banners and guys parading around with AR's. What are you gonna do? Good luck out there! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
