If after reading, you still feel one way or another, cool.

The actual WHO report Jan 20 2019

This fucker ignored the warnings and is looking for scapegoats.

He's human garbage and has blood on his hands.

Somehow it escaped me before that "19" means "2019" i.e. far before the governors had enough knowledge to work around the feds.

Sad for us that WHO got it wrong about ease of transmission. But the measures were generally correct: cough control & hand wash.

That travel restrictions and screening weren't needed. I had seen this a long time ago on aljazeera's timeline but now it's gone. And it's not mentioned on this link here either.

But found the epidemic update published dated Jan 20 2020 and it's there. Page 2 paragraph 3 on PDF of update
