WHO slow walked this to the place where it is now.
They are part of the problem, if this was taken serious when if first broke out it could have been isolated a lot better.
~snip~
Did WHO's China ties slow decision to declare emergency?
Beijing has contributed money and leadership to the UN agencyasia.nikkei.com
A source familiar with the WHO's decision-making acknowledged that the agency had to consider not just the infectiousness of the coronavirus, but the economic impact of declaring a health emergency. China accounted for 4% of global gross domestic product in 2003, a share that has since grown to 17%.
"China and the WHO have extremely close ties," a diplomatic source in Beijing said. China is the world's second-largest financial contributor to the U.N. The WHO's previous director-general, Margaret Chan, was nominated to the post by the Chinese government after spearheading Hong Kong's response to SARS.
Using its diplomatic weight, China has blocked Taiwan's attendance at the WHO's annual health assembly since 2017, the year after China skeptic Tsai Ing-wen became the island's president.
China also provides significant aid to Ethiopia, the home country of current WHO chief Tedros. And Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, is a longtime WHO goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
While declaring an emergency, Tedros did hold back from imposing travel or trade restrictions. "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade," he said Thursday in Geneva.
Now Iran wants to bury the facts too...
Because they ignored the facts coming out of Wuhan....

325 People Being Monitored for Coronavirus in Michigan, Sparking Concern of Spread
325 people are being monitored in the state of Michigan for the coronavirus, all of whom have been in mainland China in recent weeks; These individuals are not under official quarantine but being asked to remain at home; As of right now, they are considered low to moderate risk.
After visiting mainland China in the last month, approximately 325 individuals in Michigan, USA, are now being monitored for the coronavirus. At this time, it is reported that they’re considered low to moderate risk and therefore are not under official quarantine but being asked to remain at home until they’re cleared. Several of them have already completed the requested isolation period at home and have returned to their daily schedules.
Health department officials are contacting the people daily for an update on symptoms and anyone who is reported to the local health department for symptoms of the virus or exposure to it falls under the health department’s jurisdiction. At least five individuals that have had the symptoms of the virus have all tested negative so far.

First, yes I tried a search. But I no longer remember who posted this--only that it was a video posted from a TWITTER link....and the word "screaming" brought out only unrelated threads, and of course "Wuhan" ----well, you know.
SO---can anyone tell me in WHAT POST (I first saw it yesterday evening, but it may have been posted up to 2 days prior to that--that's how far behind I usually stay on this thread which adds 5-10 pages a day) ---
WHERE is the post with the twitter of Wuhan apartment buildings, with residents SCREAMING their despair into the night?
I wanted to show that to my husband.
Thanks.

I think it was BOTH---
It WAS being experimented on as a "possible" biological weapon
The animals used were reading for "dumping"
Instead of incinerating them, some low-level idiot thought he'd make a quick profit selling them to the wet-market
And a biologically weaponized monster escapes..............

One concern, even if this pandemic fades away, is that many small countries and/or terrorist groups have seen the damage, panic, and efficacy of a bio-agent. CRISPR technology is relatively cheap and easy, no PhD. required but it helps. Anyone with the resources of a small to medium sized company can now, with publicly available information, engineer their own versions of a bio-weapon.
Terrorist groups produce terror and if their hatred is accompanied by religious fervor, believing they will be protected from their own creation, this release may be just the first. The same applies to a country that believes it is at a severe disadvantage compared to the rest of the world. Countries that do not have the infrastructure or human resources to produce nuclear weapons may produce bio-weapons without the knowledge or ability to do so safely or contain them. There will be many Frankenstein’s Monsters, they will just be very small.

That fella died riding a rocket so he could prove the earth was flat. There are people that believe a man dressed as a woman should be able to use the woman's restroom. There are people that believe they can use medicine to change their biological gender. Some believe they can change their gender by changing the typing on their drivers license or birth certificate from male to female. There are people that actually believe that banks lend money that other people deposited.
We have not been following rules, science, or common sense for a very long time.
This is simply the second or maybe third time or maybe fourth time in your lifetime (that you know of) that it threatens most of the people on the planet.

THANK you!
(Do I have something set wrong? For instance, I am seeing a new post I just put in a while ago, #18327---TWICE on this SAME page. And just now when I scrolled back up--it was only there once. I keep seeing this happen--posts seem to not stay on one page but to "migrate" to different pages as I scroll back and forth trying to find something. It's very frustrating.)

US senators will be briefed tomorrow on coronavirus
From CNN's Manu Raju
All US senators will be briefed Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. in a classified setting on the novel coronavirus, two sources with knowledge of the plans tell CNN.
One source said that the briefing will be in a classified setting because the senators who are organizing it wanted to be prepared in case a senator asks a question that can only be answered in a classified setting
.
There will be briefers from the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and the State Department, one source added.

Expert: Chinese Scientists Sell Lab Animals as Meat on the Black Market
STR/AFP via Getty Images
By John Hayward 24 Feb 2020
Population Research Institute President Steven W. Mosher wrote at the New York Post on Saturday that China’s coronavirus epidemic could have been unleashed by researchers who sold laboratory animals to the notorious “wet markets” of Wuhan for extra cash.
Mosher is not the first skeptic of Beijing’s official coronavirus narrative to note the presence of an advanced microbiology lab near Wuhan, the city where the epidemic originated. Since the early days of the crisis, theories have suggested everything from the lab accidentally releasing the virus to speculation that the virus might have been deliberately designed as a biological weapon.
His theory cited as evidence the release of new guidelines from the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology calling for “strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”
As Mosher pointed out, the facility near Wuhan is the only Level 4 microbiology lab in China, so the new directive was implicitly directed at the Wuhan facility, which further implies the Ministry of Science and Technology has reason to believe its containment procedures need to be strengthened.
He also noted that Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, the Chinese military’s top expert in biological warfare, was dispatched to Wuhan in January to deal with the crisis, and her background includes extensive research on coronaviruses.
“This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China,” he said of Chen’s relationship with the lab.
The novel twist to Mosher’s theory is that Chinese lab technicians have an unfortunate history of selling experimental animals to vendors such as the ones that ply their trade in Wuhan’s wet market:
Skepticism about China’s official history of the coronavirus outbreak generally begins with noting that fully a third of the early coronavirus cases documented in December had no connection with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, which closed at the beginning of January after it was identified as ground zero of the epidemic.
The Huanan market certainly looked like the sort of operation that an epidemic might spread from, as it sold seafood and meat alongside live chickens, donkeys, pigs, rats, snakes, and other animals. “Wet markets” derive their name from the practice of killing and butchering live animals while customers watch.
The Wuhan virus appears genetically similar to diseases that have been spread by bats in the past, but there has not been any firm confirmation of which animal might have carried the disease or spread it to humans. In fact, a report published by a Chinese research team on Monday raised questions about whether the virus actually jumped from animals to humans at all.

You nailed it. Someone sold the animals they used in the weapons lab to the wet market. This is before they had developed a vaccine. So it was an accident. Somebody just trying to make a few extra bucks.
No, but those greiving the death of their children and spouses do.
So do children who have lost their parents.

That's how it works. New posts are past the bottom of the range posted on a page, so they are shown at the bottom. Note that the post numbers are correct, and there will be a gap between the last # on the page and the numbers of the new posts. Then when you go to the next page, you'll see the new posts in their correct place.

Ask almost any first responder, street medic or hospital ER or Unit employee, in places where people die.
It is LOUD, and all you can do is TRY (unsuccessfully, mind you) to console the inconsolable. Yep, you learn REAL QUICK what desperate loss sounds like. And all you can do is hope and pray that you never hear it in your own voice.
That is useful information if in fact accurate. Thank you for posting.I would assume this has been discussed here, but I don't recall it. Regardless, this is kind of interesting. Accurate? I dunno, just throwing it out there:
Coronavirus Age, Sex, Demographics (COVID-19) - Worldometer
Age, sex, demographic characteristics such as pre-existing conditions, of coronavirus cases of patients infected with COVID-19 and deaths, as observed in studies on the virus outbreak originating from Wuhan, Chinawww.worldometers.info
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%).
DEATH RATE* 0-9 years old
In general, relatively few cases are seen among children.
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by SEX:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on sex. When reading these numbers, it must be taken into account that smoking in China is much more prevalent among males. Smoking increases the risks of respiratory complications.
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%).
DEATH RATE *
Pre-existing medical conditions (comorbidities)
Patients who reported no pre-existing ("comorbid") medical conditions had a case fatality rate of 0.9%. Pre-existing illnesses that put patients at higher risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection are:
