And especially it is from the Chinese authorities/scientists. ROFL

CCP has a history of hiding and covering up for **** like this. SARS ring any bell?

Now WHO is taking words from CCP like gospels given their history. Why are we paying WHO hundred of million dollars each year again?

The only thing they've done so far is help set up a ****ty concert with has-been celebrities. Besides that, I have no idea what purpose they serve.

For those of you that have trouble understanding, that's scientist speak for, "It's possible that it may be spread by human-to-human contact, but since we're not sure we won't make that claim until we're certain."

If this is your excuse for Trump's failure to do much of anything until March, it's a pretty poor one.
Right. Plus the WHO followed that up one week later with a report of sustained person-to-person transmission. People conveniently forget that part. Keep in mind that the virus was new and at that point information was limited.

In addition, info about newly reported #nCoV2019 infections suggests there may now be sustained human-to-human transmission. But more information and analysis are needed on this new virus to understand the full extent of human-to-human transmission and other important details. (8:35 PM - 20 Jan 2020)

For perspective, DJT restricted travel from China to the US on January 31st. Events were happening pretty rapidly at that point.

Thank God Trump revoked America’s funding for that joke of an organization.

But after that one week Trump got to work, right? No? He golfed and went to rallies instead?
