Kellyanne Conway on Fox: "This is COVID-19, not COVID-1 folks, and so you would think the people in charge of the World Health Organization, facts and figures, would be on top of that."

I don't watch Fox. Thanks for playing.

I'm sorry. I forgot Trump has already moved on to a much younger model.

OANN, is it?

Wow, 250 comments, I posted the article and then got swamped in minding the kids and work. Let me catch up and get back to you all.

Nice to see Sizzle and the Moron Trump follower dukeing it out.

Why would the media go against him?

.......................

They never had reason to.

The orange clown on the other hand supplies the media on a daily basis with reasons to go against him.

Only today it appears that the stimulus checks were delayed because the clown wanted to buy votes by having his name put on the checks.

Okay, then why wasn't Obama vilified when Swine Flu was sweeping around the globe? The only thing that closed down were schools at the time.

Oh wait. I know why. It's because he was a Democrat. God forbid anyone challenges him.

You leftist b'stards are all hypocrites.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop acting ridiculous.

I'm sure over a 12 month period, deaths from the swine-flu were in the range of 10,000 - 15,000 in the U.S. The coronavirus has registered, what, double that in weeks?!

What Barack Obama didn't do was pretend it was all going to go away. A Public Health Emergency was declared very early on and not some propaganda video of how brilliant his response was.

He didn't go around throwing tantrums, blaming everyone and anyone around him.

The man wasn't perfect, democrats surely are not perfect, but their response to this, would undoubtedly have been better.

I think you are being even more ridiculous, Dark. You’re trying to reason with a Trump nutter.

She's got to be dynamite in bed, considering her husband, whom openly disagrees and embarrasses Trump, is still with her.

Surely, after a while, you'd have to engage in conversation, only to realise how looney she is!

Trump is an idiot and is definitely shifting the blame but make no mistake whatsoever, he is 100% correct about the WHO both dropping the ball and being China centric.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This

It’s possible to both criticise Trump and at the same time criticise China and the WHO. People just seem to be lining up to only criticise just one of those parties.

The WHO’s mistakes have cost hundreds and thousands of lives and cost countries huge amounts of money - if they’re not fit for purpose their funding should be scrutinised and possibly taken away.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am all for that but not in the way Trump is doing it. Its totally politically driven point scoring blame shifting exercise.

They're making it very clear that the info is coming from the Chinese. This is where their jurisdiction reaches. In many scenarios the job of WHO is to relay info given to them. They have no powers to clarify any of this for themselves unless invited by the host nation to do so. If they're not allowed to go in and investigate then they get duped just like everyone else.

I suppose the only reason it’s not wasted is you get to see what mental stuff they’ll come out with next.

They are fascinating creatures.

Which mistakes? The WHO is moulded in the image of the nations that constitute it. It can only do what its allowed to do. If they can't do their own investigations then they're left relying in Chinese info like everyone else.

WHO is such a convenient blame shift for people who don't want to squarely attack their own leadership for poor governance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You actually believe the numbers coming from China?

:eyeroll:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No, that's my point.

Saying 'but China' after Trump literally called it a hoax means little to me. We know China are shady af.

My mistake. He's certainly said some pretty reckless stuff.

Article on BBC about Ihio's Governor who shut everything down before a single case in the face of massive criticism.

55 deaths.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
How so? It's such nonsense saying that Trump's response timing was poor.

On Jan 21st was the first US case and by Jan 31 all travel from China was banned.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/04/timeline-trump-administration-coronavirus-actions-200414131306831.html

But, are people really that foolish to think it's acceptable to put the entire country on lockdown over ONE CASE in January?

That's absolutely ridiculous.

If Trump decided to not do a damn thing and let the virus run its course, then you would have a point. But, it's simply NONSENSE to criticize him for not closing things down after one case - a country of 325 million people.

Perspective, people. I would have more respect for people if they just came out and admitted that it doesnt matter what he does, they will hate him because he's not a Democrat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about all the other stupid things he said and was saying? Then in the end saying he knew all along etc.

That lack of foresight is extremely dangerous and unbelievable in a president. Other nations will be laughing at this comedy because its proof that Trump doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

Trumps a maniac.

You dont cut the funding in the middle of a pandemic. You wait until its settled then investigate it and take it from there.

Also seen today that the relief cheques for furloughed workers will now be delayed for days because Trump wants his name printed on them and theyve been scrapped to start again. Thats gross negligence and unforgivable. Putting the next election in front of peoples lives. Its truly sickening.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy feck, didnt know that yet, thats genius, surely this will help him get votes. What an absolutely low-life this man is.

But if the world HEALTH organisation fails the world with horrendously incorrect information which has directly contributed towards the spread of the virus, why would you trust them to get anything else right?
=====
Which WHO info was "horrendously incorrect"?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely would like to see a reply to this with evidence.
