The WHO said this virus was not able to transfer human to human. WRONG!
That is false. The WHO said the Chinese government said there was no evidence of human to human at that time (which I believe was early January), but the added the caveat that doesn’t rule out human to human spread. I’m almost positive the WHO stated there was evidence of human to human transmission within the next 2 weeks after they had evidence to confirm human to human spread.
Quote:Experts like Faucci downplayed it back in January and February. They were WRONG!!!
The subject of masks came up and Faucci lied over and over again saying no need to wear masks. In fact, he and CDC said more harm could come than good.
In January and February when there were only a few hundred cases, people’s cold and flu symptoms were much more likely to be a cold or the flu. And the chance their cold and flu symptoms were Covid 19 were slim to none except in a few geographical regions or based upon travel history.
Fauci didn’t lie about masks. During his 60Minutes interview he stated most people in the US didn’t need to wear a mask at that time because there were so few cases at the time. Did you need to wear a mask in Ohio on March 8th when there were only 213 known cases in the entire US and Ohio had yet to report a single case? No.
Quote:Fast forward and they all reverse position and want to mandate masks, still no scientific proof, just a hunch.
That’s also false. We have evidence masks help slow community spread.
Quote:They say noone should be within 6 feet of each other for more than 15 minutes while inside, then allow planes to carry passengers for hours in a closed place and not social distanced.
We can’t get people to wear a mask so how are we going to get airlines to follow recommendations?
Quote:I could go on and on, but the truth is it is no one's fault (other than the Chines government and WHO for hiding it) as a virus hit, we had no test for it, no treatment for it, no cure for it so all of the experts were in scramble mode.
I’m sure you could go on and on because all your complaints involve taking information out of context or misrepresentation of the information.
Quote:The original estimate was millions would die in the US alone,
Again, false. The original estimate was 60K deaths in the US.
Quote:so while losing one life to any illness is a shame, less than 300,000 would be a huge win considering the level we started to combat the virus.
That’s nothing but the Trump administration and Fox News gas lighting you.
Quote:We started at zero, we can blame Obama, we can blame Trump or blame both, but blame never fixed an issue. All we can do is keep trying to do our part to not spread it now. Wear a mask, take your temp. daily minimum, wash your hands every 60 minutes minimum, social distance and be very cautious around the vulnerable.
Finally something we can agree upon.
Quote:I just wish the Chinese communist government (not Chines people) would have given us accurate info and not wasted 2 to 3 months for us to understand how bad this virus was. We lost valuable time to create a vaccine.
The WHO declared a public health emergency in January. China didn’t waste 2-3 months of our time. Trump did. And if the Trump administration hadn’t cut the CDC personnel in China there to specifically monitor emerging pandemics we might have gained some lead time that Trump would have pissed away anyway.
And this is the kind of false Covid 19 info that gets spread in JN, but they won't come in here with it and they won't come in here to defend it, either.
