When this virus 1st made headlines, the only supposedly credible information the world had came from WHO
So: We belived WHO But then some diffent information made it's way to the out side world at great risk to those who made this possible, given what the world later learned was china's efforts to suppress all negative information
Now WHO is tellling us Beijing bought us critical time to fight the virus
I call BS
If china had come clean immediately the world would have had more information and we all know information is king
Because of the conflicting lack of information we now have rampant speculation
Some say this is much less than a normal Flu season
The other end of the spectrum is Bill Gates specualting millions world wide will be infected
Now if that isn't the full range of unknown information I don't know how anybody can get much more un-informed speculation
I blame china for being so unwilling, even today to be more informative to WHO and the world specialist in such matters, so how did china buy us more time???
If this wild specualation would settle down, people with expertise could get to work and give us believable information and then we would get on with life, what ever that may be, given what we know and trust.
As of today, speculation helps nobody and WHO needs to give us believable and true information. Smuggling information out of china puts lives at risk with no need for such activity.
The leaders of China and WHO need to be truly condemed by the countries of the world
On a personal note I believe china will pay a severe penalty, both internally, and with their world trade which might take decades to recover, at least world trust with world trade partners, so there may be a penalty for china, which they truly deserve for trying to decieve the world of accurate information
"The other end of the spectrum is Bill Gates specualting millions world wide will be infected"
Bill Gates is wealthy and brilliant in certain areas............apparently not in science and he is ignorant in atmospheric science(my area of expertise).
Want to hear a rich genius talk blatant, anti science ignorance? Bill Gates gets an F in science. Radical left has taken over teaching at almost every college. More on brainwashing. AOC and her climate religion cult. They use scary words but no data because the data shows them wrong. I show the data. November 2019
Wayne,
I'm just going to continue to monitor the data and use common sense about science and medicine and not believe the unsupported wild speculation and fake news.
Get on board and take a ride on the Coronavirus authentic science reality train............choo choo (-:

Semi-log plot of daily new confirmed cases and deaths in China.
I think the key sentence in my post was "because of conflicting information we have rampant speculation" or something to that effect
I was also calling out WHO for saying china had bought us time
I called BS because if china had been up front immediately we would have much more information, sooner, with information being king in today's world
Number 1 , Trump offered direct aid 5 weeks ago and the US still cannot enter China. Number 2 find whatever Michael Pillsbury writes in China and take that to the bank.
