WHO Director-media briefing on COVID-19 - 3 March 2020
However, there are some important differences between COVID-19 and influenza.
First, COVID-19 does not transmit as efficiently as influenza, from the data we have so far.
With influenza, people who are infected but not yet sick are major drivers of transmission, which does not appear to be the case for COVID-19.
Evidence from China is that only 1% of reported cases do not have symptoms, and most of those cases develop symptoms within 2 days.

Instead of attempting to spin the public into a hateful, frightened frenzy, let’s try reporting some facts with the correct context. Here’s what that might look like:

On March 3rd, the day after you claim Trump should have shut our economy down, this is how the WHO downplayed the virus:
“COVID-19 spreads less efficiently than flu, transmission does not appear to be driven by people who are not sick”

The question is always “ what did the president know and when did he know it?
HE IS LYING! TRUMP KNEW LAST NOVEMBER!
US alerted Israel, NATO to disease outbreak in China in November — report
US intelligence agencies alerted Israel to the coronavirus outbreak in China already in November, Israeli television reported Thursday.
US intelligence informed the Trump administration, “which did not deem it of interest,” but the report said the Americans also decided to update two allies with the classified document: NATO and Israel, specifically the IDF.
Colonel Shane Day, the NCMI director, denied last week that any such report existed. “As a matter of practice the National Center for Medical Intelligence does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters,” he said. “However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists.”

No such NCMI product exists.”The language of the denial appeared confined to November and to a formal work product.
However sources 'described repeated briefings through December for policy-makers and decision-makers across the federal government as well as the National Security Council at the White House,' according to the report.
The briefings of an issue the military needed to be aware of went back as far as late November, according to the report.

Trump already knew it was a pandemic.But the Data wasn’t available as to how severe a pandemic it was because China lied and people died. With 102 confirmed cases on Mar 2nd and WHO on Mar 3 saying it’s less deadly than the flu. Nobody shuts the economy down. If Trump did, the left would be whining about it

Nothing you claim or China did can excuse his persistent lying.
What are your thoughts on his tweets encouraging a civil uprising against state governments? Is that a new patriotic conservative Christian value we are just now hearing about?
I don’t believe the WHO claimed on March 3 the virus was less deadly than the flu, but even if they did it does not explain why trump was not listening to his own advisors. Face it, the lying mofo is scapegoating and by participating in his ruse you’re just a tool.

We should have intelligence agencies that should have better intelligence than that. But frumpy has basically decimated our intelligence community and he doesn’t care what they say anyway.

Every expert says widespread testing is necessary to safely reopen the country.
Virtually no state or local official we’ve spoken to says they have the capacity for widespread testing.
How will this be fixed by May in a country of 330 million people?

WHO Director-General's opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 - 3 March 2020WTF? Read these five facts from your link This says it’s more deadly and proves trump is a fukup and a liar. Stop spreading disinformation.
The second major difference is that COVID-19 causes more severe disease than seasonal influenza.
While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity. That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease.
Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.
Third, we have vaccines and therapeutics for seasonal flu, but at the moment there is no vaccine and no specific treatment for COVID-19. However, clinical trials of therapeutics are now being done, and more than 20 vaccines are in development.
And fourth, we don’t even talk about containment for seasonal flu – it’s just not possible. But it is possible for COVID-19. We don’t do contact tracing for seasonal flu – but countries should do it for COVID-19, because it will prevent infections and save lives. Containment is possible.

How many countries shutdown on Mar 3rd after WHO gave this dire warningWhat does any of that have to do with trump? We went from the most prepared country to the country with the most cases. We still don’t have adequate testing. You are pathetic. You’re like the mother who refuses to believe her son is a delinquent despite his room full of stolen goods.

It's all rendered meaningless by Trump's inaction in early March when all the pertinent facts were laid bare for all to see. He thoroughly downplayed the impact of the virus. I'll say it again, it was a goal line fumble.

I'll say it again, it was a goal line fumble.When it’s all said and done, this bad-faith analysis isn’t fact-based and lacks important context. Hating Trump is not an excuse for lazy argumentation and emotional reasoning. Now, more than ever, we need critical thinking and productive deliberation.
