Covid19 Part XV - 15,251 in ROI (610 deaths) 2,645 in NI (194 deaths) (19/04) Read OP

This reminds me of the Litany that used to be done in church. I’m tempted to say “Pray for us” after each one.

China wasn't even counting asymptomatic people.
WHO asked them to include, they did, next day they stopped.
There could be millions infected in Wuhan alone but we will never know

Look I don't like China but even then there are limits.
Their initial PCR tests had a false negative of about 30%. So they were largely relying on lung images to make formal diagnosis. You can't just x-ray your entire population when the health service is bursting at the seems in a pandemic.
If China was the most transparent society on earth they'd never be able to report the actual number of infected accurately. They were caught completely in the initial outbreak. Testing, resources, diagnostics are extremely limited.

Has any other developed nation buried it's citizens in mass graves during this crisis?

Spain and Italy just let thousands of elderly die alone and with no help in nurshing homes,not even any morphine to ease the pain, and their deaths not even reported. Yeh way better than USA

USA is not dealing with this crisis any worse than the rest of the Western world

That is contradictory to their name World Health Organisation - not worrying about saying something to upset a country. Even the virus name - MERS, SARS... but now we have a new naming system to remove country racial profiling of it's origin. (edit just on this - all infections in China are now imported - think about that, the virus is coming from somewhere else...)
They should be thinking about protecting all humans regardless of who they upset.

How is that contradictory? WHO can't protect the world if they aren't being granted access to the infected areas, wherever they may be.

As I said, it's a balancing act. They are a severely underfunded organisation that have to go to some of the most unhospitable places on earth to track deadly diseases and you are worried about what they call them? I think WHO have bigger concerns to be honest.

One wonders if Americans spoke Dutch, would we even be taking notice of these press conferences.

I reckon there is a bet amongst his speech writers to see how many names he can get through in a row fluently

Its America, its the narrative.

Look at Sweden. No lockdown and **** all restrictions.

But hippy arseholes on here like to talk ****e about the "scandanavian model".

The swedes are going to destory their country.

Yes there is a huge anti Americanism with the anti Trumpers. They don't seem to accept that he represents a large section of Americans. He is America.
