That IS the point.


Oh okay, so basically you're not trying to have a rational discussion about this, the WHO has been coming under scrutiny for this entire COVID situation from all angles:

How China Deceived the WHO

World Health Organization under scrutiny as it walks China tightrope over coronavirus - CNN

Yes, Blame WHO for Its Disastrous Coronavirus Response

but let you tell it, none of this matters SIMPLY and ONLY because they're the highest authority in the land :hubie:

WHO is like the UN, a bunch of unqualified officials who are there so their countries will participate

Mostly wrong due to inference.....​


More than 7000 people from more than 150 countries work for the Organization in 150 WHO offices in countries, territories and areas, six regional offices, at the Global Service Centre in Malaysia and at the headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

In addition to medical doctors, public health specialists, scientists and epidemiologists, WHO staff include people trained to manage administrative, financial, and information systems, as well as experts in the fields of health statistics, economics and emergency relief.

They actually rely on scientists and researchers more than UN guidelines.​

You're not. people are posting links

Not one link has been posted that leads to a better source of information. They just criticize the decisions of WHO like armchair quarterbacks. They do, however, point-out that WHO's intel is only as good as the supplier. If the supplier hides/obfuscates information, like China did, then the decisions based on that info are going to be adjusted.....as has been the case since this started.​

Probably the fact that it causes permanent lung damage that one can never recover from physically.

That bases across the US have had outbreaks of the disease - and there is no confirmation that most people exposed to the disease create anti-bodies.
And that it causes a host of breathing problems.

Thecoli: "Listen to the science and the experts"

Me: "The facts is the Virus survival rate is 99%"

Thecoli: "It's airborne, on surfaces for days, contract it just breathing near a person, highly contagious, it's killing thousands"

Headlines from the experts read very rare..

That was rescinded and was only an "interim measure".........​


The ban on COVID-19 survivors joining up has lifted, but some cases could still be denied

The Pentagon has rescinded a policy released earlier this month that prevented recruits who had contracted COVID-19 from enlisting or earning a military commission, the Defense Department’s top manpower official told reporters Thursday.


What started as an all-out ban evolved into barring those who had been hospitalized after contracting the virus. And now it’s changed again. Matthew Donovan, defense under secretary for personnel and readiness, said during the press conference that he had canceled that guidance in favor of reverting back to pre-coronavirus accessions standards.

“At the same time, we’re having our health professionals and our doctors and researchers take a look at that and come up with any recommendations that they’ll provide to me and the [defense] secretary,” he said, adding that their final decision is forthcoming.

In the meantime, he said, the policy is to look at each recruit on a case-by-case basis. That means a full work-up by military entrance processing station doctors, with time of diagnosis, complications and recovery taken into account.

If there are any indications that a recruit hasn’t fully cleared the virus or is still suffering from complications, they could be prevented from moving on to initial entry training.


Donovan added that he had spent part of the morning on a call with Senate Armed Services Committee members concerned about the ban, after multiple lawmakers voiced concerns about the effects it would have on recruiting.

“If an individual can pass the Military Entrance Processing Station screening process ― despite a hospitalization for coronavirus ― they should be allowed to serve,” Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Arizona, wrote to Defense Secretary Mark Esper on May 12. “I agree that more research is needed to study the long-term effects of coronavirus on the human body. However, I do not think that the lack of research available warrants permanently disqualifying patriotic Americans from serving in the military.”

As public health experts and researchers race to find treatments, develop and vaccine and generally study the latest coronavirus, there is still a dearth of information on its short- and long-term effects.

I’m not one of these people who thinks I know more then experts and I very much get that it’s a new virus that is fluid and we’re learning more about it

but whithin the same day you have opinions changing and going from one extreme to the other whithin hours so it gets draining to know what is true and what isn’t anymore.

three. :gucci:

You posted articles from The Atlantic magazine, CNN, and ForeignPolicy.com.​

None of them are staffed with educated virologists, none of them have better sources of information, none of them are better advisors on how to deal with this pandemic. They ALL just criticize WHO......which is not what I asked for.
