THREAD / In this time of global crisis, I did a ROUGH, UNOFFICIAL English translation of last night's remarks by Jérôme Salomon, the director of the French national health service, in which he called on France to START SOCIAL DISTANCING. via @YouTube
2x JS: At the end of January, the World Health Organization declared that the Covid-19 epidemic was a worldwide public health emergency. At the start of March, the director of the World Health Organization confirmed that we are facing a pandemic. Today, we now have +153,000
3x JS: confirmed cases in the world, and 63,000 have recovered. China represents 53 percent of these cases and outside China the epidemic is moving rapidly, 72,000 cases, which is about 47 percent.

De nuevo: NO salgan a comprar x pánico, TAPABOCAS o cubrebocas. NINGUNA autoridad médica recomienda su uso salvo que:
1. Seas trabajador del sector salud.
2. Presentes síntomas
3. Así te lo mande una autoridad médica

Antes de reclamarme, lee todo el hilo, por favor. #COVIDー19
Es importante que sepan que usar mal el tapabocas, no solo NO AYUDA ayuda sino que puede EMPEORAR la tasa de contagio.

El tapabocas quirúrgico que vemos en todas las series de TV, NO filtra partículas virales de fuera (el ambiente) hacia dentro (ustedes).
Ese tapabocas fue registrado por uso por primera vez, por el Dr. Berger, en Paris, en 1897. Su causa de uso: tratar de disminuir las infecciones en pacientes en quirófano previniendo que los médicos y personal, contaminaran al paciente abierto (campo quirúrgico).

World Health Organization praises China in its ability to handle Coronavirus / #COVID2019.

“If I got Coronavirus, I would want to be treated in China.” - Special Envoy to China (WHO)

Seriously dude???

businessinsider.com/what-works-to-…
The World Health Organization, the same one that still won’t call it a pandemic, the same one that says China is great at handling #COVID2019 ...

Has done absolutely NOTHING about the outbreak.

The WHO has done nothing to secure borders. Or get actual medical investigators IN
The WHO only true contribution to this entire event:

They made sure it wasn’t called “Wuhan Coronavirus” because, stigma.

Crowning Achievement: Naming it “COVID-19”

That’s it. Oh, and making sure China’s government was PRAISED

⚠️ AIR TRAVEL UPDATE: The World Health Organization (WHO) had up until 2/17/2020 been confident in its position that restricted air travel is NOT necessary with #COVID, and pointed to the IATA website with their support.

Today, that link no longer exists on IATA.

Instead... —>
Instead, the IATA points back to the WHO website, which now has posted an “Aviation Handbook” related to generic infectious diseases from the year 2015.

Granted the policies may still be the same, but it appears LAZY.

Link to WHO handbook:
apps.who.int/iris/rest/bits…
As far as I can detect, the WHO is still not recommending any travel restrictions... because, STIGMA.

It’s time for leaders of health agencies to drop the snowflake stance and act like they know what they are doing.

Or admit to the public that they don’t.
