and still here's the head of @WHO, @DrTedros, today parroting the official Communist Chinese gov't line:

Two vital points in the timeline of COVID-19 (Wuhan Coronavirus as it was then):

1) @WHO quoting "Chinese authorities" on Jan 14: no "human to human transmission"

2) As late as Jan. 29: @WHO "WHO advises against the application of any restrictions of international traffic"
The Chinese gov't used @WHO to pass along its false or misleading information that clearly led to the spread of the virus.
Here's are the links to that @WHO report and those tweets:

"To Understand the Wuhan Coronavirus, Look to the Epidemic Triangle"

The @nytimes originally labeled its interactive map the "Wuhan Coronavirus Map." It is now just the "Coronavirus Map."
Deleted this tweet...I think I am wrong about this part. Trying to pin down when the change took place:

I don't think people are mystified. It's obvious the support is pragmatic. Non-evangelicals see evangelical support of Trump as confirmation of the stereotype of the Christian hypocrite, & evangelicals like myself who do not support Trump are disappointed with the opportunism.
Even if you believe Pres. Trump is being used by God (as all rulers are in God's sovereignty,) there is no scriptural basis for the kind of enthusiastic, proactive, uncritical, obsequious support that is shown by far too many evangelicals for Pres. Trump.
Nathan, John the Baptist, the Apostle Paul, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego - they publicly called rulers to account for ungodly behavior, and they were all under totalitarian/monarchical systems of gov't.

#China and the #WHO's chief: Hold them both accountable for pandemic👍

Tedros turned a blind eye to what happened in #Wuhan & in China & after meeting with Xi in January, has helped China to play down the severity & scope of the #coronavirus outbreak
thehill.com/opinion/intern…
From the outset, Tedros defended China despite its gross mismanagement of #coronavirus. As cases & deaths soared, WHO took months to declare the outbreak as a pandemic, even though it had met the criteria of transmission between people, high fatality rates & worldwide spread.
When Trump took a critical step to stop coronavirus at US borders by issuing a travel ban on Jan. 31, Tedros said widespread travel bans & restrictions were not needed to stop the outbreak & could “have the effect of increasing fear & stigma, with little public health benefit”

Airport Screening can be an Additional Layer of Defense

but once there is Evidence of Local Transmission with this new Virus we need to have a Low Threshold for Shutting Down the Flights

Italy should be shutdown

Inviting new Seeds in is Risky

#Italy is dialing up #SocialDistancing measures to Slow the Spread and Buy Time

#Seattle / #Washington area and #NorthernCalifornia likely should do the same right now.

Acting EARLY amplifies the benefits of the counter-measures

Buying Time is the Game

#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).

1. The Trump-Fox feedback loop is dangerous in part because the network's hosts float conspiracy theories and bullshit that could panic the president if he's watching, with terrible consequences. We seem to have really dodged a bullet there this week. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/1…
2. There's an Ebola outbreak right now in Congo, with more than 2,000 confirmed cases. As they did during the 2014 outbreak, far-right conspiracy sites like Infowars and Gateway Pundit have been warning that undocumented immigrants crossing the Mexican border could be infected.
3. On Monday night, that conspiracy theory jumped to to Laura Ingraham's Fox News show. Her millions of viewers were exposed to fearmongering about the "public health concern" of Ebola-infected Congolese refugees spreading the disease in San Antonio.
