China just restricted entry for foreigners.

The WHO did not recommend ANY SPECIFIC HEALTH MEASURES for travelers from Wuhan on 11 January 2020.

Also says that entry screening offers little benefit.

It says also to NOT restrict travel to out break areas as late as 27 Feb 2020.

Don't forget WHO consistently told countries to keep borders open to OUTBREAK AREAS & not bother with screening!

"WHO does not recommend any specific health measures for travellers to and from Wuhan, China. It is generally considered that entry screening offers little benefit."

The WHO recommended AGAINST any health measures for OUTBREAK areas & continued w/ this recommendation from 11 January until 27 February.

It then even said outbreak young at >100k cases. And then 2 wks later declared PANDEMIC.

And then u say, how come it BECAME PANDEMIC. How???

President Trump was CONDEMNED for banning flights to China & then his EU ban.

But the reality is who ISN'T SCREENING for entrants? Who ISN'T taking health measures?

Everyone is shutting borders. HK just did it. But it is too late by several months, says the WHO today.

Yep.

Also don't forget on top of keeping their policy recommendation of NO RESTRICTION TO OUTBREAK AREAS until they declare PANDEMIC, the WHO has told the world this:

And also today's new. Tedros went on TV to scold the world on SQUANDERING OPPORTUNITIES!!!

WHO today:

Tedros: “We squandered the first window of opportunity. The time to act was actually more than a month ago or 2 months ago."

Ryan: "If there’s any lesson from this pandemic, it’s that we need stronger public health systems,” on a national & GLOBAL level.

I concur.
