** 11-Feb-2020 World View: Coronavirus Covid-19
You're right that the WHO has been sucking up to the Chinese. The
American CDC doesn't suck up to the Chinese, so they weren't allowed
to go to Wuhan, but WHO has been allowed, probably under strict
supervision by Chinese "minders." (The WHO delegation supposed will
contain some CDC scientists.)
And you make a good point that it was OK to use the name MERS for the
Middle Eastern virus, but not OK to use Wuhan in the name of the Wuhan
virus, which is now officially called Coronavirus Covid-19.
News reports on Tuesday have been extremely schizophrenic, flipping
back and forth between calling it a major international crisis on the
one hand versus a peaking crisis on the other hand. Nobody really
knows.
