** 02-Mar-2020 World View: WHO: This virus is not influenza
I'm getting really annoyed by seeing smooth-talking males and sweetly
smiling sexy girls explaining to the TV audience that there is nothing
to worry about because hundreds of thousands of people get the
ordinary seasonal flu each other, and 50,000 or so die each year.
Therefore, they conclude, coronavirus is no different than ordinary
flu.
That's obviously an open-mouth lie.
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus gave a press briefing
today:
So if you ignore the pretty smiles and soothing, reassuring words,
then that's where we really are.

- If Coronavirus were just like the ordinary flu, then why has
China quarantined tens of millions of people? And why is China's
economy near collapse, with millions of businesses shut down?
- If Coronavirus were just like the ordinary flu, then why did the
Japanese quarantine the Diamond Princess cruise ship for weeks, and
why is Japan considering canceling the Tokyo Olympics?
- If Coronavirus were just like the orginary flu, then why is every
country in the world setting up travel restrictions, forbidding large
gatherings of people, and quarantining many people, even those who
haven't yet shown symptoms?
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus gave a press briefing
today:
Quote: "The epidemics in the Republic of Korea, Italy, Iran
and Japan are our greatest concern. This is a unique virus, with
unique features. This virus is not influenza. We are in uncharted
territory."
So if you ignore the pretty smiles and soothing, reassuring words,
then that's where we really are.
