These So Called Experts

@SW-User This is true.

You do make a valid point, but when it comes to our lives on the line, let them be upfront and honest. I truly believe people would be alive today, if they had given us the truth from the start and not fudge the truth because of wanting to be a cheerleader or engage in political correctness. @SW-User

@Carissimi Or worry about ratings!!

I would think those who have lost loved ones would care. I care, for one. They could have saved lives and suffering...because this disease causes great suffering when severe... if they had been up front in the beginning.

I used my own common sense from way back, and bought my masks before the sh*t hit the fan, having just recovered from the flu and bronchitis, at that time. I was taking no chances once I knew it was in this country. @TheFlippantSide

@Carissimi That's not what I meant. I mean, why get offended by public health officials' attempts to keep people safe? "Common sense" doesn't always cut the mustard. I'm in the medical field and constantly having to educate people on taking proper precautions, and I'm surprised at a lot of the misinformation I come across.

What I meant is...who cares about appeasing anyone's delicate sensibilities? People need to get over themselves and quit being so sensitive about things. It's not about you.

They will not recognize that Taiwan exists. They will not even talk about it when asked, even in a pandemic. They tout the Chinese propaganda, which is their first priority. Fortunately for Taiwan, because WHO won’t include them, or even recognize them, in this pandemic, the Taiwanese developed their own preventive measures very early, and have only had 5 deaths so far. @Entwistle The WHO is a political mouthpiece for China in the guise of a health organization.

@Carissimi For as far as I'm aware... the US doesn't recognise Taiwan since 1979. They do still have deals with Taiwan for trade (and even arms). But Taiwan isn't officially recognised.

And in an article from 2019 in Newsweek... they say only 14 nations in the UN (193 nations in total) recognise Taiwan as a sovereign nation. Namely: [i]Belize, Eswatini, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Tuvalu.[/i]

Since the WHO is an organisation that works under the UN banner, and the UN is an organisation that fully depends on what their 193 member states think... maybe you shouldn't bring this up as an argument? 🙄

I’m not bringing anything up as an argument. I don’t want to argue. There is a fu**ing pandemic going on. You asked a question. I responded. Your type makes me sick. No matter how bad it gets, you want to argue. Get some character and empathy, you weasel. @Kwek00

It’s unbelievable! The rest of us have known this for at least 2-months. @Harriet03

WHOM? no pic here ?@Harriet03

If I remember correctly, it’s the Governor of Georgia, who said he just found out that there are asymptomatic carriers. Most of us have known this since before it reached Europe and our own shores. @NiightOwl

Tell those who lost their lives, and their families to stay calm. This PC and untruths lost lives. @SteelHands
