GENEVA — The head of the World Health Organization says the coronavirus outbreak is accelerating but insists “we can change the trajectory of this pandemic.”
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus noted that COVID-19 has now been reported in nearly every country in the world.
He said it was 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases; 11 days for the second 100,000 cases and just four days for the third 100,000 cases.
Tedros said he would speak with heads of state and government from the G20 countries, saying he would ask them to help increase production, avoid export bans, and ensure fair distribution of “lifesaving tools” that are facing a growing shortage.
He noted measures put in place to slow the spread of the virus may be exacerbating shortages of essential protective gear and the materials.
World Health Organization?
What the hell do they know?
Not a stable genius in the bunch.
“we can change the trajectory of this pandemic.”
Just like we can change the trajectory of climate change. We either hang together or hang alone.
My housebound mother-in-law is sewing as many masks as her little fingers (and her ancient Singer machines) will allow.
Time for Rosie the Riveter to become Mary (and Marty) the Maskmaker!

And the Covidiot-In-Chief wants Americans to get back to work after 14 days of Stay-At-Home because of the economy!
US is now ranked 3rd worldwide with Covid-19 infections = 35,241 while Italy has a total death toll of 5,476 as of this comment.
Does the Covidiot-In-Chief wants More Americans to die?
Addendum:
Apparently, Covidiot-In-Chief offered scarce testing kits to his BFFs in North Korea and Iran while Americans don’t have enough test kits to go around
Awesome! Tell her I admire and envy her. I want to do something and she is, keeping our frontline folks safe.
