GENEVA — The head of the World Health Organization has warned that “the worst is yet ahead of us” in the coronavirus outbreak, raising new alarm bells about the pandemic just as many countries are beginning to ease restrictive measures.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus didn’t specify why he believed that the outbreak that has infected nearly 2.5 million people and killed over 166,000, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University, could be even worse.
Tedros also alluded to the so-called Spanish flu in 1918 as a reference for the coronavirus outbreak.
“It has a very dangerous combination and this is happening in hundred years for the first time again, like the 1918 flu that killed up to 100 million people,” he told reporters in Geneva. “But now we have technology, we can prevent that disaster, we can prevent that kind of crisis.”
“Trust us. The worst is yet ahead of us,” he said. “Let’s prevent this tragedy. It’s a virus that many people still don’t understand.”
Sorry, was he referring to COVID-19 or Donald Trump?
Did anyone else notice that no one, including WHO Director-General Ghebreyesus, thanked Dr. Cadet Toadglans mit der Bone Spurs in any of their shoutouts during Saturday’s “One World: Together At Home” concert? That surely must’ve driven the very unhinged “very stable genius” nuts. Poor bastard.
Obviously depriving the WHO of funding was not a stern enough measure to crush their spirit and make them slink away. Very powerful, beautiful, fantastic incredible punishments will have to be levied.
Tom Cotton is working on options now.
Cue Donald Trump in 3 months…no one ever told us the worst was ahead of us. If I’d known that, I would have never let the Governors open their states. Oh well, so long as we understand it’s all their fault.
If the only public figures you trust are Donald Trump and Jesus Christ, it won’t matter what some foreigner says.
