CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

There's one saving grace.  The exposure of the U.N. WHO and the fork tongued Chinese regime.

The world won't be quite the same ever again.  It's the frontline medical teams my heart goes out to right across the planet.  There's a sobering lesson in that.

Ignoring the politics of funding, which is clearly corrupt, I was interested to hear a report by the BBC a couple of weeks back that pointed the finger at sovereign states for going rogue and not implementing the WHO recommendations. The BBC claim was that a reversion to self-preservation mode by sovereign states caused the problem to rapidly become much worse than it should have been. Not just China in trying to close down reporting, but all countries that stupidly thought closing the borders would solve the problem. The WHO's pre-established policy was basically defined as act quickly locally and send help quickly globally, none of it happened, it was willful global denial and something we should all now be very familiar with given we are gifted tweets and tweets of it almost hourly!

btw., That report said the crap is yet to hit the fan, 3rd world African and SE Asian nations are barely getting started in this crisis and if things don't change from June onward it will be pretty ordinary.

As for capitalism/commercialism, it looks like it's both the cause and the cure, are we surprised? Just take a look at how many rubbish "COVID-19 Test Kits" and "N95 Masks" are being returned, or have attempted to be returned, to various profiteering entities in recent weeks. Hard to see trust being restored in the short term, if ever.
