Anyone stuck in there is almost certainly doomed, but the rest of the world will be much safer this way. |
Remember in January when I said that the benefit of being an authoritarian dictatorship where the people have no rights will lead to them being able to have some containment?
Turns out that the WHO thinks all countries should be like this
Just barricade everyone in their homes! They're gonna die anyway right
Edit: A few days ago, they
praised countries like Hong Kong and Singapore for "measures that have not involved walling off cities or completely banning travel that have been very effective in both suppressing and driving transmission down."
So which is it?
To make matters worse, after all the pandering to China, possibly helping to make this a bigger threat than it needed to be, China is talking about making
their own version of the WHO.
