All this many many talk about because Trump cut fund to WHO it's going to affect Africa should stop! Haba!! For once make our head correct! During the time of Ebola in GEJ's regime no be we fight the disease headlong with our wonderful doctors?? Was that not the reason some western countries had to send their medical professionals to us for coaching on how we were able to curtail the disease??

Make Trump scatter everything let our leaders start thinking outside the box. For our information a recent news survey states that out of the no of doctors in the US Nigeria accounts for 70% also out of the number of PhD holders int the US Nigeria accounts for 4% as against the US citizens that is just 1%.

We get brains, na our leaders no get sense!! So make Trump continue to dabaru things so that dem go get sense
Nigeria does not account for 70% of doctors in the US, don't know where you heard that lie from.

WHO does not have a crystal ball, they work with in-country partners. They have their offices in Nigeria and all over the world and they were relying on the information given to them at that time.

If your stove catch fire and your neighbor call fire service and fire service come call you, but you come lie tell dem say na onions you dey fry....they will take it from you. Moreso true true when they drove by your house, there was no evidence of a fire.....and that is the best information the fire services have at that time and that is what they will disseminate.

But if they received more reports and make another drive through and start seeing smoke coming out from your window and you are still telling them that, it is the onions that you are frying, they are going to alert the world and start making shit to happen.

Trump and US CDC botched the process from start, WHO was only behind the A-ball by about a week, but they started acting immediately they knew and developed testing kits, while Trump & CDC were calling it a hoax and Trump shipping PPE materials and masks to China....even when the shit started hitting the fans in the US...instead of CDC to use the testing kits already produced by WHO, they say NO and went ahead to develop theirs in a hurry, sent it to the field and the thing started failing, CDC have to go back to square one....that dance alone around the test kits, set America back by one month compare to, if they had taken the WHO’s kit that everyone else is using and run with it.

Trump is looking for a scapegoating to blaming, because he has started feeling the heat of his initial in actions and his poll numbers have started drifting downward, so they have to get a diversion and who to blame it on....remember Trump said, he does not take responsibility.

this is very funny,
you mean to say WHO that lied about the infection rate of the covid 19 had already develeoped test kits?
is WHO really that confused?

Every sensible individual know that WHO in recent time has been sold to dogs. How can you explain WHO cover up? They deceive the world that the Chinese virus has no human to human transmission. Not just Trump, Australia is considering the same thing. Chin's can take over the funding the people in charge of WHO had been playing Chinese scrip since the inception of this Chinese virus. the doctor doctor that tried to warn the world about it was silence and made to sign a confession. The poor man eventually died taking care of infected patients.

Phase one human trials have started in NY & Boston, which are unrelated to WHO’s vaccine efforts, Germany, France and all these other countries have their going on....they are not waiting for WHO, but are even competing with it.

Nigeria doesn't deserve any donations or funding.

Trump is annoyed.

Trump needs to place the blame on China.

China in a way deserved it. They lied to WHO. They lied to the whole world. They simply do not want the adverse effect telling the truth will have on their economy. Imagine the whole world closing their borders to China. So China lied. The result is what we see.

Though a lot of people believe Trump got the info earlier and decided to downplay it- you know elections gotta be won.

So, here we are wearing masks, been afraid of a slight cough and social distancing while hunger is dealing with many of the populace.

As it is, someone must pay the price, and to Trump the WHO looks good. After all they told the world there is no risk of human to human interaction.



You are an adult, you should be able to think for yourself.
All scientific organizations work with current evidence because they are not
omniscient and they can't do guesswork.

The CDC said people shouldn't use mask initially, were they lying?

When US had just 15 cases everyone knows that it is transmitted person to person
but he promised the disease will disappear. Funny enough, no one seems to hold him
accountable.

I really need to know why we all assume the WHO should have doubted China's account of this novel virus.

Why should any normal country allow such a virus to spread?
In the history of epidemics and pandemics, no country has ever tried to lie about the spread of a disease and purposefully allowed it to spread all around the world like a wild fire.
So why would the WHO doubt China's account? Africans didn't lie about Ebola or tried to cover it up, Even the same China didn't lie about the SARS virus in 2003 (unless they did lots of cover ups and lies that the world didnt ever discover).
So why would the WHO doubt their account NOW and double check data given to them?
Meanwhile, I'm sure the WHO has an office in China, filled with Chinese people who would only do the bidding of their communist government.
China gave the world a dirty blow, and WHO was also used as a pawn in China's shenanigans.
There should be a code of conduct to be respected amongst governments and every normal person would think global health should be prioritized by all nations, but we only realised too late that China is raving maddd....
Anyway, before I talk too much, why do you blame the WHO?

He downplayed it and did not act quickly but i remember many people calling him a racist when he made US the first major country to place restrictions of any kind on Chinese travel. By that logic even his critics did not see this Pandemic coming. He is clearly trying to deflect attention but that doesnt mean questions shouldnt be asked about the way the WHO handled this.

China has been secretive about everything and the WHO kept reassuring the world that they were dealing with authentic numbers, the United States Funds them and should ask questions. I personally believe the WHO allowed political correctness to dictate their handling of the Covid19 outbreak, rather than stand up to the fact that China was clearly lying about many key details of the Virus outbreak.
This is a joke.
The WHO is not the world police.
It has never stand up to anyone.
It works with whatever country reports to it.


Scientists are not omniscient, they can't see the future.
You work with current evidence, that is science.

The CIA told Trump about the impending catastrophe in November, December and
January but he did nothing because he doesn't want to harm his reelection bid.
Let us agree the Chinese are lying and the US always believe whatever China tell them,
when Wuhan was locked down, what stopped other countries from locking down, or is that also a secret.

Even now, some are still claiming China is lying, how does that stop any country from doing whatever they like?



Um, nope unless any other country can somehow protect EUROPE, Pick up the UNITED NATIONS funding, NATO funding, replace HOLLYWOOD and Have so many Nuclear Allies all over the world that will always be at your beckon and call even when you're clearly the bad guy and can still rain a Sheetload of Freedom from The first and second greatest Air Forces on the Planet. Nope nobody not even china can fill that gap, their navy and influence is purely regional
Europe can protect itself and it is not under the threat of being occupied.
Trump think Europe is a parasite sucking America's money but people who
are far smarter than he would ever be developed the current policy because
they see the benefit for the US.

Hollyhood is useless in the scheme of things.
Sure, it help spread pro-American propaganda of a utopia to the barely literate population of the world
but the decision-makers are more interested in money.

The British didn't have a Hollywood when it was in charge.
America status is basically their military and the dollar, nothing more.


Actually it is a well proven fact that China also covered up the SARS Epidemic even misleading the entire world on its severity for a full calendar year. Right now everyone is saying "listen to the experts" these same WHO experts who swallowed China's Lie hook line and sinker? They said that Trump's actions at that time were a bit immature, and did little to help. it is not only the US but other Western countries like France Italy UK and Germany that have been affected, what about the governments of these countries? have they also failed? the simple Answer is NO because I believe they acted based on WHO information which was not relaible when the world needed it to be.

It was also a well-proven that Iraq has WMD.
You don't conclude based on ignorance.
No country really acts based on WHO recommendation, each chooses its own action
based on its peculiar circumstance.

That is why no country leader is attacking WHO but Trump.
Ecuador's president did not even believe the virus is real and I don't see WHO soldiers
marching to invade the country.

Till date, Sweden has done nothing to stop the spread of the virus, are they waiting on WHO?

You forgot to add countries which acted quickly; South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan to stop the spread,
aren't they member of the WHO?


China will always be an Economic giant but the world is run by treaties and alliances not just money, old alliances last and when the chips are down America always has Institutions and to rely upon for survival, the ICC, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL where their closest allies readily rally to support any motionput forward.
You are mistaken like others who think the world is static.
The power of the future will not be the one with the most nuclear warhead but the one who can trade most.
There is no such thing as old alliance, Brexit should have made that clear.
Countries will choose to do what is best for themselves.
An alliance is either useful or not.
If it wasn't clear before now, the Ukraine debacle has opened many country's
eye to the fact that America will throw anyone under the bus for domestic policy.
So, the trust is gone.
The last American alliance ends with the Iraq war.
No country follows America's lead anymore.


who does China have? their neighbours are already US allies and Russia isnt exactly a very close ally, they also seek the throne too. Trump can only change policies for 8 years after which another globalist may take reign and its back to business for them again
Let us see the US allies.
Vietnam whose largest trade is with China.
South Korea will never go to war against China due to North Korea's threat.
Taiwan whose existence is tied to the US, not really an ally.
Or is it India with an independent foreign policy.

Well, maybe it is Japan, the spent force with a declining population.
China doesn't have "allies" but that is hardly a problem as long as they can trade.

The world has moved on, the business has changed and most powerful countries
have accepted the fact.
America is the last global power.

I was on leave when this incident broke early January and it was clear to me that this thing will be worse than SARS. A good month passed and the WHO did nothing but useless press conferences everyday. It was when I returned to operations in February they reluctantly agreed to label it a pandemic and only after European countries began to make a racket.

Trump was equally slow to react like a good number of countries but you simply cannot expect the primary global health watchdog to be so tardy. They should be experts for goodness sake.

Re: Coronavirus: Trump Is Defunding WHO. "How It Will Affect Africa" by Nobody: 2:40am On Apr 17, 2020
Interesting debate.

When trump banned travel from China, other countries were still sleeping.
If not that the politicians decided to play politics with human lives.
I remembered how the new York governor packed all the test kits sent to new York by trump in a warehouse.
Nancy went to China town to gallivante.
If your elected officials u rely on for news downplayed it,I wonder what they want the people to do. Downplay it too!
In USA the states mostly hit were democrats. One particular governor banned chloroquine as soon as trump officially said it should be used. All because of politics.

UK for example were downplaying this especially in London not until they started seeing Boris always coughing with terrible red nose when he tested positive they became serious. They became super serious when he was forced into intensive care.
Boris himself didn't take it serious at first. No world leader did even if u have Intel. Its even because of info from intel that trump banned chinese into coming to america.The only world leaders that took this serious were friends of China( if u understand what that means)
There is an official organisation that the world will listen to and it's WHO.
China under reported the death. Presently more that 20 thousands died in China before middle of March and it was never reported.
If u live outside Nigeria and have a good Chinese friend, let the person tell u what's happening in china. U will be shocked to the marrow.

When USA requested to officially go into China and investigate with their scientific team, China rejected that.
Saying there is no cause for alarm.

Hate him cos of his sassy mouth or actions but we are in the know how of what is happening because of that man. Had he chosen to overlook and hide all the lapses, we all will absolve China from this heavy mess and even praise who or give them accolade for job well done.
Had he been the politically correct type, by now, Nigeria would have recorded 10 thousand deaths and still counting.
Also, have we forgotten when China started blaming American soldiers that they came into China to infect them? Gosh, that country has a lot to answer.
That Nigerian govt is on lockdown is not actually what they want to do but we're compelled to do. What Nigerian govt want to do is exactly what is happening in the north and world leaders are afraid that if there is an epidemic in countries like Nigeria and India, it will affect the world more than what is currently happening in the West.
Sometimes it's good to leave our hatred behind and use facts on ground. This is human lives. We can continue with the hatred after we all have contributed to save lives.

And so what?
Is the virus not a new strain of coronavirus called covid 19 at that time were scientist not still studying the virus and they were not yet sure of how the virus spreads did WHO not later retract their statement.
What of the other countries that have been able to handle this pandemic what stopped almighty America from doing same.The reason is because Trump messed up

It is their money, their choice!

WHO is the 'paid' global health expert and nobody is going to keep 'paying' them to 'retract a fucccking statement' as an action against a global pandemic. People like me, an ignorant mathematician, should be retracting statements about health issues, not the faucking WHO!

You are obviously bent on proving that Trump messed up even amidst proof that he acted early to apply the first 'social distance' against China but was reprimanded by your ilks calling him names. You are creating a false dichotomy between 'acting early to stop the virus spread and 'stopping all flights from China in January, 2020'.
And, the 'watchdog' he was paying to alert the world was busy downplaying the dangers and 'watching out' for Chinese interest.
Personally, I think you are a good person but your position on this particular issue is wrong.
Is the 'cover up' by WHO not already affecting Africa already?
Trump rightly feels the world was deceived by Chinese cover up of the pandemic under the watchful eyes of WHO, who ironically should have done it's role to alert the world of the coming danger.
So because he 'pays' their bills and they may have done a bad job, he is deciding to "review" the funding. Wouldn't you do same under similar conditions?
As of the point about affecting Africa, when will this "Africa" begin to carry it's own weight and fix it's issues without depending on handouts from countries that are busy "sharing" it's resources?
China was as recently as 50yrs ago in the same poverty bucket as Africa but now the same China has joined the Europeans on the "chop Africa" global dining table.
China being completely undemocratic will chop up Africa in a more severe manner than the Europeans who still have some leash of democracy and may be, religious morality.
Summary, Trump is not putting up with 'bad service' from WHO-ever and that doesn't make him 'bad' at least, on this specific issue! He cannot "always" be wrong and a bad person. Gracias!

Oh dear, get your fact right.
When trump banned international flights from China, your country and other countries where still sleeping. He was called a crazy man as usual. Democrats governors defied his order. Mayor of new York laughed in his face, Nancy went to gallivante in China town.
It was an eyesore. A governor even banned the use of chloroquine in her state simply because Trump endorsed it. CNN was busy attacking trump instead of doing investigative journalism. It was an eyesore.
I never knew American politicians are this wicked.
All the six or 7 most affected states were democrats.
In fact, even if its for their own good and that of their loved ones, Nigerian opposition parties tried.
Had the democrats complied with the laid down rules, America wouldn't have had it this bad.
But the funny thing is that Americans are strongly with trump on this .opinion polls are swinging in his favour.

Not everybody is biased

Oh dear, get your fact right.
When trump banned international flights from China, your country and other countries where still sleeping. He was called a crazy man as usual. Democrats governors defied his order. Mayor of new York laughed in his face, Nancy went to gallivante in China town.
It was an eyesore. A governor even banned the use of chloroquine in her state simply because Trump endorsed it. CNN was busy attacking trump instead of doing investigative journalism. It was an eyesore.
I never knew American politicians are this wicked.

You are an adult, you should be able to think for yourself.
All scientific organizations work with current evidence because they are not
omniscient and they can't do guesswork.

The CDC said people shouldn't use mask initially, were they lying?

When US had just 15 cases everyone knows that it is transmitted person to person
but he promised the disease will disappear. Funny enough, no one seems to hold him
accountable.


What should he have said? That everyone is going to die? When USA had 15 cases, we all knew it was bobo because test kits were not available. If you've been to New York, Chicago or any major metropolitan area and see how people live, you would know majority of people in those areas are doomed. The beauty of the USA is that governors are almost as powerful as the president, everyone goofed up, they did not take it seriously until it turned into a disaster.
