well if you want to be sick just use it, I would rather do it at home.UN and WHO is not needed, huge money pits.
I am not optimistic about this thing ending quickly in the US. I guess we'll see how much damage you can do to your economy when you treat people as expendable. The social experiment continues.
Also, karma is a hilarious thing.

Before defunding and starting to dismantle the WHO, it would be a good Idea to have a look at what else they are doing besides all that current Pandemic stuff...and see whether all of that, or even just some of that work ( lets say on smallpox, ebola, and measles, for starters ? ) , can be continued without anymuch interruption .
There ARE good people in the world !

Despite it's flaws, the WHO is a bargain for the services it provides. I can't imagine any remotely plausible scenario where a world absent an international health system like the WHO doesn't cost almost every one currently funding the WHO way more than they are paying for the WHO.
At 70 and in Spain, it's hard to escape from this horrible virus.Chilean author Luis Sepulveda dies from Covid-19 in northern Spain

What will happen is they will be reformed, the defunding is just wake up call, we need the same regarding the UN.
Idk how many member States there are in WHO, but certainly more than one . I am waiting to see how that whole thing plays out, but there is a chance all the OTHER members will, after the initial Hubbubb, not be too fuzzed about one member dropping out . Or at least not allow the very same member who endagers a lot of very important work - and Lifes in the course btw. - by ill advised actions to reform the WHO to its own liking .
The United States deplored 2,569 deaths between 8:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday and the previous day at the same time.

Victor Davis Hanson: Coronavirus gut-check time – this information will help decide next steps
We are on the verge of learning a lot more about the virus that will result in as much disagreement as relief.
To answer this one, today the RIVM announced the results of a large-scale study antibody test study in the Netherlands. Their conclusions:
1) Approximately 3% of the population has detectable antibodies.
2) This results in an expected mortality of roughly 1% (compared with 0.1% of the flu).
3) It also means 'herd immunity' will be achieved only in many, many years so we can safely ignore that concept when making plans for the future.
So it basically confirms what common sense suggested: yes, number of cases are vastly underestimated, yes number of fatalities are underrated but not to the same extend, but no the mortality is still an order of magnitude higher than with the flu. The hospitals are filled for a reason.
No.
World wars, conflicts that go unresolved and pandemics are the money pits.
Seriously. This isn't hard.
Well that too!
Everything about that opening picture in the article is spectacularly funny, and that is before you realize they are serious. Just when I stop laughing I see something new in that shot and start all over.
I don’t get it? Non of those guys need a hair cut,
