If facilitating communication is the WHO's job then they should be lined against the wall and shot for gross incompetence. The amount of intentional misinformation taken as gospel is beyond anything in the last half century (at the very least). It's been 3 weeks since the story broke out and we keep getting new information that were in all due likelihood known to the Chinese authorities a month ago. There is no excuse except economic reasons, and if that's the thing that keeps the WHO from functioning then the whole organization is obsolete and should be disbanded.

A co-worker has a theory that WHO is sucking China's proverbial dick so the Chinks will allow their workers in, who will then have enough freedom to eventually reveal how bad things really are once they're out.
 
Imagine being more dishonest and exceptional than actual Communists.

Now that's interesting. If they broaden the approach for confirmed cases, they'd have to actually test more people with light symptoms.
Are they able to do that? Is there enough manpower? Hasn't the local hospital system been collapsed already for weeks?
Are the labs able to put out more than 2.000 to 3.000 confirmations a day?

The numbers have been more or less within the same range of newly confirmed cases per day. We should see a strong increase within the next days then, if the promises made to/by the WHO are more than appeasement.

Today we crossed a new landmark: That of 1000 deaths.

I don't believe the Chinese to be able to work out the question of diagnoses for everybody who needs one without more help.
How different the patients of known and suspected cases have been handled abroad!

The Chinese government assured the WHO to work with them. Help could have been given but seemingly it still has been rejected.
 
Hubei Communist Party officials sacked

The two most senior health officials in Hubei have been sacked, state media said on Tuesday, as pressure mounts over the way local authorities have handled the epidemic.

Zhang Jin, the Communist Party boss of the provincial health commission in Hubei, and its director Liu Yingzi have been removed from their positions, reported state broadcaster CCTV, after a decision by the province's party committee on Monday.

The area has found itself at the centre of a coronavirus outbreak that has killed more than 1,000 people and infected over 42,000 across China since December.

Local officials have faced mounting pressure for perceived incompetence – particularly after the death of a doctor in the provincial capital Wuhan who was punished for raising the alarm about the new virus.

Deputy director of National Health Commission Wang Hesheng will take over the two roles, said CCTV.

In another sign of personnel changes at ground zero of the outbreak, senior Beijing official Chen Yixin has been sent to Wuhan to guide epidemic control work.

Chen – a former deputy party chief of Hubei – has been appointed deputy head of a central government group dispatched to the province, according to a report from the health commission on its WeChat account.

Analysts have said local authorities played down the extent of the outbreak in early January because they were holding political meetings at the time and wanted to project an image of stability.

Hubei remains on virtual lockdown to curb the spread of the virus.

Local Communist Party secretary Ma Guoqiang acknowledged last week that officials had worsened the spread by failing to restrict travel earlier.

Wuhan authorities also faced criticism in January for going ahead with an annual public banquet for 40,000 families just days before the city was placed on lockdown.

Other manpower changes have been taking place in the province, including the removal of a top Red Cross official in Wuhan for dereliction of duty. (AFP)

FAR more than a day late and a dollar short. China's house needs to be cleaned, starting with Emperor Xi.

Emperor Xi must be sitting at his desk and wondering why he ever wanted this job.

Consider the following. Hong Kong is a mess and the CCP doesn't know what to do, at least without instantly pissing off most of the rest of the world. The CCP really doesn't know what to do about their Muslims except to put them in camps. Doable for now but what about over the long term?

Now, the CCP response to the Wuhan Flu has been fucked up on more levels than a person can count. Xi has made himself look like a wimp by meeting people in...Beijing. Uh, that's hundreds of miles from Wuhan. Xi sends underlings. NOT the actions of a leader. Xi's going to have serious problems very soon in provisioning the locked-down areas. REAL smart to quarantine your trash collectors. They are the front line against vermin. Wonder if some numb-nuts CCP functionary will start quarantining electric power plant/natural gas distribution workers, as well as oil refinery/distribution employees.

I simply don't think Xi really knows what to do, inside his CCP worldview. Gotta say a Trump or a Putin would have taken a different approach instead of first apprehending the doctors giving the alarm. They would have had the latest info and not allowed the mega-potluck. They would have demanded accurate statistics. They would have poured people and resources in Wuhan as soon as it was apparent the local health apparatus was faltering. US military VERY good at deploying top-notch field hospitals. Believe the Russians could do much the same.

One way you'll be able to tell when things in China are fucked up beyond any telling of it is when China asks and welcomes any type of aid from any other country. That time might not be that far off. Unless someone here tells me differently, believe China is very close to being overwhelmed not just by the Wuhan Flu, but the ongoing disruptions to people's support services, not to mention the overall economic losses. The Chinese economy was sputtering some before the Wuhan Flu. This means increasing first-order and second-order deaths. Neither a pleasant thing to think about, much less say.

It's more of an indicator to me like the real fears of oil sliding down to $30 a barrel.
It has to be much worse than reported if we are getting reports of firings, normally I would have expected the CCP to just disappear them with a hand wave and mild excuse. It smells like a 'oh shit they were lying to the Party about how bad it is' combined with a 'people are really pissed about us killing that doctor who did nothing wrong'.

He's still pretty forgiving, if i was him i would just cut all of it for the spectacular show of incompetence they've shown this past month, everyone knew the 22nd of january that this shit was very serious and they went "lel don't care it's just the flu and china is numba one to contain it" from the beginning and had to get their nipple twisted many times to actually start saying the most mundane and maybe usefull shit to the masses, and then NOT even preventing travels for another 2 weeks or giving the advice to not travel, because "muh economy bro, citizen of the world cannot not travel bro, it will probably spread anyway so, we don't agree with travel bans, don't be smart please." now look at the consequences, cruise ship entered china's docks and got passenger infected on board, Brits, americans and Chinese travelled everywhere and spread it across the world and asymptomatic super spreaders has done a magnificent job, when the WHO had all the data between their hands and the asymptomatic shit was known from early as the 24 / 25 , or at least suspected by Gabriel Leung that is PART of the WHO lol, (but they didn't listen to him) GOOD fucking Job.

Should be shut down and replaced by something entirely new. Actually put Gabriel Leung at the head of the WHO he warned early on of the seriousness of this shit.

Thank you Dr. Purr, very cool.

Hey, If this beginning of the year wasn't bad enough lol, a 3000 foot asteroid is approaching earth ! Let's just hope it falls on China...

Even if it doesn't, let's take this chance and just nuke em and blame it on the asteroid ! :story:
Looks like we're ok on that front. Now back to worrying about Wu flu, whatever new disease the vermin all over Wuhan end up spreading (nice job killing those cats assholes), that mystery disease in Africa and whatever else is trying to kill us this week.

Great empires fall under the weight of environmental, human, or economic factors. China now faces all of them at once.

World order collapse imminent.
 
It's become very clear that the WHO has basically been captured as a propaganda arm of the CCP. Surprised they don't make an animated short along the lines of "Eurodame, Help!" about how quarantines are racist fearmongering. Expect a lot more of this from here on out: (on mobile, won't let me post image)
