It's been a long time since I've posted anything .

Many americans need to read the facts and not just listen to what a racist president says as he blatantly twists the truf to justify his own goals.

The WHO says it was told by China of "a pneumonia of an unknown cause" on 31 December 2019.

On 12 January, China publicly shared the genetic sequence for the new coronavirus.

On 20 and 21 January, a regional WHO team visited Wuhan.

A public statement was issued by the WHO on 22 January setting out what they had discovered.

On 28 January, Dr Tedros went to Beijing to discuss the outbreak with China's leaders.

On 14 January, the WHO tweeted: "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission."

But the same day, the head of the WHO's emerging diseases unit, Maria van Kerkhove, appeared to contradict this, suggesting to journalists that "limited" human-to-human transmission had been observed in Wuhan. She did however stress that there was no clear evidence of "sustained" transmission between people.

It wasn't until 22 January that the WHO confirmed there was clear evidence of human-to-human transmission in Wuhan.

The WHO has denied media reports that it delayed making this evidence public at China's request.

The US restricted travel from China and other countries from 2 February.

But there is no record of the WHO publicly criticising this move.

And it would have been highly unusual for it to do so.

But it had, on 10 January, put out advice recommending no international travel restrictions in response to the virus.

And this was reconfirmed in a statement at the end of February, saying travel bans were not usually that effective and could have an adverse social and economic impact, although they might be justified for a short period of time at the start of an outbreak.

It's certainly the case that the WHO has publicly praised China's response to the coronavirus outbreak and its "commitment to transparency", something that has clearly angered the US president in recent weeks.

However, many other experts and political leaders, including Mr Trump, have also praised China's initial response to the outbreak.

The big difference between trump praising china and the WHO praising china is that trump had intelligence reports warning him how bad the virus could be and that it was probably coming to the usa while he was prasing china for doing such a good job.

Can't someone tell that moron there is no such organized group as Antifa?

I have heard over the years of groups calling themselves antifa, but it doesn't sound like that is what trump is talking about. He probably doesn't know what the word means.

I agree with you, for what that is worth, though the Trump supporters on this site tend to be much more vocal than the ones who don't so this may be a not very well received rant.

I have posted on my Facebook wall urging people to register to vote. The more people who are registered, the less likely Trump is to win, or at least he seems to think so.

Do you know how the skeletons of dinosaurs were out together in museums? I only learnt today. None of the skeletons use actual bones. The supposed bones are locked away so no one can see them. From one tooth they guessed what the entire dinosaur looked like and just made the whole thing up. Its absolute crazy.

But i dont expect you to believe me. I didnt at first.

I think most people would believe you because it's absolutely true that they don't drill holes into real fossils so that they can put them together for people's viewing pleasure.

They do put fossils on display though, they're usually in a separate case, unassembled.

Do you have an example of a dinosaur where they guessed what it looked like from a single tooth? Because as far as I know if they only had a single tooth then they would just have a single tooth of an unknown dinosaur.

Warning from the BBC NEWS: 5Gbioshields are bogus.

I just checked out a webpage for one out of curiosity...they are not cheap either. You can also tell it's a scam from the "science and research page." It's total fake science bs. Ugh.

It makes me mad. Really mad.

And it makes me sad too because I can picture my mom falling for something like this. She's on the gullible side. I'm glad she doesn't pay attention to such things.

It's like those scams where people in India or something would pretend to be from the IRS and trick old people into giving them their credit card info.

Predators, and they're probably involved in hyping up the 5G fear.

Feeling the words of the Dahar Master...

I am slowly...very slowly trying to get into DS9. I'm like ten eps into the first season and it just seems a lot slower than TNG and the original series.

We're all getting old unfortunately.
