WHO Now Urging World Leaders To Stop Using Lockdowns As The Primary Virus Control Method

News.com.au: Coronavirus: WHO backflips on virus stance by condemning lockdowns 

Lockdowns have been used to control the coronavirus around the world, plunging millions of lives into chaos. 

Now the WHO has changed its mind. 

The World Health Organisation has backflipped on its original COVID-19 stance after calling for world leaders to stop locking down their countries and economies. 

 Dr. David Nabarro from the WHO appealed to world leaders yesterday, telling them to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method” of the coronavirus. 

He also claimed that the only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty – with no mention of the potential lives saved. 

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said. 


Update: Dr. David Nabarro, the World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19, is now urging world leaders to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method" for blunting the current virus surge. Why is this story not the top news story in the news media right now?

Everything is a huge conspiracy to dummies
all rather simple: at first, lockdowns useful. Then, economies suffering, lockdowns might be dispensed with BUT MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING NEEDED.

Dear 2:01

1:57 was trolling. He was being sarcastic and is a leftwing agitator. You purposefully did not get the sarcasm or maybe you could not recognize, because you are old. Old people often have that problem. If it is the former, then maybe 1:57 and 2:10 are the same 'clever' (air quotes) person.

You (2:01) are trolling on your reply of "lockdowns useful ". Many if not msot conservatives have said they were needed. The argue that they were needs for 2 to 3 weeks to keep the hospitals from getting overwhelmed. After that, they believe that it is just a social tool for politicians to check out how much shit they can get away with and also to hurt the economy on purpose for political ends.

Interesting fact is that you are fuzzy in your statement of "lockdowns useful". You never put a stake in the stand and say how many weeks.

2 weeks?
3 weeks?
4 weeks?
2 months?
4 months?

You do not want to be tied down so that you do not look have to defend your knowledge or judgment.

Also, I suspect you have a problem with numbers. You are innumerate.

I'd say the world's learning curve is flattening out some but there is much to be figured out.
