Okay. Better late than never. Really...? Well, maybe not if being late is the system by which somebody plays constantly, making him being late every time. All the time. Always.

Honestly said in all this virus story I cannot recall a single information they gave or a single action of theirs or a single role they played or a single suggestion they made, that was not useless, late, pointless, or even simply wrong.

Such a WHO I have no use for. Havce they achieved, contributed anything useful so far? All studies that I got aware of in media who confirmed something or found something of constructive value, would have gotten there without a WHO as well, sicne they started their work without the WHO anyway. And when they presneted their findings, the wHo often ignored or delayed it.


By tendency, I would voice the same criticism about the Germ,an Robert Koch Institute. Things went well in Germany so far - but I feel not due to the RKI, but despite the RKI.

I am princirpally cirtical of multi-naitonal big bureaucratruic mionster organisaiton loike the UN and here the WHO. And the WHO once again confirmed my scepticism. Their nifnakmoius role of naively hoping to get China playing ball by praising them although knowing they were lying, also does not score to the WHO's account.

They even took over 6 weeks to realise and anounce that the by definition already running pandemic was de facto a pandemic.

After caging the animals of all shades (including white) for too many months, one could argue that those are covid-19 deaths as well.

Russia Developing Coronavirus Treatment That Disinfects the Body With UV Light From Inside


Scientists in Russia are developing a treatment for coronavirus that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect the body from the inside, Andrei Goverdovsky, from state nuclear agency Rosatom, has said.
In an interview with Country Rosatom, the agency's newsletter, Goverdovsky said physicists at the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering (IPPE) are currently developing methods to combat viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. He said they have called the project "luminous gas."

There’s a reason why cleaners for external surfaces are not meant for your innards. They’re indiscriminate killers, not medicine.

A good question to ask would be: "If you were faced with the choice of the possibility of being possibly maimed or killed by a disease or of the possibility of being possibly maimed or killed by a cure/treatment for that disease and neither of the two choices have fully known conditions/natures that would result in a predictive assurance, what would be you choice..."...

These virus days of 2020 will lead to famine for many people in many countries along with global warming and lack of being ready for the famine. America itself may have to feed it's own people before they can help others.

It will of course start in third world countries and take awhile before it gets to ours .... The oil producing countries will have to put up some big bucks to feed the poor, of which the USA is a big oil producing country until we have to care about our own first.

You don't have enough room in you bunkers to be ready just be forewarned
