The World Health Organisation had not said "this isn't a these you currently" or anything to that effect. They are a scientific body that does not consider it it's remit to comment on Chinese politics.

At least some Chinese officials suppressed information in the early days.

I'm sorry I made a spelling/grammar mistake, please forgive me. Thanks for quoting it.

Now which body do you trust more, also which one says it's not a problem and people shouldn't be worried: The Chinese govt or the World Health Organisation?

People panicked about this situation and spreading false information are the ones to worry about, not those with the virus.

Personally I'm more worried about the virus than any scaremongers.

Especially in countries like Indonesia where I am now:

>In Indonesia, Terawan Agus Putranto, the health minister, advised citizens to relax and eschew overtime work to avoid the disease, which has killed more than 360 people and infected more than 17,000 others, mostly in China.

>“To prevent it is very easy as long as your immunity is good,” Mr. Terawan said.

...

>Indonesia has 264 million people, over 2 million tourists from China, but 0 reported cases of coronavirus

By the time the idiot finds it's run amok there will be a lot of unnecessary deaths.

update "In Indonesia – it’s unlikely to spread much as it’s very hot and humid." so maybe ok https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/puzmZFQGRTiiquwLa6tT-g/confere...

There's always going to be someone on the Internet saying something terrible and extreme about any topic. I'm not really sure what to say about that other than it's not changing any time soon, and I'm glad I stopped keeping my phone on me 24/7 because now I don't see it as much.
