WHO declares Europe the new coronavirus epicenter.
Europe has become the new epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic as cases in China slow and the deadly coronavirus runs through Italy and nearby countries, WHO officials said Friday. WHO officials declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on Wednesday as the virus spreads rapidly across the world from Asia to Europe, the Middle East and now parts of the United States….
“More cases are now being reported [in Europe] every day than were reported in China at the height of its epidemic,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a news conference at the organization’s Geneva headquarters….
Italy currently has the most cases outside of China with at least 15,113 infections, followed by Spain at 4,334, Germany at 3,156 and France at 2,882.
The trouble with germ warfare when we’re talking the real warfare of releasing germs (not my metaphorical use here whereby I am asking if he is exploiting a viral pandemic) is that germs do not respect borders. Germ warfare blows wherever the wind blows and can just as easily wipe out your own people if you don’t have an antidote.
In his address to the nation on the coronavirus, Trump pointedly stated that Europe had “seeded” pockets of infection in the United States and that therefore he would stop direct flights from there.
He described Covid-19 as a “foreign virus”, and took pains to point out that “a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travellers from Europe….”
Did Trump Trade Wars Just Escalate to Germ Warfare?
