chrisp65 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Ah, for a world not beholden to China and its attitude to Taiwan, or the U.S. and it’s attitude to this year’s Iran or Cuba or Palestine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If you think Donald Trump is the man to improve the ethical standards and scientific rigour of the WHO, I have some very bad news for you. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 We are doing exactly what Trump wants. He goes it's not my fault, look at the WHO and we debate the merits of his criticism. In the USA the buck stops with him however he squirms. If it didn't work he would point at something or someone else. He already tried blaming impeachment, Obama, Pelosi, the Democrats and the Chinese, but it's the WHO one now and if that doesn't stick he will try something else. He can't declare himself bankrupt to get out of this or get a bail out from daddy or Deutsche Bank, so he is clean out of options and loosing his mind. Well, loosing his mind more than normal. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that too. The funny thing is he has a bit of a point when he says the travel ban was the right thing to do (although it was much less complete than he makes out in hindsight), but then having bought the country several weeks, he did . . . absolutely nothing, except play the crisis down in the media. As you say, at the end of the day, 'the buck stops with him'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2020 The WHO doesn't help Trump get re-elected and doesn't gargle his bollocks, therefore it's fair game for him to point at and declare the real problem. All whilst he sits at the head of a country with a medical system specially designed not to work in this kind of situation (unless you're rich), and where homeless people are allocated spaces in a car park to sleep in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we’re (mostly) all sat here hoping he gets replaced by the senile guy who forgets where/who he is, the future doesn’t look that great. On the upside, at least Biden will be surrounded by people who are competent and do the whole ‘government’ part of the job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there remains the theory that elements of weed are actually medicinal in nature so I don’t get it.

sharkyvilla Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I was expecting a bigger spike in recorded deaths today after the bank holiday. Fingers crossed last week was the worst it's going to get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
