Who knew Muslims were carrying COVID-19? News to me.
BTW - When it comes to relevant information who are you going to believe. Trump or the head of the NIH Dr. Anthony Fauci?
So far it's been more the other way round - the disease is spreading more from rich countries to poorer ones, on the whole. A load of Italians were just caught trying to evade quarantine in India.
Wow, for once I don't think Trump is entirely wrong about something. Not that I'd use the term 'false number', but the WHO does seem to be making confusing statements.
‘This is just my hunch’, president says on Fox News and then plucked his own surmising of a death rate out of the air

I can't tell if the 'wow' reaction is a wow at Trump not being completely wrong, or a wow at me suggesting he's not completely wrong!
I honestly don't feel the WHO is doing a great job at conveying information. I mean, you have two WHO-associated scientists publicly arguing with each other over whether the Chinese have correctly counted all the mild and asymptomatic cases. What is the layperson supposed to make of that?
Then you have them blithely implying that the West could and should lock down entire cities and regions the way China has, and speaking as if this is just a straightforward thing to do in a democracy. Then they simultaneously refuse to call it a pandemic (even whilethe German government at least has called it such) in order not to cause 'alarm', while at the same time putting out figures for lethality that appear to be just a crude division of 'deaths' over 'infections', while not discussing the point Trump, of all people, raises - that the infection numbers, the denominator of that figure, are missing a lot of cases (though it seems like Trump's administration is contributing to that, by hardly testing anyone).
Nobody in authority seems to be dealing with this situation all that well, at least not so far as conveying the facts to the public is concerned. I honestly don't think Trump is the only weak performer in this affair.
Edit - at least those authorities have finally acknowledged it's not a great time to have an England-Italy rugby match in Rome. Seems absurd that till just today they were still planning to go ahead with it. Large numbers of poeple travelling down from northern Italy and mixing with southerners plus English rugby fans in the city and in the stadium - what could possibly go wrong with that?
