The risk was not "low".

Oh yes it was in the UK.

The risk was declared  to be low until it was raised to moderate on Feb 28th.

The risk was always very high. WHO was desperate to declare it that way at the end of January - but couldn't do it until Trump (mostly) agreed to it.

Your bumbling idiocy would tend to make me wonder whether there was malice behind this crisis.

But I'm not taken in. This outbreak, severe though it is, isn't very likely to have any great geo-political influence.

Could even backfire in your face - less travel will make Israel's situation more perilous and public health will make our determination to have biological WMD harder to justify.

Only in hindsight. At the time we did not know how infectious it was or how quickly it could spread.

Nothing changed when we did discover how infectious it was and how quickly it spread.

BoJo was totally detached and took a fortnight off in the country with his pregnant girl-friend. The number of children he has is a state secret.

Actually it did. You seem to be totally unaware of what was happening. Have a look at the following which includes everything said/published/done by HMG and her advisers from 22nd January 2020.

Human to human transmission was only confirmed at the end of January. That's when WHO declared a 'Public Health Emergency'.

As late as 9th Feb, from the first large scale clinical study, that the virus spreads extremely quickly BUT "case fatality rate significantly below SARS/MERS."

 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.06.20020974v1

As late as 19th Feb, "The disease, officially named COVID-19, is thought to be more easily spread than its predecessor SARS, but possesses a lower mortality rate."

https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/how-does-coronavirus-compare-with-previous-global

On March 11th, "Deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction, WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic."

I don't need self-serving propaganda from the people who allowed Boris Johnson to very nearly be killed by this virus.

I put it to you that the WHO needs powers to deal with this threat - and its the US (on behalf of Israel) which is going to stop that happening.

For reasons which are transparently obvious - preparations for Holocaust II must take precedence over everything.

"Eternal Conflict" remember is that not what you sold your soul to, the same as BM?

Downing Street confirms British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be back at work on Monday after being hospitalised with coronavirus earlier this month.

BoJo was a charismatic journalist (twice sacked for dishonesty) but his delivery on projects was always poor.

The Garden Bridge was an expensive failure, Boris Island was a non-starter (especially in these days of rising sea-levels!!!) and his cycling efforts seem to have foundered.

He may do better at getting us going again.

Boris Johnson returns to address a fatigued nation after coronavirus scare. But it was mostly colourful words - ABC News

During Boris Johnson's three-week absence there was clearly a vacuum, as Britain limped along with no clear leader. Now, the UK Prime Minister returns to the lectern at Downing Street as enthusiastic as ever, writes Samantha Hawley.

You won't recognise more than one of these guys, but they've been giving our daily BleachGate news conferences. The only dangerous nutter in that group is Preti Patel, Zionist spy.
