WH: “Shithole continents do not factor into our realm of concern. Don’t they have governors who can be responsible for testing and tracing?

Except for the nasty people at the WHO - they have no idea what they are doing at that place, so we have no use for them, and neither should the people of Nambia and all those other states over there.”
