GENEVA — The head of the World Health Organization has warned that “the worst is yet ahead of us” in the coronavirus outbreak, raising new alarm bells about the pandemic just as many countries are beginning to ease restrictive measures.
“Let’s prevent this tragedy. It’s a virus that many people still don’t understand.”
Sorry, was he referring to COVID-19 or Donald Trump?
Did anyone else notice that no one, including WHO Director-General Ghebreyesus, thanked Dr. Cadet Toadglans mit der Bone Spurs in any of their shoutouts during Saturday’s “One World: Together At Home” concert? That surely must’ve driven the very unhinged “very stable genius” nuts. Poor bastard.
Obviously depriving the WHO of funding was not a stern enough measure to crush their spirit and make them slink away. Very powerful, beautiful, fantastic incredible punishments will have to be levied.
Tom Cotton is working on options now.
Cue Donald Trump in 3 months…no one ever told us the worst was ahead of us. If I’d known that, I would have never let the Governors open their states. Oh well, so long as we understand it’s all their fault.
If the only public figures you trust are Donald Trump and Jesus Christ, it won’t matter what some foreigner says.
Not according to Trump. It’s going to taper of in a few days or maybe a week and you won’t hear any more about it! Oh wait that was a couple months ago, never mind.
Yes.
How does a motor car work?
Jebus.
It doesn’t if the aliens are invading.
you may feel a slight sting. That’s pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.
He’ll never become aware of that.
It’s true. People are still panic buying toilet paper in anticipation of things hitting the old fan. I suspect the efforts to recruit self sacrificing individuals will soon run out of volunteers as the virus sweeps through their ranks like a tornado in a trailer park.
Should be fun to hear Trump’s comments - excuse me, lies - when asked about this at the daily campaign rally this afternoon.
Don’t know if it’s true or not, but I kinda’ hope that it is.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus didn’t specify why he believed that the outbreak that has infected nearly 2.5 million people and killed over 166,000 … could be even worse.
All you gotta do is look at a map and find all the places with tenuous health care systems where the case load isn’t currently high, but the signs of infection are present.
Kinda like the great swaths in the middle of this country where the virus has shown up but the disease hasn’t taken off yet.
Seriously, it’s not a plague sent to punish the bi-coastal elites.
Same.
I can’t even comprehend this:
Oil falls to a penny a barrel. That’s a record low going back to 1983
From CNN Business’ Matt Egan
Oil hasn’t been this cheap since at least the Reagan administration.
US crude crashed to as low as a penny a barrel on Monday – the weakest level since NYMEX opened oil futures trading in 1983.
That marks a stunning one-day decline from Friday’s close of $18.27 a barrel.
The historic collapse shows that the market is betting the OPEC+ production cuts announced earlier this month aren’t enough to offset the unprecedented in demand caused by the pandemic.
Part of Monday’s nosedive is being driven by the fact that the May futures contract expires Tuesday, amplifying fears over a lack of storage space.
The June contract isn’t selling off by nearly as much, losing only 12.2% to $21.97 a barrel.
Official White house policy is to ignore warnings from the World Health Organization until the shit hits the fan, then blame the World Health Organization for failing to warn the White House. This policy will continue as long as the World Heath Organization continues to claim that science-y things like pandemics exist, especially in an election year.
It went even lower.
Oil falls below $0 a barrel. That’s never happened before
Oil is so cheap that producers are paying to stockpilers to take barrels off their hands.
US crude crashed on Monday, falling below $0 to $-1.43 – the weakest level since NYMEX opened oil futures trading in 1983.
That marks a stunning one-day decline from Friday’s close of $18.27 a barrel.
