The World Health Organization raised concern about the spread of coronavirus cases among people who have not been to China, saying it could be ‘the spark that becomes a bigger fire’

BEIJING/GENEVA - The death toll in China climbed above 1,000, as the World Health Organization cautioned that the spread of cases outside of China could be “the spark that becomes a bigger fire” and said the human race must not let the epidemic get out of control.

There are now over 42,000 confirmed cases in China as well as 319 cases in 24 other countries, including one death, according to WHO and Chinese health officials. Worries about the coronavirus kept investors on edge with safe-havens like gold rising and the dollar hitting a four-month high against the euro on Monday.

WHO is useless.

WHO is incompetence personified in Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus! It is an obscenity to leave this man in charge when he is against restricting travel from China and has acted way, way too late!

WHO Director-General Tedros Adenom Gibriathos must be fired and subjected to a thorough investigation by the International Hague Tribunal of a major global public health crisis caused by its delay in preventing epidemics! !! !!

When will this Xi get corona? Why he ordered to place citizens into the dead zone & do nothing but allow these virus continues to spread & kill your citizens? Save their lives by let none infected one to get out of there?

BarryWatson2373 Really WHO ?

Probably DrTedros forgot what he said before.

Then it might be existing before people know it, and even before Whistleblower Dr warning.

It's too late. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus must blame his resignation and accept a thorough investigation by the Hague International Tribunal of a major global public health crisis caused by his delay in the prevention of epidemic diseases! !! !!

What 'concern'? There should not be ban on travel or trade, right? WHO should praise China for its efforts on containing the virus, like Trump did.

This dammmm man Corrupted

I think WHO should be disbanded and let each continent have their own Health body with their own head. I don’t know why countries are funding WHO, when all they are doing is protecting China

Created for a purpose.

There all corrupt

Thanks to you, the virus is everywhere now

Shut up. 😡

WHO blatantly lies about vaping. Why would I or the 13 million other vapers believe them when it comes to this?

But realDonaldTrump’s on it! He said China told him that the summer heat would cure it. IllegitimatePresident will make this pandemic worse, long before it gets better.

Oh, the one asked the world to re-open border against China is concerning coronavirus spreading out.

Xinhua Headlines-Xi Focus: Xi vows to win people's war against novel coronavirus - WHY NO GLASSES AND EAR COVERING?

It’s not truly an epidemic until it reaches the scale of the Spanish flu or the Black Death. So people, relax

If you took the role of the world health organization, you can’t allow yourself to be narrow. You have responsibility and if so, you are responsible to examine every path. What you know is E relevant anymore. Here you can find one.

Hopefully it makes its way to the White House. We’re going to need fumigate after realDonaldTrump is removed, anyway. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh don't worry. President Know Nothing says the virus will go away in April. And he's cutting funding to all agencies that could be helpful in developing a vaccine. coronavirus

POTUS and Chinas biowarfare weapon will be unleashed here to help realDonaldTrump declare Martial Law soon enough.

Seriously ? Has this guy EVER heard of LunarNewYear ...and the MASSIVE traveling IN and OUT of China...spreading it across Asia and...maybe places like Vancouver, Paris,....too?

I'm not worried because I rarely drink beer and when I do it's never Corona.

These can be use as Biowarfare in Military to all the Countries to combat Intrusion , Territorial disputes , genocide and threaten disarmament of Arms and Nuclear. Based on the fact that these is the new Biowarfare Hazard of the Century. Try to use it while there is still chance

Then perhaps DrTedros should have been more concerned weeks ago instead of parroting CCP talking points. He is a hack and needs to be replaced.

Anything else....

This is...

British Airways was smart to cancel its flights until the end of March. At least their people mean more to them than money. We really have respect for this air lines.

He should rephrase that to “The World Health Organization raised concern about the spread of coronavirus cases among people who GOT OUT OF China BEFORE TRAVEL BAN WAS IMPOSED”

'WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday there had been 'concerning instances' of transmission from people who had not been to China.' He needs to elaborate. Sounds like he's saying there could be an additional source for the outbreak.

Funny how those infections originate in China, where the medications are made for the world.

Hindi translation of your tweet. विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन ने कोरोना वायरस को लेकर उन लोगों के बारे में चिंता प्रकट की है जो कभी चीन नहीं गए। WHO के अनुसार यह एक चिंगारी हो सकती है, जो जंगल की आग की तरह फैल सकती है।

Could be all the folks who jetted out before the blockade

Xi started the spark, Tedros helped fan it so it became a fire. The world should pressure WHO to let Tedros step down.

Thank you to China for allowing the WHO to go in to investigate. Praying for China.

Little slow to get to this point, no? Many people have already reported person-to-person transmission couple weeks back. The WHO is too slow in getting the news and directives out to the public. There needs to be more urgency, but unfortunately, they, too, are a business.

Has anyone ever seen anyone more inept than DrTedros literally how the fk did he get that job. A yes man someone should dig into his financials aha that's the media's job 😉

The idiots are finally realizing that .

Ah, so this is why he recommended no travel restrictions.

100% at the airport. We can't check. Asymptomatic people have 24 days of incubation. Completely deceived us.

It's clement change time.

WHO? No, CHO!

2 weeks after this politicalmess, kind of hybrid of UN and WTO, announced it was bad to fight the NoBorder globalist ideology and comforted tourism shopkeepers that it was bad to stop transport in an era of mail, phone and HR videoconfs 😫😡😡😡 They'll issue an excuse in 3 yr

World Health Organization forgot to raise concern about the spread of coronavirus cases among 3 miljon uyghur people who are in Nazi concentration camps

Isn't this the same fool who was praising China's response to the wuflu? Imprisoning doctors and whistleblowers, covering up the severity of the situation for weeks, I guess that's the WHO's recommended response to a viral outbreak these days.

one of the reason of widespread is initial bad judgment of WHO leader, WHO lose trust from many countries

WHAT DOES the WHO do beside raise and lower concerns?

Could be being the operative word.

Somebody please make an arrangement for Donald Trump to go to China Justsaying

Give us money.... we make you not sick...we just made a cure....now we need money, oh yeah ....now we need money!!

He is desperately trying to save his job.

ใช่ เขาควรคิดถึงความจริงข้อนี้ เพราะฉันได้รับเชื้อโคโรน่าโดยที่ฉันไม่ได้เดินทางไปที่จีนเลย แต่ฉันรับเชื้อในแหล่งท่องเที่ยวในประเทศไทย ที่มีชาวจีนและชาวยุโรปไปเที่ยวมากมาย

How about Taiwan, whom you are ignoring?

You don’t mess with the horseman

Has anyone read 'the boy that cried wolf'?

This guy is dangerously out of his depth here already
