The thing is that's over a full year and that part of it is possibly the second wave. That being said hospitals are slowly getting overwhelmed by COVID 19 patients.

There's a few hospitals in the cities that are being overwhelmed. Otherwise, hospitals simply aren't prepared for this many people because it doesn't make sense to stock that much equipment for outbreaks that are this rare.

I think that says more about how observant you are than about how prominent they are. I think every one of them has been here longer than you, and one was even here when Bush was still president.

Perhaps "Whoops, guess I was wrong! It seems some people here do think the WHO is in the pocket of the Chinese" is the right response?

There's no acceptable excuse for the federal government's lack of stockpiles. Individual hospitals is of course a different story as you rightly point out.

Dude has done an amazing job. Instead of making excuses he comes up with answers and has shown great leadership. Glad we have him at a time like this.

Lets not forget that Saudi's are a major sponsor of the WHO.

They are sitting on multi-trillion dollars and the WHO bends at their will many times due to the giant place they have in the energy space. The Saudi King has a real good relationship with President Trump has many times used their connections to manipulate the WHO. When the situation in the US really ticked up Saudi Prince had an emergency meeting with WHO health boss and after that meeting.

"World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also urged G20 nations to offer support to "low and middle income countries", including those from Sub-Saharan Africa.

Leaders of the G20 major economies will hold an online summit Thursday in a bid to fend off a coronavirus-triggered recession, after criticism the group has been slow to address the crisis.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will join the emergency videoconference chaired by Saudi Arabia's King Salman, who is also under pressure to end an oil price war with Moscow that has roiled energy markets.

The talks come as the global death toll from COVID-19 soared close to 21,000 and over 3 billion people were locked down in their homes.

"As the world confronts the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges to healthcare systems and the global economy, we convene this extraordinary G20 summit to unite efforts towards a global response," the king of Saudi Arabia, which currently holds the G20 presidency, said on Twitter.

The meeting, expected to be held at 1200 GMT, comes as the world's 20 most industrialized countries scramble to defend their virus-wracked economies amid forecasts they will likely plunge into recession this year.

On Wednesday, the financial ratings agency Moody's estimated the G20's overall gross domestic product would contract by 0.5 percent, with the US economy shrinking by 2 percent and the eurozone by 2.2 percent.

While wealthy nations including the US have unveiled mammoth stimulus packages, there has so far been no collective action plan from the G20, and concerns are mounting for poorer countries without access to capital markets and adequate health facilities."

Seven months into his tenure, the early moves of the WHO's first African chief are stoking a backlash.

His supporters say Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus promised to shake the institution up. The critics, increasingly emboldened, say he's undermining the World Health Organization's effectiveness and putting its funding at risk.


The former Ethiopian health minister turned heads with his appointment of Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador in October. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Tedros — as he prefers to be called by Ethiopian tradition — was eschewing the normal hiring process for U.N. agencies, looking to increase gender and geographical diversity as quickly as possible. That's unsettled some in the Geneva headquarters and the constellation of activists and researchers who work with WHO, who fear an overly political approach is bringing a culture change at the cost of credibility.

The latest disruptive move is his appointment of a little-known Russian official to run the WHO’s tuberculosis program, using a fast-track process, one month after meeting with President Vladimir Putin at a major gathering on the topic in Moscow.

The Mugabe appointment “was stupid, but this is a disaster,” said Mark Harrington, executive director of Treatment Action Group. Ahead of the appointment, TAG led an open letter from more than 40 civil society groups asking Tedros to use a transparent, competitive process to choose the next director of the Global TB Program, tasked with fighting the top infectious killer worldwide.

Reward for being retrograde
The December nomination of Tereza Kasaeva (an official at the Russian health ministry) prompted an editorial in the medical journal the Lancet, which described it as triggering a “potentially disabling controversy.”"

Yes, there is. It doesn't make sense to stockpile equipment you'll need once in a generation-- if that-- any more than food. Even ventilators degrade over time, and medical equipment is quickly made obsolete by more sophisticated successors.

And what can you do with stockpiles? Oh yes, spend money and update the inventories as time goes by. Crazy, you seem to think there's no reason for them, since appalling shortages are normal and acceptable to you.
 
Wow I don’t think in my life I’ve ever heard “tremendous suicides” lol
 
Something like “it’s just common sense with people staying home depression will go up and we’ll see tremendous suicides.”
I know what he was going for but god damn
