In Update #7, on the Wuhan New Coronavirus (officially “2019-ncov”), Chris Martenson reports that on 1/30/2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the Wuhan Coronavirus is indeed now a pandemic.

If that’s not scary enough, the WHO then proceeded to downplay the risk to public health and went to great lengths to make it clear it doesn’t recommend placing restrictions on global trade & travel at this time . . . when we may be in dealing with a viral outbreak as (or more) virulent than the Spanish Flu (aka The Great Influenza).

“This is nothing less than a political decision to keep business/commerce flowing without regard to public health. The WHO has chosen money over people’s lives.”
