At a Chinese National Health Commission/World Heath Organiszation briefing about their trip to Wuhan to “learn about coronavirus prevention and control measures.” Journalists are spaced a meter apart (that’s me with @onlyyoontv and @debiedwarditv)
WHO expert Bruce Aylward says the number of cases of coronavirus a reported in China a day has dropped from 2,500 when he arrived two weeks ago to 406 today. “That’s an 80 percent decline and the decline that we are seeing is real.”
After the WHO’s Bruce Aylward lavishly praises China’s response to the coronavirus and says other countries are wrong to impose travel/trade restrictions on China, Chinese officials and journalists literally applaud him.
