[QUOTE="RocksInMyHead, post: 74842630, member: 284142"] Please provide a source for your claim that the WHO recommends against lockdowns. I'm unable to find anything saying that - in fact, I can find a WHO official saying in an interview today that lockdowns will be necessary for at least two weeks to stop the spread: [URL='https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/how-to-stop-covid-19-find-test-isolate-treat/']Can I go for a run? When will this end? How should testing work? Q&A with a WHO expert on coronavirus[/URL] The closest thing I can find to your claim is a statement from the WHO in January that the initial lockdown in Wuhan was not at their recommendation: [URL='https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-who/wuhan-lockdown-unprecedented-shows-commitment-to-contain-virus-who-representative-in-china-idUSKBN1ZM1G9']Wuhan lockdown 'unprecedented', shows commitment to contain virus: WHO representative in China[/URL] However, the language used makes it clear that they weren't recommending [I]against[/I] the lockdown. I can find other language from the WHO recommending against travel bans, but those aren't the same as the local quarantine/lockdown procedures that we're seeing. [/QUOTE]
