This is very alarming...  Video attached at bottom of link.

World Health Organization official appears to dodge reporter’s questions about Taiwan in viral video.

A top official with the World Health Organization appeared to feign connection issues when a reporter asked about Taiwan and implied it was not a part of China.

A reporter with Radio Television Hong Kong was interviewing senior WHO adviser Bruce Aylward, a Canadian doctor. Aylward seemed to redirect and divert questions about Taiwan during the interview that went viral on social media.

China claims sovereignty over the island, although Taiwan has its own government and refers to itself as the Republic of China. Taiwan is not a member state of the WHO, which is what prompted the reporter to ask if the organization would “reconsider Taiwan’s membership” in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Aylward stares into the camera and doesn’t answer the question before saying, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear your question,” he eventually said.

“OK, let me repeat the question,” the reporter responds before Aylward immediately replies, “No, that’s OK. Let’s move to another one, then.”

The reporter continues to press and said she is “curious” about “Taiwan’s case.”

Aylward then appears to glance down at his keypad before the video feed suddenly shuts down. The reporter decides to call him back and address the issue once more.

“I just want to see if you can comment a bit on how Taiwan has done so far in terms of containing the virus,” she asks.

“Well, we’ve already talked about China,” Aylward responds. “And you know, when you look across all the different areas of China, they’ve actually all done quite a good job. So, with that, I’d like to thank you very much for inviting us to participate, and good luck as you go forward with the battle in Hong Kong.”

^ That's been known for awhile now.  There were transfers from several animals to humans, etc.  But it wasn't a big deal according to most doctors.  Very rare.

Maybe... but a dog could still carry the virus in its fur, right? Even if it's asymptomatic, it's still dangerous, because, let's face it, when you walk a cute dog down the street, everybody wants to pet him, and then they expose themselves to all kinds of things, maybe carry these gremlins back to their families. That's why I'm unhappy with the PSA's encouraging more pet adoption to stave off cabin fever, because if people can't take them to public places like parks or even go out for walks without a mask, those poor dogs aren't going to see much fun.  Plus in jurisdictions with breed-specific bans, a dog could concievably be blamed for being suspected of spreading the coronabug.  An innocent face-lick or just the dirt on his paws could make an already problem dog an unfair scapegoat, taken away or even marked for euthanization.

So... is that a body double, or was that appearance pre-taped?

Like Rainberry, my interest, too, is piqued, but for different reasons.  I'm a bit of an amateur numismatist, you see.  As I've noted elsewhere, I have a S. Korean coin amongst my glittery treasures, and the recent political upheaval in that region, coupled with coronabug woes, could see its worth skyrocket.  There was talk a while back of Kim's baby sister succeeding The Great Leader on his death, and by all accounts she's even nuttier and more party-line than he is.    :o   

Saaaaaaaaaaaaay, any news out of our neighbor to the north, by any chance?  I just picked up a 1964 Canadian penny recently, and I'm curious to see if it'll go up in price anytime soon.   ;)  :-]
