On May 8, WHO updated their guidance
They used words like "airborne" and "respirator"
They announced the change publicly
They upgraded the risk
Several nations followed suit
A plan was announced that included mandatory quarantine
But after seeing the clown show of execution that has followed
And is about to unfold
I now think the potential for pandemic is higher
It's really up to the virus and blind luck at this point
If we still had
1. strong public health institutions, and
2. nations abided by Public Health Emergency of International Concern, PHEIC, and
3. the precautionary principle was adhered to,
then we could say yeah “probably “ low risk.
None are true anymore, so no, not low risk
