In a stunning rebuke of Leftist politicians and bureaucrats in the US and across much of The West, on October 8, 2020, the World Health Organization's special envoy on COVID-19 is urged world leaders to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease diagnosis that the WHO named COVID-19. "We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus," David Nabarro said. "The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we'd rather not do it."
