The WHO carries out it’s responsibility well in seeking information about the health circumstances within all countries. Donald John Trump pulled American scientists out of posts all over the world. When that occurred information was not forthcoming as before. Trump can point fingers at the WHO, but when American support ended the infrastructure wasn’t in place to continue its work the same as before. Does anyone expect a Third World country to carry the same expertise as First World countries?
So, now the manipulated truth by Trump exists rather than the real truth that the WHO had some of its best reporting ended with the cessation of USA scientists in countries that spawn disease.

It appears (click here) that insurgents are trying to maintain control over the corridor and road through Bilibiza, Cabo Delgado, which was attacked and heavily damaged 29-30 January.. On 9 March there was an attack on the road from Bilibiza toward Quissanga on the coast. And Moz24h (10 Mar) says the insurgents have closed the road going inland from Bilibiza, blocking the road with trees and have put headless bodies on the road. Moz24h says local people report heavy fighting, with ambushes of government armoured cars. (The map in the pdf version of this bulletin shows the roads in the area.) Bilibiza is 50 km north west of Pemba as the crow flies or 120 km by road, and is the farthest south the war has spread
The other focus of the war is very close to Mocimboa da Praia. On 8 March at 05.00, gunmen ambushed a heavy truck belonging to Bangladeshi traders who have been working in Mocimboa da Praia district for the past four years. At about 14.00, a pick-up sent to fetch the owners of the truck and assess the damage was fired on. In the two ambushes four people were injured. (AIM 10 Mar)
The villages of Ulo and Anga, close to Mocimboa da Praia town, were attacked and burned on 12 March. On 5 March Naikidunga was attacked and on 6 March Nabage. Local people report a number of villages in the area have been recently attacked and local people report many dead, some kidnapped, and houses burned. (Moz24h 13, 6 Mar)
Elsewhere, on 4 March insurgents killed four people and burnt down 30 houses in an attack against the village of Nkonda, Nangade district. (AIM 10 Mar) Insurgents attacked soldiers in Chomba, 30 km northwest of Mueda town, but the date is not known.
The World Food Programme has produced a good set of district maps for Cabo Delgado.

Package Bankruptcy - "...those are the rules of the game...."
The tax bailout of 2017 was squandered. In 2008 when the government bailed out GM, Ford didn't need it. Why? Because the company took loans when there was zero interest rate. Ford was flush with money because it planned for the future. There are financial instruments that already exist that can address companies floundering now. Bailing them out is not the answer. The American people are hurting because of a global pandemic AND THAT IS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY LIES.
The financial markets have investors and they take a risk. If they didn't plan for this pandemic as a probability within that risk assessment after PRESIDENT OBAMA openly addressed this PROBABILITY, not a possibility, in a speech, then they need to look to the financial instruments that already exist to decide the path of their OWN RISK.
Since the Wright Brothers invented flight, there is not a president that hasn't bailed out an airline. This may be a difficult time for airlines, but, there exist financial instruments to address the corporate structure. It is the employees that need to be supported. When employee incomes are maintained the markets will grow again. Until the employees are receiving income, the markets will be lackluster. This is a pandemic, not a global economic collapse. It only looks that way because the "ready cash" was there to be grabbed in pensions and 401Ks. Who is going to make them whole again? Nobody because Wall Street saw an opportunity to take what is not theirs. THAT is the real immorality and Americans know it.
By the way, the “Wet Markets” in China where wildlife is sold as food are still operating because of a trade war that removed American agricultural goods from the bellies of the poorest of the Chinese people.
