The World Health Organization on Wednesday said that the new coronavirus outbreak can be characterized as a pandemic, saying they were "deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction." An outbreak is considered a pandemic when a new disease spreads around the world, and most people do not have immunity to it, according to the WHO. Andrea Mitchell and Jeremy Bash discuss. Aired on 03/11/20.

World Health Organization Declares Coronavirus A Pandemic | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
This is horrible. And yeah we had stupid people. Like rush limbaugh calling it a hoax. Anybody that believes in conspiracy theories. Is crazy.
@Some Person Also, I don’t remember Daehole speaking to you at all you just popped on in there. Your probably some weird smelly dude.
@lourdes krohn yeah yeah yeah. Trump 2020
America First Lol If Corona virus doesn’t get you first! You may be able to see it! Or not! Lol
America First if you make it till November to see it In Case he wins, because still the possibility that idiots like you survive the corona virus and vote for him lol!
@lourdes krohn XoXo
Why is everyone so afraid to call this a Pandemic, when it’s been a Pandemic for weeks or more??. God bless and keep us all.
@Teardown Dan
It is worse.
The incubation period is at least 14 days. According to SARS experts from HK 28 days.
According to German scientists, the virus is able to survive for 9 days without being hosted by an organism (therefore the sanitizer campaigns on Wuhans streets).
This evening, German TV news confirmed once more that a negative test doesn`t prove that you are not infected.
Already in China and Japan virologist outlined a failure rate of about 40%. The test is more reliable if the patient displays symptoms. It might depend on the virus load.
Therefore, only people with symptoms are tested.
Also people without symptoms are capable to infect others (e.g. kids).
The testing is executed only to monitor the speed of spreading to prepare the healthcare infrastructure – trying to slow spreading down by cancelling events, gathering, social contacts.. .
President Trump has been doing a tremendous job so far because of his amazing leadership.

@Sam I used 10 days because that is at the lower end of the range and a best-case scenario for detecting it “early” based on symptoms while test kits are still a rare commodity. Negative results have never meant much – can be too early in the incubation period to be detectable and doesn’t stop you from getting infected after-the-fact either.
Update: As of Wednesday afternoon, at least 1,107 people in 41 states and Washington, D.C., have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a New York Times database, and at least 32 patients with the virus have died. 03/11/20.

At least 2 months. Going on three now.
Since DEC 2019 when it first hit China.
@Patrick Kingfisher Kennedy but back then it was not even a epidemic though
*congrats, you finally caught up to the general public, who have known this for over a month*

@William H Music 2020 👈 MAGAtard needs a Nazi incell Loser like him to love.😏
@Perro dehont pls don’t use that as a source, u can’t use the most biased channel against china as a source about china
Stop reading his tweets and showing his remarks on camera. Just ignore him!
You should ignore crazy people, and call the authorities so they can get help…
CDC botched the original test and took a month to finally get it right…. So much for big Government, should of just ordered them from China like everything else.
GoGreen, My thoughts exactly! Thank you. 🌹
Who reads his tweets? I’m a supporter and have never not once…. To wonder you idiots got TDS, get a life.
‘TDS’…
‘Trump’s Damnable Schemes’. 🤨
Too bad *EVERYONE’S* onto him…case in point:
*Every* state, *every* bank, *every* insurance company and *every* country that #45✳’s *LIED to* in his financial filings *ARE* now ‘comparing notes’…and *finding ‘discrepancies’.* 📑
And *VERY soon* #45✳’s life becomes a *neverending nightmare* of litigations, losses… *and/or blackmail.* 💸
Trusting Donald Trump has never been more lethal.
😝😝😝
People without insurance will be the most affected.
They should die. You must understand capitalism. Health care is a business.
If Trump says “It’ll go away”, it’s not going anywhere.
😝😝

Is trump says f(x), it’s really f^-1(x).
All the a-holes at Fox are now saying they new it was a pandemic all along.
You don’t calm people by saying “Be calm!”
Trump could make everyone better, resign
*I thought it was all a democratic hoax!*
The government is failing tremendously due to this moronic president. God help us
😝😝
“Just Stay Calm it will go Away” Denial is the best action in the time of PLAGUE.
No doubt trump’s “hunch” was another scheme like eradicating all testing – to lower the numbers to “almost zero.” This should become known in the lexicon as “to pull a trump.”
all he cares about is shipping and airlines industries smh!
Bluster and lies just aren’t working for him at the moment…Sad.
It’s getting harder day by day for Trump to lie and misinform his way out of this one
Trump: “It will Magically Disappear by April”.
Trumpers: “This is all a hoax to make Trump look bad and it doesn’t exist.”
Later: family will members die after being diagnosed with the Coronavirus.
