U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Tuesday that the world faces the most challenging crisis since World War II, confronting a pandemic threatening people in every country, one that will bring a recession "that probably has no parallel in the recent past." (snip) "It is essential that developed countries immediately assist those less developed to bolster their health systems and their response capacity to stop transmission."

Ohhhhh....now I'll take it seriously. If this is reminiscent of WW2 it's because of the fine work Joe Goebbels did up to the bitter end.

OP jumped all over the reason right out of the blocks. If they can't get our money through Global Warming they will find another reason for us to be compassionate givers. Millions of American GI's died in WW2 for A-holes who now hate us. Nothing is going to top that for a long time.

FTA: "Guterres announced the establishment of a COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund to support efforts in low- and middle-income countries, with the aim of swiftly enabling governments to tackle the crisis and promote recovery.''
Ah yes, a fund ''to support efforts in low- and middle-income countries...'' May I recommend a fund of $80 trillion for a start? After all, you have to figure in the graft, theft, kick-backs and payoffs that happen daily when more than a hundred bucks are involved in most of these hell-hole ''low- and middle-income countries.''
Harsh...but accurate.

The developed countries are the ones that are hurting.
If we ain't working we aint making the funds to give away and we aint working.
The stock market is in the crapper , and even the Treasury Department that prints our money is closed, so we can't even print fake money.

While being a Trump fan, if he really wants to impress me the get us out of the UN and the UN out of the US. 'That' would be a real accomplishment.

I suggest the UN demand that the country that started this pay reparations for the damage they and they alone caused.

This UN "chief" can get out of my country and take his mud-hut organization with him. I suggest relocation in Equatorial Guinea.

The third world tyrants and corruptocrats haven't had a chance in years to fill their pockets, thanks to an honest president named Trump. The most amusing reaction was the San Juan mayor who was hysterical that Trump would not give her a blank check after the hurricane.
Trump will take care of America first before he starts looking abroad. If he ever decides to. Until these nations dump their tyrants and join us in the first world, they are always going to be with us. Jesus said the poor always would.

Why do we need a UN Chief to say things? We have plenty of people doing things, no need for the other type.

He's the head of the UN including WHO. Why didn't he do something to prevent China influenced WHO from lying to the world by singing China's tune?

Therefore we need to bomb the country that started this.
Because that's the WWII approach.

It's working. I heard PDJT say yesterday we would be giving ventilators and other medical equipment to other countries with a need.

The UN is making their comments and taking their faux actions a little late in the game. As usual, the UN is proving useless in addressing a worldwide problem. The UN should have been one of the first organizations to address this crisis, not one of the last. Their "help" will prove as useless to the COVID-19 crisis as a screen on a submarine.
