At a press conference in Geneva, on the afternoon of February 20th, 2020 (CET), The Director General of the WHO Dr. Tedros intimated that the COVID-19 pandemic was imminent.
The WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that he was
“concerned that the chance to contain the coronavirus outbreak was “closing””
“I believe the window of opportunity is still there, but that the window is narrowing.”
“Window is narrowing? A rapidly expanding Worldwide epidemic?
According to the PCR test, the recorded number of so-called “confirmed Covid cases” on that same day (outside China) was 1,073 of which 621 were passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship (stranded in Japanese territorial waters).
The above numbers do not under any circumstances confirm an unfolding global health crisis.
Examine the WHO graph below. The blue indicates the confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess (international conveyance which arrived in Yokohama on February 3, 2020), many of whom were sick, confined to their rooms for more than two weeks (quarantine imposed by Japan). All passengers and crew took the illustrious RT-PCR test (which does not detect or identify SARS-CoV-2).
Needless to say, this so-called data was used to spearhead the fear campaign not to mention the collapse of financial markets in the course of the month of February 2020.

The official story is as follows:
A Hong Kong-based passenger who had disembarked from the Diamond Princess in Hong Kong on January 25 developed pneumonia and was tested positive for the novel coronavirus on January 30.
The Diamond Princess arrived in Yokohama on February 3. A quarantine was imposed on the cruiser, Many passengers fell sick due to the confinement on the boat. All the passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess undertook the PCR test. The number of confirmed cases increased to 691 on February 23
Read carefully: From the standpoint of assessing worldwide trends of a deadly disease, the official WHO data doesn’t add up.
Without the Diamond Princess data, the so-called number of confirmed cases worldwide outside China on February 20, 2020 was of the order of
452 cumulative confirmed cases, out of a population of 6.4 billion.
452 cases were sufficient to destabilize stock-markets all over the World?
Did Tedros Statements Serve to Trigger the Financial Crash?
Wow: 452 cases. These “shock and awe” statements contributed to triggering panic, despite the fact that the number of confirmed cases outside China was exceedingly low.
The statement by Dr. Tedros (based on flawed concepts and statistics) set the stage for the February 2020 financial collapse triggered by inside information, foreknowledge, derivative trade, short-selling and a galore of hedge fund operations.
COVID-19 was narrowly identified as the catalyst of the financial crash. Who was behind this catalyst?
Who was behind the fear campaign which contributed to triggering chaos and uncertainty on financial markets?
The small number of “COVID-19 confirmed cases” outside China (1,073) did not in any way point to an unfolding worldwide epidemic. But this did not prevent the markets from plummeting.
The markets had been manipulated. Whoever had foreknowledge (“inside information”) of the WHO Director-General’s February 20, 2020 statement would have reaped significant monetary gains.
Was there a conflict of interest (as defined by the WHO)? The WHO is partly funded by the Gates Foundation. Bill Gates has “60% of his assets invested in equities [including stocks and index funds]”, according to a September 2019 CNBC report.
The stock market crash initiated on February 20th referred to as the 2020 Coronavirus Crash (February 20-April 7, 2020) was categorized as:
“the fastest fall in global stock markets in financial history, and the most devastating crash since the Wall Street Crash of 1929.”
The alleged cause of the financial crash was The Virus, (according to prominent “analysts”) namely, the “massive spread” of the epidemic outside China. But that was an outright lie. Media disinformation played a key role in spearheading the fear campaign.
The possibility of financial fraud and “insider trading” (which is illegal) was casually dispelled by financial analysts and media reports.
Without the human hand, there is no causal relationship between a microscopic virus and the complex gamut of financial variables.
The “killer virus” fear campaign coupled with Dr. Tedros’s timely “warnings” of the need to implement a worldwide pandemic indelibly served the interests of Wall Street’s institutional speculators and hedge funds. The financial crash led to a major shift in the global distribution of money wealth.
