Irish WHO Chief slammed for suggesting authorities ‘forcibly remove’ sick people from homes

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has criticised World Health Organization’s (WHO) top emergency expert for suggesting to authorities that they find those who may have the coronavirus in family homes and “remove them.”

Mike Ryan, WHO’s executive director of emergencies program, declared that in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials may have to enter homes and remove family members. He played a clip of a WHO official saying the contagion has been “taken off the streets and pushed back into family units.”

“Now we need to go and look in families to find those people who may be sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner,” Ryan said on March the 22nd.

Carlson indicated that he found this “threat” to be very frightening.

“Just so you know, we’re coming to your house, seizing your children and ‘isolating them in a safe and dignified manner,’ whatever that means,”

The Fox host observed that this is not the kind of statement that officials ”casually drop” during press briefings, and normally such “threats” to take away children might normally “trigger violence.”

However, the media treated Ryan’s declaration as if it were “no big deal.”

“(Ryan’s) threat didn’t make headlines in any of the major newspapers in this country,” he said. “That’s the kind of moment we’re in.”

Carlson, who sounded the alarm on the Wuhan coronavirus in January, noted that ordinary Americans are already being hurt by the economic shutdown. He cited the Mayor of Los Angeles’ suggestion that there may be two or even three lockdowns this year. He also quoted Harvard economist Jason Furman, who said “(w)e should certainly be prepared for a meaningful level of deliberate suppression of economic activity for the rest of the year.”

The Fox News host said it would be nice to know that there was a “good reason” for all this”; the arguments for a “prolonged national lockdown are starting to sound strained.”
