After the Global Famine, comes the DESTROYER!

The next global pandemic may very well be a hunger pandemic as a result of the fallout from coronavirus.
While the World Health Organization warns that stringent guidelines need to stay in place to combat the spread of COVID-19, fellow United Nations agency World Food Program (WFP) believes that it will lead to an uptick in global poverty and starvation, and the response to the virus itself may end up killing more people by the end of 2020.
Last week, WFP cautioned the UN Security Council that the risk of large-scale famine in much of the developing world was now "of biblical proportions" as a result of the global pandemic.
"While dealing with a COVID-19 pandemic, we are also on the brink of a hunger pandemic," Beasley told the council. "There is also a real danger that more people could potentially die from the economic impact of COVID-19 than from the virus itself."
Even before the outbreak, 2020 was on track to be the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II due to the ongoing wars in places like Yemen, Syria and South Sudan, compounded with natural disasters and desert locust swarms across Africa.
That grim reality has been exacerbated by efforts to curb the coronavirus, which has led to cratering economies, mass job losses and crashing oil prices.
"We can confidently state that levels have risen. Quarantine regulations, shipping challenges, and overall supply chain issues are compounding and adding to previously existing starvation conditions," Ian Bradbury, CEO of the Canada-based humanitarian organization 1st NAEF, told Fox News.
"We can expect more global deaths due to secondary impacts of COVID-19 than the virus itself — the World Food Program currently estimates that 265 million will be on the brink of starvation by the end of the year."

Ah. FINALLY, The UN pipes up. I was wondering what happened to them.
So we should let the UN help screw that up and make it worse too?
No. it won’t. The food in the chain is there for a while. We might get some disruption from the southern hemisphere, but not a ton.
China, Russia, and the US are just starting their big seasons.
Meh. According to Algore, we’re already dead, and according to AOC, we’ve got less than 11 years left!
But the WHO says we have to stay in lockdown or we are bad people.
The FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE ride.
WAR (or a Dem lead panic)
FAMINE
PESTILENCE
DEATH.
What’s a un?/s
AKA The Lockdown Holodomor.
Hong Kong virus in 1968 killed 100,000 Americans in one year. No shutdown of the economy.
The city dwelling Antifa/Communist spouting Golden Horde will move into the country, looking for something to eat. We are supposed to share because, well, because.
We'll shoot them.
Well, the US has to take care of its own. So the rest is on you.
After the Global Famine, comes the DESTROYER!
No Problem. The UN can just trade oil for food.
The solution for every problem the UN discovers is for the Western World to hand over money to them.
Agree, The UN just wants more money for Their Swiss bank accounts from us while giving 1 or 2 percent to someone starving.
We just need to go back to treating this passing panicdemic like the flu in each of us by our personal conduct.
Where is freedom, where is individualism?
The curve is lowered, that was the plan!

This has become an agenda driven pandemic of the delusional masses.
How can we wake people up?
I just told the President that I did not vote for those two DC swamp rats that are leading him on...
I was really pissed at someone for saying the exact same thing as I just did on this forum about two weeks ago.
Exactly. Trump kiboshed that ASAP, yes?
