Something similar happens in the UK. Local councils get cash from central government for every child taken from a parent and placed for adoption. They have a quota to meet.

A friend of mine got taken into hospital temporarily, and her kid went into care because she had no nearby family. Good mother, no abuse. She just got sick. I was away at the time, or I'd have taken him.

They started trying to remove him for adoption immediately while she was in intensive care. Zero history of abuse or neglect on her part. When she got out they made her go through a whole bunch of bullshit before she could get him back. They only backed off when it became not only was she way brighter than they originally thought (they even made her do an IQ test and were stunned to know it was about 120) but she had sorted out legal intervention as soon as she was out of the hospital.

They've taken to targeting chav single mothers too uneducated to fight back. It's pretty awful and most people have no idea what's going on.

Has anyone looked into or read the WHO "treatment guidelines for patients with ARI associated with COVID-19?" This is apparently what is being used in US hospitals to triage patients. The "COVID-19 care pathway" and use of terms such as "persons under investigation" are concerning along with the fact that it seems like if you presented to the hospital with just about any symptom, you will be treated as a "person under investigation" and immediately quarantined by yourself with no family members allowed and you begin your journey on the "COVID-19 care pathway" to.....death? Also note the symptoms in children that would make them a "person under investigation" that make no sense. They include things like mental symptoms and slow pulse. Not to mention children are also being isolated without parents if they are "persons under investigation" and if the parent also has symptoms, the document says that both the parent and child with symptoms should stay home and not go to the hospital.

Oh....and the almost immediate use of ventilators for any person under investigation despite whether they actually cannot breathe on their own is scary.

Was Trump's investigation into the WHO over a concern that their treatment "pathway" is somehow dangerous to people who don't even have COVID entering hospitals? Thoughts?
