Kleine Schneeglöckchen / Common Snowdrop - meaning, Spring is Near
The WHO is worried about stigmatizing diseased people as well or more than the disease itself. From their site:
Here are some examples and tips on possible actions to counter stigmatizing attitudes:
• Spreading the facts: Stigma can be heightened by insufficient knowledge about how the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is transmitted and treated, and how to prevent infection.
• Engaging social influencers such as religious leaders on prompting reflection about people who are stigmatized and how to support them, or respected celebrities to amplify messages that reduce stigma.
• Amplify the voices, stories and images of local people who have experienced COVID-19 and have recovered or who have supported a loved one through recovery to emphasise that most people do recover from COVID-19.
• Make sure you portray different ethnic groups. Materials should show diverse communities that are being affected, and show communities working together to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
• Balanced reporting. Media reporting should be balanced and contextualised, disseminating evidence-based information and helping combat rumour and misinformation that could lead to stigmatisation.
• Link up. There are a number of initiatives to address stigma and stereotyping. It is key to link up to these activities to create a movement and a positive environment that shows care and empathy for all.
P.S.: Steve Sailer locks it: W.H.O.: the Greatest Enemy We Face Is Not the Virus Itself; It’s the Stigma That Turns Us Against Each Other.
My humble comment: Stigmatizing transmissible diseased persons is a natural self-defense mechanism. The World Health Organization, an influential United Nations branch, tries to convince us that the problem is not the disease itself, but our instinctive reaction to it. I think the United Nations as a whole has been infected by a mental disorder, it is not doing its job and should be replaced.
