I have no idea why they keep deleting articles after publishing.  I won't speculate, but luckily I still had it open on a window:

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year.

Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3 billion global workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and access to quality health care and have lost access to productive assets. Without the means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less nutritious food.

The pandemic has been affecting the entire food system and has laid bare its fragility. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets, including for buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural workers from harvesting crops, thus disrupting domestic and international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy, safe and diverse diets. The pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit.

Millions of agricultural workers – waged and self-employed – while feeding the world, regularly face high levels of working poverty, malnutrition and poor health, and suffer from a lack of safety and labour protection as well as other types of abuse. With low and irregular incomes and a lack of social support, many of them are spurred to continue working, often in unsafe conditions, thus exposing themselves and their families to additional risks. Further, when experiencing income losses, they may resort to negative coping strategies, such as distress sale of assets, predatory loans or child labour. Migrant agricultural workers are particularly vulnerable, because they face risks in their transport, working and living conditions and struggle to access support measures put in place by governments. Guaranteeing the safety and health of all agri-food workers – from primary producers to those involved in food processing, transport and retail, including street food vendors – as well as better incomes and protection, will be critical to saving lives and protecting public health, people’s livelihoods and food security.

In the COVID-19 crisis food security, public health, and employment and labour issues, in particular workers’ health and safety, converge. Adhering to workplace safety and health practices and ensuring access to decent work and the protection of labour rights in all industries will be crucial in addressing the human dimension of the crisis. Immediate and purposeful action to save lives and livelihoods should include extending social protection towards universal health coverage and income support for those most affected. These include workers in the informal economy and in poorly protected and low-paid jobs, including youth, older workers, and migrants. Particular attention must be paid to the situation of women, who are over-represented in low-paid jobs and care roles. Different forms of support are key, including cash transfers, child allowances and healthy school meals, shelter and food relief initiatives, support for employment retention and recovery, and financial relief for businesses, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. In designing and implementing such measures it is essential that governments work closely with employers and workers.

Countries dealing with existing humanitarian crises or emergencies are particularly exposed to the effects of COVID-19. Responding swiftly to the pandemic, while ensuring that humanitarian and recovery assistance reaches those most in need, is critical.

Now is the time for global solidarity and support, especially with the most vulnerable in our societies, particularly in the emerging and developing world. Only together can we overcome the intertwined health and social and economic impacts of the pandemic and prevent its escalation into a protracted humanitarian and food security catastrophe, with the potential loss of already achieved development gains.

We must recognize this opportunity to build back better, as noted in the Policy Brief issued by the United Nations Secretary-General. We are committed to pooling our expertise and experience to support countries in their crisis response measures and efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We need to develop long-term sustainable strategies to address the challenges facing the health and agri-food sectors. Priority should be given to addressing underlying food security and malnutrition challenges, tackling rural poverty, in particular through more and better jobs in the rural economy, extending social protection to all, facilitating safe migration pathways and promoting the formalization of the informal economy.

We must rethink the future of our environment and tackle climate change and environmental degradation with ambition and urgency. Only then can we protect the health, livelihoods, food security and nutrition of all people, and ensure that our ‘new normal’ is a better one.

No spin is necessary.  Mitch was blaming Republicans ignorantly for the stalemate.  I simply pointed out that the GOP senate tried to hold a vote on legislation, and it was filibustered by Democrats.  More Americans blame Pelosi than Trump.  That's not spin.   Biden just shot down your court packing fantasy.  Is that spin too?

I know you guys struggle to stay consistent, with calling the GOP obstructionist for 8 years and continuing to do so even when the GOP controls 2 parts of government.  But mandating minorities be hired on executive boards and hundreds of millions for mismanaged Democratic cities isn't something the American people are behind.  Trump wants the $1200 or similar stimulus, he wants more loans to businesses.  He ordered (illegally imho) extra pay for unemployment.  I'm not a Trump fan, but you two don't get to lie about reality because you can't be bothered to read more than two news articles spoon fed to you a day.

Mitch, you're back on ignore.  Celebrate your ignorance and complete lack of basic facts and current events.  Tell me how white supremacist are in the streets rioting just as much as Antifa and BLM.  Now respond to me and tell me how much you care.

I didn't say they were against them entirely.  Quit putting words in my mouth.  I don't know where you're from and what your experiences are.  In the US, much of the nation is still under lockdown orders, 6 months later.  Your reading comprehension is non-existent and to prove it, show me where I said the WHO is against lockdowns entirely.  The reality is that lockdowns have an economic cost, but also a human cost.  People who lose their income, homes and health insurance are all worse off. 

None of you want to say when we can go back to normal.  The vaccine is cited by some, but show me a vaccine that has a 100% efficiency rate and then show me what the possible vaccine candidates for COVID are supporting.  We have people that refuse to get a FLU vaccine, refuse to avoid gathering in large crowds, and can't wear their masks right. 

Please don't make up an argument to argue against.  I'm advocating for the other solutions that WHO prefers over lockdowns.  You completely ignore that and think my argument is about the WHO opposing any and all lockdown.  6 month lockdowns is not something any medical professional is advocating, but we have plenty of Democratic politicians doing just that.  Fauci says we can vote in person, but nearly every state led by a Democratic governor is stripping any safeguards over the election. 

If you're going to insult my intellect, at least respond to what I post.

Neither of you have a basic clue on current events, do you?  The Senate tried to vote on a bill, and the Democrats filibustered.  Biden said Saturday that the voters don't deserve to know his stance on court packing and the filibuster.  ACB keeping up with every other justice and not commenting on pending court cases is standard procedure - every Justice has done it.  You two have your echo chamber and are completely clueless how uninformed you are.  There is no attempt at objectvity.
