Who is Dr. Harlem Brundtland? Compared to her does the WHO today flunk, and even Dr Fauci, Dr Redfield fall short
05/20/2020
Dr. Harlem Brundtland was head of the WHo during the SARS crisis which originated in China in 2003. Her swift action included questioning China's suppression of the openness of its scientific and medical community at the time, alerting the world to take action to control the epidemic. The U.S. clearly brings up Dr. Brundtland as the model that was not followed in its letter to the WHO of May 18, 2020. Dr. Redfield, head U.S. CDC was alerted by Dr. Gao Fu head of China's CDC and its medical scientific community on Dec. 31, 2019, and through Dr. Redfield the American medical scientific community including Dr. Fauci, in an early warning of what was to happen. Dr Brundtland is a three time prime minister of Norway starting with the first term in 1981 and ending with the third term in 1996. She was head of the Labor Party and had a distinguished record including her work in climate change, sustainable development and other issues. The WHO earned much respect under her leadership of the organization.

Ford Motor's disaster in the Chinese market by 2019- management out of touch with China's love of technology
07/23/2019
Ford management turnover at CEO and head of China operations and executives from Europe/ U.S. transplanted to China lacking touch with local conditions led to the disaster in the Chinese market with $1.5 billion in losses in 2018 and loss of about half of the Chinese market by 2019. Exuberant expansion as a latecomer hurt Ford, Peugeot and Hyundai, as the Chinese market declined in 2018-2019 with the new Trump administration in conflict with China over trade goals.

05/16/2020
France abandoned its effort first ramped up by the SARS pandemic, and utilized in H1N1 pandemic, and ditched this after H1N1 never happened. Britain's effort first ramped up SARS pandemic, continued through H1N1 right into the Cygnus exercize as a rehearsal preparation for a pandemic right into 2016, and lost interest after 2016 with the Brexit struggles in the country. By 2019 both countries were woefully short, China's underreporting, the lack of transparency, added to lack of enough awareness of danger in cruc1al weeks of January and February 2020.

Talking Mindfulness on the C.E.O. Beat
New York Times 01/12/19
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
