Hi Sharon , do you know if the WHO Press Conference has been delayed or postponed ?

It should have started 19:30 right?
And now it is 19:45 and no PC on either WHO Twitter or facebook .
 
News just announced WHO declared a Global emergency. I watched it. Did I miss the declaration? I don't remember that ... but hubby walked in from work during part of it, so maybe I missed it ... :rolleyes:
