The War on Cash & The W.H.O.'s Dasting Denial –
The UK press claims that the WHO issued a warning re: the handling of banknotes earlier this month:
"Banknotes may be spreading the new coronavirus so people should try to use contactless payments instead, the World Health Organization has said.
Customers should wash their hands after touching banknotes because infectious Covid-19 may cling to the surface for a number of days, the UN agency said on Monday night.
To prevent the spread of the disease, people should use contactless technology where possible, a spokesperson added.
The Bank of England has acknowledged that banknotes "can carry bacteria or viruses" and urged people to wash their hands regularly."

This is where it gets really interesting – WHO officials vehemently DENY ever issuing any such warning:
"We were misrepresented,’ a spokeswoman for the WHO told MarketWatch, referring to a British media report that the United Nations agency had linked COVID-19 and currency"

Note that the source story originated out of the UK – the Telegraph article goes out of its way to reinforce it's false WHO statements by stating that the Bank of England has also issued warnings that banknotes can carry viruses.
Conclusion – UK Cabal placing this disinfo it in Brit Media? Covid-19 pandemic is a perfect vehicle for Cabal's ongoing effort to eliminate physical currency once and for all.
Cross-reference w/ the shocking statements made by Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney, during annual gathering of central bankers in Jackson Hole, WY Aug. 2019:
"The Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, has challenged the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency, arguing that it could be replaced by a global digital alternative to end a savings glut that resulted in 10 years of low inflation and ultra-low interest rates.
Likening the move to the end of sterling’s command of international money markets 100 years ago, Carney said the dollar had reached a level of dominance that meant it was a barrier to a sustainable recovery.
He said a new digital currency backed by a large group of nations would unlock dollar funds that governments currently hoard as an insurance policy in uncertain times."

Note Carney's reference to 'uncertain times' (like they were inevitable & imminent) when Central Banks need to hoard US Dollars… wonder if he knew about the COVID-19 roll-out when he made these statements?
Finally, here's where we are now –
"In times of trouble, all sorts of companies, banks and investors want to hold dollars. It is the world’s reserve currency and considered the safest.So as financial markets careen, the demand for dollars is huge, and it’s exacerbating dislocations across financial markets. The demand is coming from all sorts of sources — banks, issuers of dollar-denominated debt; investors selling dollar-based assets; companies looking for cash for U.S. operations; and foreign banks looking to help customers. All of them are pressuring the currency.Investors have been selling financial assets around the world and that has been fueling even more demand for dollars and has been sending currencies lower. The selling has also snowballed, triggering even more asset sales, and more need for dollars.
The Federal Reserve is expanding existing swap lines and adding lines to more central banks so that whatever institution needs dollar funding can have better access to it. "https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/19/a-global-rush-into-the-us-dollar-is-driving-extreme-market-moves-and-a-temporary-shortage.html
