They took forever to declare it a pandemic, they recited the CCP line about the virus, don't stop flights from China, keep trade going with them, the list goes on.
They were incompetent to the nth degree on this.

They admit mistakes were made. But mistakes were made all over the place with Covid and continue to be.

Laugh all yiz want but the WHO is ****ed without the funding.

Is it absolutely necessary for all the speakers to lick Trump’s ar$e to the extent that they do. What a bunch of sycophants?

Rob A. Bank

The USA pays 15% of the WHO budget of which Congress controls 12%... therefore Trump only controls a grand total of 3% of the WHO budget. The Gates Foundation contributes more than Congress does. The figure is less than the cost of a large metropolitan hospital yearly.

see Big job, modest budget half way down the page below.

The US contributes 14% funding to the WHO.

Has any other developed nation buried it's citizens in mass graves during this crisis?

There are still flights all over the states.

He didn't shut down internal flights, they are still going.

Just like Trump trying to distract from their own failings and mishandling.

Remember the CCP wouldn't even let them in til some 8-10 weeks after the outbreak. And then a very controlled visit

This is a country who when it all kicked off let homeless people in vegas sleep in car parks like they were doing them a favour while hotels lay empty. Still can't shake that image.

There is a proper emergency shelter/ treatment center set up now. That was a temporary measure due to an existing one having to close due to a case of the virus.

Are hotels in Ireland putting homeless people in the empty rooms?

WHO has deleted all JAN , FEB Tweets

Such as

“Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus.”

That same day, the Wuhan Health Commission’s public bulletin declared, “We have not found proof for human-to-human transmission.”

Almost word for word. WHO was eating up what China was feeding them.

And we all called it out at the time, so Trump is right about the way they handled it, it was shockingly poor.

True but when China wouldn't let them in (and especially any American specialists) they should have been asking questions about what was really going on instead of toeing the party line

Imagine if they had suggested we advise to restrict travel to and from Wuhan and China in general we wouldn't be where we are now

I don't think so. New York one of the richest places on the planet. American society is crazy.

Here we go, another expert.

The States give them around 20 per cent of their entire funding.

Ffs. Thats a big chunk of change.

Looking at the USA numbers, it really is crazy how rampant it is over there. 20% of the confirmed deaths in the world, 30% of the confirmed cases in the world, but only 4% of the world population. I know that lack of testing/underreporting elsewhere is skewing this a bit but those numbers are a shock to me

Trump himself said China were handling it brilliantly, and wanted to personally thank the Chinese president for it.

The US had intelligence saying otherwise, and Trump cut back the CDC, including those working in China.

Yep. Just watched a report on mass burial of muslims in the UK yesterday. No time to dig individual graves.

More than 650 apartments, hotel rooms and single-occupancy rooms have been sourced across Dublin for homeless people, and all emergency accommodation will stay open 24 hours a day during the coronavirus outbreak.

Said it so many many threads ago about the WHO - far too political and all about saving face instead of calling out countries fecking up.

I think you have this backward. They can't afford to play politics and have to operate wherever virus appear, even in dictatorships that are less than honest. If they didn't play ball in those places they wouldn't be granted access and their ability to track the virus would be greatly reduced. It's a balancing act.

What Trump is doing IS politics and incredible dangerous.

That is contradictory to their name World Health Organisation - not worrying about saying something to upset a country. Even the virus name - MERS, SARS... but now we have a new naming system to remove country racial profiling of it's origin. (edit just on this - all infections in China are now imported - think about that, the virus is coming from somewhere else...)
They should be thinking about protecting all humans regardless of who they upset.

They definitely messed up in January and it's generally recognised they did but their experts have done a lot of good work in recent weeks.

And they'll receive less cooperation and more secrecy if they followed your method. It's basic diplomacy.

They probably have similar cases to Italy, Spain and the UK. Based on a rough fatality rate of 1% all those countries have between 1 to 2 million cases. UK testing is relatively small and targetted.
