WHO is hilarious. They told us only what we already knew. For instance, they told the world that there was a pandemic only when everyone knew the pandemic was happening. I mean, what's the use of WHO if it couldn't even forecast something so obvious?
No wonder a meme is WHO cares.
- yorwba 7y agoThe WHO is a coordinating body. They don't exist to tell anyone anything new. They didn't "tell the world that there was a pandemic". They formally declared that the pandemic fulfilled the criteria to be officially recognized as such. Maybe you don't see any use in that, but someone who needs to plan for the event of a pandemic probably appreciates it that they can simply write "if the WHO declares a pandemic" and rest assured that this will happen if and only if there's actually a pandemic.
