Also, this move is 100% Trump deflecting attention from the narrative of his own mis-management. He doesn't care about WHO, he probably didn't even know it existed until a few weeks ago.

Also, this move is 100% Trump deflecting attention from the narrative of his own mis-management. He doesn't care about WHO, he probably didn't even know it existed until a few weeks ago. Trump is an imbecile, and at best a useful idiot for Big Business, but that doesn't take away that the WHO has lost all credibility given how they have conducted themselves thus far. So, if nothing else I'm willing to say that he has done well by de-funding the US' portion of the WHO. What its replaced with is what the focus should really be, not Trump. But, I'd go so far as to say that I hope this reduces the rest of the World's reliance on China once and for all as we have seen the perils it has caused, which incidentally has also been a narrative of his. Although that really hasn't come to fruition despite all the trade war rhetoric, so I'd say he has failed and not gone far enough.

  It doesn’t seem like the best time to try to totally dismantle it.

    Why not, we risk going back to the centralized pitfall once again if we don't right now; it won't be easy, but its very clear that the entire World is/will be falling into a deep recession, if not depression. I'd say if local manufacturing was ramped up then at least you could spur on local employment numbers. Retraining people in this time is perhaps the most opportune as well as as they're confined at Home. Also, I don't know how close you've been following the manufacturing of respirators or medical PPE in the US, but its like people finally realized 3d printers can be used for more than pointless affections and have been repurposed to be used for medical supplies equipment and tools and have brought out the best in what the 'maker space' could be under the guidance of actual Medical professionals. There are guys on imgur who are reaching out to front liners to provide them with the equipment they can't get elsewhere at no cost. Its a do or die situation for those so heavily reliant on them for medical supplies, quite literately, as untold deaths will go unaccounted for because China sent low quality or totally faulty equipment if it was even available to begin with. It will be brushed under the unavoidable cost of a pandemic--that has been made worse because the CCP censored, and disappeared anyone who sought to speak out on the severity of COVID19. Which should have grave consequences internationally.
