Can you list even a single thing they have done a good job of in their handling of this crisis? And which countries are you referring to exactly which have worked with them and are doing well? They won't even acknowledge Taiwan which is handling this better than almost every other country.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoTaiwan's handling of Covid-19 is based on WHO's advice. Same for Korea. They experienced SARS, MERS (for Korea), and prepared. The WHO have been working on pandemic scenarios for years. They worked out plans to prepare and respond, they alerted on the risk. The attacks against them are crass political games by desperate and inept politicians.

- ryanwaggoner 6y agoSure, almost everything on this timeline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization%27s_response_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic#Timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization%27s_... They setup a response team within a day or two of hearing from China about a handful of atypical pneumonia cases, they notified all member states within a few days of that (including of the risk of human-to-human transmission), and within another week they had issued comprehensive testing guidance and asked a German team to design a test. This was all within the first couple weeks.
