Do you have any reason to believe the situation would have been handled much differently if the outbreak originated in say, for example, the US?
I am not too sure the result would have been much different.
- dvdkon 5y agoThat's not the point, at all. The point is that the WHO and others like it should be apolitical and not be subservient to any government.
- oogabooga123 5y agoSeems like this supports the idea we should be taking a hard look at WHO, because your take would imply extreme incompetence, not just being complicit in a cover up
- the-dude 5y agoI watched the WHO press conferences in the first 1-2 months. Then I watched our government ( The Netherlands ) and our neighbors ( and the US ) ignore their recommendations. I recall the Brit saying they were in talks with the EU to halt Schengen. Never heard anything about it since. It is not the WHO which is political, it is our politicians who are political.
