The World Health Organisation & CVD19

This is a very disappointed and sad situation for the WHO. It is beyond embarrassment, since so many people died across the continents without warning or preparation to deal with COVID-19 crisis. Travel bans should be in place in December of 2019. Its too late to reverse the effect that damages the spread of the virus from human to human. Huge experience to learn from failure to respond
There is absolutely no point to the WHO if they simply do take a countries word for it in these situations. The point of an independent body is to offer the world a genuine view on possible medical emergencies. The WHO has one main role, to prevent outbreaks like this and by failing to do the one thing they are paid to do they have demonstrated they are not fit for purpose. This entire pandemic and all of the deaths and disruption involved is entirely China and the WHO fault
The WHO should be investigated - its high time that an independent body investigated all the donations by sinister organisations - and what some of these implications could mean to the world at large - money and power are not what this organisation should stand for - it should be independent not dependant on who gets all the say and the power because of the money they donate
The question I would ask is how much money do countries around the world contribute to the WHO each year? My other question is where does all this money go and what exactly do we get for our money? On current estimates it would seem very little! I assume countries such as ours and the US have been contributing to the WHO to ensure that if a large scale health scare ie a pandemic, arises we are warned, in a timely manner so we then have sufficient time to take appropriate measures. This clearly has not happened and the WHO have been seriously negligent. They and the Chinese Government have been complicit in delaying the release of damaging information resulting in the virus gaining a foothold in other parts of the world with all of the resulting consequences. This is absolutely disgraceful and a full investigation initiated into the WHO at the earliest opportunity. In the meantime we should, like the US, withhold any further funding to the WHO.
Somebody has to take responsibility. And that's why we have WHO which job is to protect the humanity from pandemics like this. If this not gonna be sorted then we do not know what other threat can come in the future. This time is not gonna be easy escape because it affected world economy hardest.
The World Health Organization's leadership told everyone that China "set the standard" for the response to the outbreak. Apparently, that standard includes lying about how it started, when it started, how it is transmitted, how contagious it is, welding people in their homes, kidnapping citizens who speak out, and disappearing all the Doctors in China who tell the truth about it. The WHO was complicit with China and through its actions helped spread this disease
This whole outbreak is exposing a disturbing underbelly of a lot of organisations we all thought trustworthy both in the UK and globally. Not many of them are standing up well to scrutiny at all and should be severely questioned once we're through this
The problem with the WHO and all other UN agencies is that they receive funding from us via influential intermediaries - our governments. Those intermediaries, and the relationships between them (i.e. geopolitics), then affect the governance and activities of those organisations. Especially because theyre directly involved in important intra-organisational decisions, such as appointments. Frankly, I feel these organisations would perform better if they were beholden to citizens rather than governments. I dont blame the WHO for failing to be sufficiently assertive with China given the above. We all know its hard to bite the hand that feeds you. Officials there have been insidiously placed in a position where they are forced to be diplomatic to a fault. In any case, comparing the impact of WHOs failure to be assertive with China to the impact of the US presidents complacency is ludicrous. Perhaps his salary should be withheld
