Had they raised alarm early on, more countries would have enforced proper procedures (look at South Korea). Instead, the thing spread around and starts impacting economy.
To me, WHO lost all credibility.
You're going to need to cite a source because there's no chance anyone remotely educated would make that statement.
The WHO and CDC botched this. Because of their messaging a lot of people (the majority of people!) didn't take this virus seriously, and that is going to result in real human lives lost.
Too soon?
As in, who do people like you, who claim that WHO's maybe flawed handling of this has erased all of the work they've done in the past, consider the best source of truth in these matters?
Are you saying Covid-19 isn't a pandemic anymore?
> This should have been done way earlier
Not what you're sayin.
So I read OP's comment as self-contradictory and am still not quite sure what to make of it.
So the only (provided) statement we should disbelieve is that Covid-19 is a pandemic. Which is precisely what OP wanted them to say. Hence the contradiction.
Obviously, this line of reasoning is tenuous, but the initial claim isn't much better, as nothing is said of what it really means for the WHO to have credibility.
I read that comment as an additional armchair semanticist making the strong claim that (exaggeration mine) the WHO should have declared the pandemic before the virus reached their own country.
Not even 1 second of TV in the 12 months they are alive.
I was curious why, and after researching they had 0 Data. This decision was made by a panel.
Ahhh good old tradition and mysticism.
