blames the World Health Organization for being too china centric while Trump's own response is nothing to write home about there is merit in the president's claims let's give you a detailed account of how the w-h-o failed to read the warning signals time and time again it was on the 31st of December last year that China reported a new strain of the coronavirus to the World Health Organization country office Chinese authorities referred to a seafood market in ohan as the focal point but it was
only in late February that the World Health Organization team was actually granted permission to visit Ohan that turned out to be the epicenter of this virus for close to two months that the World Health Organization's response was based on the information that was being published by the Chinese government and this had consequences on the 13th of January the first case was reported outside China in Thailand the patient had not visited the seafood market in ohan but World HealthOrganization refused to believe this was a case of human to human transmission they used a study conducted by China to reject this possibility experts argue that the exponential rise in the number of cases was a clear indication of human-to-human transmission it was only on the 20th of January that China confirmed human to human transmission keep in mind that during this whole time infected patients from China were making their way across the world unaware that they were carriers of a deadly infection on January 23rd when China quarantine the entire city of ohan it was obviousto the world that the situation was serious but the World Health Organization was still dragging its feet on the same day the organization issued an intermediate level alert despite the call for at least a public health emergency Proclamation that announcement came seven days later by which time it
