'We have been warning from day one that this is a devil that everyone should fight.' WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom defending the institution regarding its actions during the coronavirus pandemic

"We have been warning from day one that this is a devil that everyone should fight," Tedros told a virtual briefing in Geneva. Washington is the biggest contributor to the WHO but Trump is freezing funding, alleging that the organisation mismanaged and covered up the spread the virus. "Having CDC staff means there is nothing hidden from the US, from day one. Because these are Americans working with us. It just comes naturally and they tell what they are doing," said Tedros.
Debate has raged over the significance of Taiwan's email, which informed the WHO of the reports from Wuhan, and of at least seven patients being isolated — something that would not be necessary for a non-infectious disease.
