On Jan. 22, two days after Chinese officials first publicized the serious threat posed by the new virus ravaging the city of Wuhan, the chief of the World Health Organization held the first of what would be months of almost daily media briefings, sounding the alarm, telling the world to take the outbreak seriously.
But with its officials divided, the W.H.O., still seeing no evidence of sustained spread of the virus outside of China, declined the next day to declare a global public health emergency. A week later, the organization reversed course and made the declaration.
Those early days of the epidemic illustrated the strengths and weaknesses of the W.H.O., an arm of the United Nations that is now under fire by President Trump, who on Tuesday ordered a cutoff of American funding to the organization.
With limited, constantly shifting information to go on, the W.H.O. showed an early, consistent determination to treat the new contagion like the threat it would become, and to persuade others to do the same. At the same time, the organization repeatedly praised China, acting and speaking with a political caution born of being an arm of the United Nations, with few resources of its own, unable to do its work without international cooperation.
Mr. Trump, deflecting criticism that his own handling of the crisis left the United States unprepared, accused the W.H.O. of mismanaging it, called the organization “very China-centric” and said it had “pushed China’s misinformation.”
But a close look at the record shows that the W.H.O. acted with greater foresight and speed than many national governments, and more than it had shown in previous epidemics. And while it made mistakes, there is little evidence that the W.H.O. is responsible for the disasters that have unfolded in Europe and then the United States.

Liberals defending global organizations and China, big surprise.
That’s the Chinese Money talking.
Oh look, it’s the predictable NYT, like a persistent and annoying tick on a dog’s ass.
Yes, world health requires that the US continue to fund 1st class airline flights and 7* luxury resort stays around the world for corrupt UN officials. Anything less is a dereliction of the responsibility of 1st world climate rapists to provide social justice to the developing world.
That same day Fauci said...Don't worry about it. Fauci said it again On Feb 3rd and Feb 17th.
Nice try NYSlimes.....
“Mr. Trump”
It is “President Trump”, you traitorous, unAmerican, Godless NYT scum.
And — we’re a republic, NOT a democracy.
Why doesn’t anyone bother to read this trash or post it.
This plays into Trump’s hands: Leftists/Democrats defending ex-U.S. entities most of the country knows are incompetent and corrupt.
Demonrat Party+Demonrat Media+Chinese Bio Weapon = Chinese Collusion Pandemic
The Dems reflexively side with the enemies of America.
Every single time.

The NY Times can try to re-write history as it constantly tries to do, but the reality is that the WHO condemned President Trump for banning travel from China to the US. That happened at the end of January. It could have happened sooner if Taiwan’s letter to the WHO from December had been made known to the WHO members.
No amount of ink can cover that up.
They certainly defended Stalin.
Pandemonic. ‘Rats have infested the republic. EXTERMINATION alert! They and their PROPAGANDISTS left EVIL in their rear-view mirror decades ago. Another battle on a 1-way platform lost.
NY Times - Donald G. McNeil Jr. noted.
China has a lot of newspaper people on their payroll.
In 1932 Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about the Soviet Union, eleven of which were published in June 1931. He was criticized for his subsequent denial of widespread famine (1932–1933) in the USSR, most particularly the famine in Ukraine. Years later, there were calls to revoke his Pulitzer. In 1990, The New York Times, which submitted his works for the prize in 1932, wrote that his later articles denying the famine constituted "some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper."
Thanks. Great post. Education/history/documentation BUMP!
