#China and the #WHO's chief: Hold them both accountable for pandemic👍

Tedros turned a blind eye to what happened in #Wuhan & in China & after meeting with Xi in January, has helped China to play down the severity & scope of the #coronavirus outbreak
thehill.com/opinion/intern…
From the outset, Tedros defended China despite its gross mismanagement of #coronavirus. As cases & deaths soared, WHO took months to declare the outbreak as a pandemic, even though it had met the criteria of transmission between people, high fatality rates & worldwide spread.
When Trump took a critical step to stop coronavirus at US borders by issuing a travel ban on Jan. 31, Tedros said widespread travel bans & restrictions were not needed to stop the outbreak & could “have the effect of increasing fear & stigma, with little public health benefit”
