What you remember seems to be a little bit distorted. Coronavirus not a global health crisis, WHO says; China reports 8 more deaths, restricts 18M people This article clearly states it is a snapshot and not a declaration that Covid-19 isn't serious. The wording in the article,Really, so the WHO started issuing warnings in January. Warning that circulated in the administration since then. So how do you suggest "our own" will be made aware in a timely way whenever there's a new virus somewhere in the world? You do know that the WHO is the only organization that is equipped to do so?In the middle of a world pandemic.
Brilliant.
Not.
Our first responsibility is to OUR OWN.
"the WHO started issuing warnings in January"
Oh... you mean when they said there was nothing to worry about?

Such declarations can result in more resources made available to combat outbreaks but also can spur restrictions on trade and travel.
"This should not be taken as a sign that WHO does not think the situation is serious or that we’re not taking it seriously," Tedros said.
That's the problem with all you guys. All you have is talking points but absolutely no intellectual honesty.
Could've, would've, should've, but didn't. In fact, the WHO didn't declare the coronavirus to be a pandemic until MARCH ELEVENTH.

The WHO is a worthless organization that only serves as a mouthpiece for commies. Only when the virus had already spread like wildfire did they actually admit there was a serious problem. Spare me your bullshit virtue signaling. You can't rewrite history.
