WHO records highest daily number of COVID-19 cases

The WHO's chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that on May 19, 2020, there were"106,000 cases reported to WHO - the most in a single day since the outbreak began". GENEVA: The World Health Organization said on Wednesday it had registered a new daily record number of COVID-19 cases as it quickly neared the"tragic milestone" of five million total infections.

The new figures come after states around the world have been dramatically ramping up their testing programmes."We still have a long way to go in this pandemic," Tedros told a virtual press conference as his agency warned of rising infection figures in poorer countries. Trump made public later on Tuesday a letter he sent to Tedros, saying that if the WHO did not commit to"major substantive improvements" within 30 days, he would permanently freeze funding to the organisation and reconsider US membership.

Trump on Monday made the surprise announcement that he is taking hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that his own government experts say is not suitable for fighting the novel coronavirus.And Brazil's health ministry recommended on Wednesday using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat even mild cases of COVID-19 - treatments President Jair Bolsonaro has pushed for despite the lack of conclusive evidence of their effectiveness.

The best thing to do to protect Americans and future pandemic is USA should freeze funds to WHO with immediate effect and withdraw membership immediately. Because WHO fails in its duty, full of lies and becomes the puppet of CCP.

Hope we are seeing the peak.

Well done America! More noise more deaths.
