Under scrutiny: The WHO’s performance in its handling of the global COVID-19 fight is back in the spotlight as the Trump administration announces the U.S. will quit the body in a year

LONDON - The World Health Organization is back in the spotlight over its performance in the global fight against the new coronavirus after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration gave notice it would quit the body in a year’s time.

It has no power to impose health policies on national governments, but acts as an adviser and offers guidance on best practice in disease prevention and health improvement.- preventing and responding to acute emergenciesLike a lot of international institutions, the WHO suffers from false perceptions about its scope and resources.

Assessed contributions are calculated on the basis of a country’s wealth and population, while voluntary contributions are often targeted by the donor at specific regions or diseases - such as polio, malaria, or infant mortality in poor areas. In the past few years, the WHO has also coordinated battles against viral epidemics of Ebola in Congo and Zika in Brazil.

WHO confirms there's 'emerging evidence' of airborne transmission of coronavirusThe World Health Organization confirmed there is 'emerging evidence' of airborne transmission of the coronavirus following the publication of a letter Monday signed by 239 scientists that urged the agency to be more forthcoming about the likelihood that people can catch the virus from droplets floating in the air. Fed up of this news regarding Covid-19 . Today they say there is evidence of airborne transmission n tomorrow yet another update saying no airborne transmission. Do us a favour , when you are 100 sure than please announce it to public 💁‍♀️ Of course it’s airborn idiots. We will all get the virus eventually. We need the vaccine !!!!!!!!! Testing just wastes our resources. Put that $$$$$ into quicker vaccine. Not trying to defend WHO, they definitely could have handled all of this better, but studies take time to plan, conduct and publish. And only after many studies have been done and reviewed in a peer journal can their conclusions be considered valid. It makes sense it takes time.
