45 - WHO politics puts us all at risk?

<p>In this deep dive I ask the question, has the World Health Organisation, and the politicis it plays, put all of us at risk. The WHO advised against trade and travel restrictions against China amid the coronavirus outbreak, and at times downplayed the seriousness of the virus. &nbsp;</p> <p>I go over a few articles to go over the case: &nbsp;</p> <p>- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-05/who-coronavirus-update-china-travel/11930752?fbclid=IwAR1ZOmGbGunHa5rnjxg7HsfRlet3b8i62AC0fP6LMFxzKEebgsR88Sp42ho &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>- https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-anger-is-growing-at-china-over-covid-19-and-its-apparent-cover-up-attempt-11966539 &nbsp;</p> <p>- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-31/who-accused-of-suppressing-taiwan-coronavirus-response-data/12101512 &nbsp;</p> <p>AND the absolute must watch video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpQFCcSI0pU &nbsp;</p> <p>Even the Australian touched on the dodgy numbers coming out of China, https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/china-hides-one-third-of-120000-confirmed-coronavirus-cases/news-story/edeb5ed9a3ef474ef1af8917856f27bf &nbsp;</p> <p>China has under-reported its confirmed COVID-19 cases by one third, &nbsp;“More than 43,000 people in China had tested positive for COVID-19 by the end of February but had no immediate symptoms, a condition typically known as ¬asymptomatic,” the newspaper ¬reported, citing classified Chinese government data. &nbsp;As well as massively increasing China’s confirmed case numbers from its declared 81,600 to well over 120,000 — twice the amount in Italy — the revelation undermines claims by the World Health Organisation that have downplayed the proportion of COVID-19 cases without visible symptoms. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The WHO — which despite sending an “investigative team” to China in February for a fortnight was apparently unaware of the country’s huge asymptomatic caseload — has also said that ¬infections by silent carriers were “relatively rare”. &nbsp;That has been called into question by epidemiologists around the world wh
