When politics trumps science

Much like the difference between the ideals of the founders of the United Nations and the actuality, we now see the reality of the WHO (World Health Organization) and how they failed the world over politics.

China asked WHO to "Cover Up" coronavirus on Jan 21. (maybe true, maybe not...but I;d bet it is true)

So for nearly a MONTH the world failed to plan for, or take measures against, the outbreak of Covid 19. How many folks died because of the delay, especially in Europe?

(Now, I think we and most of western Europe overreacted, but we did so too late. Really, China should have told us back in early December, but....)

Remember the US pays approximately 40% of the WHO costs. Why are we paying for this sort of failure?
