Jan 29: WHO (incl Bruce Aylward) lavishes praise on PRC’s belated but draconian response, saying that Xi Jinping "helped prevent the spread of the virus to other countries".
They refuse to declare a public health emergency since it hadn’t spread to other countries. https://www.statnews.com/2020/01/29/who-reconvene-expert-committee-coronavirus/ [Narrator: it had. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/22/world/coronavirus-spread.html]
Read this short article to understand how WHO is currently catering to PRC’s demands to not only deny Taiwan official membership, but even ban Taiwan’s health experts from *being in the room* while WHO members discuss such topics as emerging diseases: https://time.com/5805629/coronavirus-taiwan
Mar 28: Bruce Aylward from WHO is asked by a journalist from the public broadcaster of Hong Kong whether WHO will reconsider including Taiwan. His response is… I can’t even. You just have to watch it: HT @ebfull
As of today, Taiwan has only a few covid-19 cases and only two deaths, despite being only a few miles from China and having hundreds of thousands of citizens who travel back and forth to China regularly.
