Every? B.S.
On Jan. 30 the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. That announcement is a trigger for the agency’s member governments to follow its recommendations. These include establishing a comprehensive programme of testing, quarantining people suspected to be infected, and tracing their contacts.
The US completely ignored it, while Germany, Signapore, South Korea, didn't.
Nobody is claiming the WHO is perfect, but come on, this is such political hogwash.

The US cannot do a lot of things. The individual states in the US can do things. Trump closed the borders at the end of January which is basically all he could do.
