> While clear information about the mysterious virus remains hazy, the WHO said on Tuesday that transmission between humans has not been ruled out.

“From the information that we have it is possible that there is limited human-to-human transmission, potentially among families"

The WHO report findings, and on Dec 14th there was limited evidence that it was spreading from human to human. All of that is true.

My point is WHO failed the world by trying to be politically correct with China and not listening to Taiwan. Here is how Taiwan dealt with it from the outset [0] and what Taiwan says about WHO [1].
