It's only alarming to hear that coming from China because you know they'd hide that info if they could. It's probably already been back on the upswing but now it's at such an alarming rate that even they can't hide it anymore.

Incredibly stupid comment and it mirrors what Pompeo said about the WHO supporting the goals of the Chinese Communist Party. Now we're cutting funding for the WHO at a time we need them the most.
I might have agreed with you historically, but right now we need the WHO about as much as I need a pimple on my ass. They were supposed to be our early warning system, but they failed miserably. The more this saga goes on, the more it is becoming apparent that the WHO, at the very least, succumbed to pressure from Beijing to suppress important information and perhaps outright collaborated.
IMHO Trump should hold withhold every dollar until they fire every person at the WHO responsible for this debacle, starting with everyone in top leadership.

That's a paranoid fantasy. At worst the WHO was too accepting, early on, and didn't push the Chinese hard enough for real information.
Trump's scapegoating the WHO for his own incompetence. Defunding the WHO is being condemned by just about everyone across the globe and by our own AMA (you know, MDs who actually know what they're talking about).

This at least is what we know so far. At the very least, WHO leadership bent over backwards to pander to the Chinese and ignore what was smacking them in the face, at least until they could ignore it no longer.
Now I'm not going to blame either the WHO, Trump or anyone else for not accurately predicting the behavior of a relatively unknown virus since, unlike you, I'm not an emotional simpleton who needs a bad guy to blame. Nor do I share your need to try to join a herd (like the AMA's PR department) to feel better about my position. The simple reality is that the WHO could have given us a more clarity a bit sooner had it been doing its job rather than sucking Chinese dick for the sake of political comity. For this reason alone I'm in favor of withholding funds until it cleans house.
You can forgive China for completely burying the truth, yet not forgive Trump for giving his unvarnished opinions and urging calm in the face of completely unobstructed U.S. numbers?
You know Papi, there's a term for that kind of thinking. More than one actually. 😉
There seems to be a whole bunch of folks with very different POVs opposing Trump and his position on WHO I’m not convinced either as much as I distrust the Chinese Coms this seems not well thought out to me.
