GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization no longer uses the term pandemic, but the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak remains an international emergency that is likely to spread further, a spokesman said on Monday.

Fears of a coronavirus pandemic grew after sharp rises in new cases reported in Iran, Italy and South Korea, although China relaxed restrictions on movement in several places including Beijing as its rates of new infections eased.

Maybe this is why WHO said they won’t call a “pandemic” any more

The World Bank’s “pandemic bonds” are designed so investors pay in the event of an outbreak

How convenient. Completely disband all government organizations that fail so miserably.
