On Jan. 22, two days after Chinese officials first publicized the serious threat posed by the new virus ravaging the city of Wuhan, the chief of the World Health Organization held the first of what would be months of almost daily media briefings, sounding the alarm, telling the world to take the outbreak seriously.
But with its officials divided, the W.H.O., still seeing no evidence of sustained spread of the virus outside of China, declined the next day to declare a global public health emergency. A week later, the organization reversed course and made the declaration.
Those early days of the epidemic illustrated the strengths and weaknesses of the W.H.O., an arm of the United Nations that is now under fire by President Trump, who on Tuesday ordered a cutoff of American funding to the organization.
With limited, constantly shifting information to go on, the W.H.O. showed an early, consistent determination to treat the new contagion like the threat it would become, and to persuade others to do the same. At the same time, the organization repeatedly praised China, acting and speaking with a political caution born of being an arm of the United Nations, with few resources of its own, unable to do its work without international cooperation.
Mr. Trump, deflecting criticism that his own handling of the crisis left the United States unprepared, accused the W.H.O. of mismanaging it, called the organization very China-centric and said it had pushed Chinas misinformation.
But a close look at the record shows that the W.H.O. acted with greater foresight and speed than many national governments, and more than it had shown in previous epidemics. And while it made mistakes, there is little evidence that the W.H.O. is responsible for the disasters that have unfolded in Europe and then the United States.

“Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the organization had said.
It is awfully suspicious for the NYT to carry WHO’s water and defend it when WHO was derelict in its duty to the world.
...Thats the Chinese Money talking.
I would love to see an audit of the “donations” to CNN and NYT from ChiCom, Saudi, and Iranian sources. It would be... illuminating
More bunk from the NYT...
Does anyone believe the Times?
Indeed.
The left is now really scared.
There is much more here than even Faux is reporting.
I’d bet Gates-Soros involvement here goes beyond simply throwing $$$ at Wuhan and W.H.O
MSM payoffs, CA Senators and congressmen, DNC kickbacks.
So the left once again sides with America’s enemies instead of America. Where is the “news” in this?
Fauci said dont worry about it as late as February 29 in his Today Show appearance.
Short answer; yes.
People seek out those who speak their own version of ‘truths’ to validate their ideals
The NY SLIMES—is SO obvious.
They didn’t, and it’s easy to verify they didn’t;

“....Demonrat Party+Demonrat Media+Chinese Bio Weapon = Chinese Collusion Pandemic.....”
Nail, meet hammer.
Many of us have smelled nothin’ but stinkin’ “RAT” right from the very start of this fiasco. The U.S. collaborators need to be outed. Their names need to made public to every household in America affected by this. They need to be publicly hanged for treason, mass murder, etc.

Don’t ‘gaslight’ me bro!
Very nice list, could have included Sen. Feinstein’s Chinese spy, limo driver.
No, they didn’t. As usual, our President is spot on with this.
Lying bastards!!!
The NYT: stooges for CCP and WHO.
