America deeply disturbed that Taiwan’s information was withheld from global health community. FMTNews Covid19 WHO Pandemic

WASHINGTON: The US on Thursday accused the World Health Organization of putting politics first by ignoring early coronavirus warnings by Taiwan, which voiced outrage over criticism from the UN body’s chief.

Trump himself said in January that the US had the coronavirus “totally under control” and predicted it may go away in April as temperatures rise. Chen, an epidemiologist, told the Financial Times that Taiwanese doctors had learned that colleagues in Wuhan were falling ill but that the WHO did not work to confirm the finding.

“Three months ago, this attack came from Taiwan,” Tedros told reporters in Geneva, referring to online criticism and insults. “Our country has never encouraged the public to launch personal attacks against him or made any racially discriminatory comments,” foreign ministry spokesman Joanne Ou told reporters on Thursday.

Beijing responded that Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party, which emphasises Taiwan’s separate identity, has engaged in “political manipulation” over the WHO.
