A new global system should be set up to respond faster to disease outbreaks to help ensure no future virus causes a pandemic as devastating as COVID-19, an independent World Health Organization review panel said on Wednesday.

The experts found crucial shortcomings in the global response in early 2020 - including a delay in declaring an emergency, a failure to impose travel restrictions and an entire "lost month" when countries neglected to respond to warnings - that let the virus quickly spread into a crippling pandemic.

Co-chair Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a former president of Liberia, said: "We are calling for a new surveillance-and-alert system that is based on transparency and allows WHO to publish information immediately."Health ministers will debate the findings at the WHO's annual assembly opening on May 24. Diplomats say the European Union is driving reform efforts at the UN agency though this will take time.

Clark called for "banging heads together" to get a commitment to secure licenses along with tech and knowledge transfers. The committee, acting under the WHO's International Health Regulations, also declined to endorse international travel restrictions that would have slowed the spread of the virus. The experts said those guidelines need to be changed.

Instead of preparing their hospitals for COVID-19 patients, many countries engaged in a "winner-takes-all" scramble for protective equipment and medicines, it said.

Improve the safety standards at virology labs OR stop eating bats

This article says nothing about how to prevent future pandemics

During this period of pandemic we can confidently say socalled expert is bullshit and ultimately our fate is and will be decided by almighty god.

How are they going to know. Is WHO going to Ask the scientist for their lab notes?AIDS, SARS, EBOLA and Covid-19.

I HAD PFIZER FIRST SHOT. NO PFIZER SECOND SHOT. NO SHOT AND NO VOTE 😡

Change the WHO panel? COVID19

During deadly pandemic people don’t have time to argue whether or not it’s real.

Wash your hands

Hey, let 🇹🇼 Taiwan in, Dr. T.

The three stooges

defundTheWHO would be a good start

WHO has lost credibility. We need an impartial panel to make recommendations.

The majority of people don’t really care who’s WHO, and don’t give a FK WHO they are, they are no longer relevant! Obsolete and Finito!

Fired the director and his team, that’s the first step! Appoint qualified candidates based solely on individual merits and NOT on race, colour or gender.

What , let China dictate everything to the world ?

Can we get over this first, please?

Oh, right. All of a sudden, a year after sending all the wrong messages to the public, W.H.O. cares.

FAAAACK LETS DEAL WITH THIS ONE FIRST!! jesusssssss

Stop listening to the group!!!!

When they say the rain for infection is low. That actually means it’s high risk. WHO

WHO the fuck is WHO !!

robr0 RealSteffer you guy’s listening?

No ty !

The WHO is making recommendations? This must be a joke

There’s too many people on the planet. Nature uses virus and bacteria to thin the heard naturally. The densest populations always suffer the most. We are fortunate we have modern medicine to fight nature. But we can’t win. Nature always finds a way.

Easy, get rid of the WHO. President Trump stopped funding them.

The WHO, is in NO position to tell anyone anything it is one of the most CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS in the World!!!

If you trust WHO , then you are the dumbest person in the world!

Don’t be afraid to grab the bull by the horns EARLY. We hesitated and got burned

This COVID pandemic is caused by WHO.

The ones WHO could not stop this pandemic because of its incompetence and corruption?

Zinc and VitD!

A good first step would be to put a stop to the funding and outsourcing of gain of function research on viruses, which was the case with SARS virus in Wuhan lab. This was funded by U.S NIH by a subgrant through a non-profit.

How WHO can stop? Well stop Isreal terrorism attacks to innocent peoples!!! Now it's not spreading the VIRUS? Stop playing your Virus card whenever you feel it! Just stop your dirty game!!! wesupportpalestine wesupportgaza

We need to reThynk, reimagine and reCast a new United Nations. The current one has an infected soul as displayed by its politics and even its bizarre art work displayed. It should be held in a place like Switzerland or Sweden , more true neutral countries

If they were not empowered, what was the point. The whole thing needs to be dismantled and set up again with people who really care about the world citizens. And yes, they must have ultimate clout!

Stop listening to bill gates? Stop messing around with viruses in their secret labs? Stop trying to reduce the population? Leave us alone and let us live?

Lmao

The one in 100 years from now?

There already was in place a plan to deal with a pandemic. Majority of the countries in the world are to it. What happened with covid? They threw the book out and did their own disastrous response. If they would have followed the prewritten plan, it would never have been this bad

Panel suggests WHO should have more power to stop pandemicsA panel of independent experts who reviewed the World Health Organization's response to the coronavirus pandemic says the U.N. health agency should be granted 'guaranteed rights of access' in countries to investigate emerging outbreaks, a contentious idea that would give it more powers and require member states to give up some of theirs. Yeah WHO is a joke and protected China's economy instead of the world's health. Absolutely not ! Insight in needed first ! What a useless Organization all they should be doing is using the funds provided for research and production of vaccine banks for known threats ! I’ll be dammed if any global entity has any say in our Canada ! Mm Unesco !! The only organization more incompetent than the Canadian government. Sure, let’s give them the reigns

Public health tweets struggled to reflect local realities at start of pandemic: studyA new study that examined thousands of tweets from Canadian public health officials during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic suggests many struggled to tailor messaging to local communities. Struggled to reflect reality, because they were 100% wrong. And it cost us more than we could ever understand.. Public health cuts previously meant we were lucky to get vaccinated for the flu, they stopped providing certain services, and had to cut staff, to expect them to run a twitter account after all that is a little much Open the Golf Courses for members of the same household and/or for those with at least 1 dose of vaccine! Be sensible here! celliottability fordnation City traffic is very high, people are going to go out regardless - at least direct it towards safe activities.
