WHO Reveals That It Was Alerted To Coronavirus By Its Office In China And Not By China

As the overall number of global COVID-19 cases has increased to over 10.8 million, World Health Organization backtracked on its assertion that the Chinese government alerted the United Nations agency about the coronavirus outbreak. WHO admitted that the Chinese government never alarmed the United Nations office about the flare-up of the highly contagious coronavirus. For six months, WHO claimed that China informed it about the coronavirus on December 31. However, now it has taken a big U-turn.

The changed official COVID-19 timeline on WHO website now shows it clearly that Chinese authorities did not self-report the Coronavirus outbreak to the global agency, instead, the virus first came to the attention of WHO when their officials came across Chinese media reports about a “viral pneumonia” outbreak. The instructions of the Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO has altered its COVID-19 Timelines it had officially published on its website.

US President Donald Trump has been alleging that WHO had been “soft” on China as a result of which the “Chinese virus” spread to other countries. The change on WHO’s website may give more fodder to those believing this argument. US President has already announced that his country, the main financial contributor to WHO, cut its bridges with the institution, which he accuses of being too close to China and of having poorly managed the pandemic.

Earlier, the WHO reported that Wuhan’s local health commission had announced cases of a ‘mystery’ pneumonia-like respiratory disease. That communication was dated December 31, 2019. But the WHO didn’t specify who had notified it of the virus in the early report. Now however after six months, the pandemic has spread all over the world, WHO decides to alter its COVID-19 Timeline Data. It appears to be covering its tracks as the world continues to remain firm on its demand to investigate the origin of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan, China.

There’s evidence that China covered up the coronavirus’s spread, muzzled whistleblowers, intimidated doctors, misled the WHO, and blocked outside health experts. China knew by late 2019 that human-to-human transmission was occurring, but on Jan. 14, the WHO tweeted: “Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.” As Tedros and the WHO publicly praised China’s response, sources reveals WHO leaders privately complained about China’s opacity.
