W/o full funding of @WHO, #COVID pandemic is bound to go on for much longer. Rather than the business of getting back to work, we will now have to deal with many more global SARS-CoV-2 embers. More embers = more fires = more lockdowns. We just keep failing on preparedness.
BREAKING: Trump announces the U.S. is placing a hold on funding to the WHO over its handing of the coronavirus pandemic, pending a review.
