WHO insists it hid nothing, sounded virus alarm from start
The World Health Organization insists that it sounded the alarm on the novel coronavirus right from the very start, and hid nothing from Washington about the deadly pandemic.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says there were no secrets at the UN agency after being blasted by the United States for allegedly downplaying the initial COVID-19 outbreak in China.
“We have been warning from day one that this is a devil that everyone should fight,” Tedros tells a virtual briefing in Geneva.
