"However flawed the WHO may be, under international treaty it is the only global entity empowered to build immediate public-health capacity in poor countries in the event of a pandemic. And that’s where the virus is headed next."

Time for an “M7” group of countries to rescue global institutions
Asia Society Policy Institute's Daniel Russel says that the US has to restore lost credibility abroad by stepping up as global leaders in aid and coordination through the G20 and the WHO, before it can hold China accountable for its own shortcomings.
"Only then will the US have the credibility needed to hold China to account."
"Nobody wins a pandemic," said one expert.

"COVID-19 is killing thousands, killing economies, and may even kill off the EU itself. When the pandemic hit Europe, individual EU Member States initially refused to share medical supplies. China promptly stepped in to furnish them."
