Trump declared a national health emergency one day after WHO declared a public health emergency.

Just wanted to correct you on that misleading statement. But anyway, we already have a thread on the US response to the pandemic that this discussion would be better suited for. This thread is specifically about WHO's response, not Trumps.
As a fun aside though, its interesting to see how media coverage has shifted. From that NPR article:
So in January, NPR characterized the administration as having an "intense focus on this outbreak". But now you guys are telling me Trump wasn't paying attention to it. Weird.
