'Please quarantine politicizing COVID,' says Dr. Tedros on Trump, We will have many body bags

Replying to a question from ScienceInsider about impeached US President Donald Trump's anti-World Heath Organization comments, the WHO's Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus replied, Please quarantine politicizing COVID.

We will have many body bags in front of us if we dont behave, Dr. Tedros added.

From Jon Cohen's story for ScienceInsider:

Tedros also indirectly addressed Trumps criticisms of Chinas early handling of the pandemic and claims that WHO is too accommodating to the Chinese government. The United States and China should come together and fight this dangerous enemy, he said, urging politicians not to exploit global political differences. Its like playing with fire, he said. When there are cracks at national level and global level thats when the virus succeeds. For Gods sake, we have lost more than 60,000 citizens of the world.

WHO will be reviewing its strengths and weaknesses in its pandemic response, Tedros added. He stressed there were many unknowns when the outbreak surfacedand that many unknowns remain. We shouldnt waste time pointing fingers, he said. Unity is the only option to defeat this virus. If you dont believe in unity and dont do unity, please prepare for the worst to come.

Tedross remarks come 1 day after Trump, speaking at a White House Coronavirus Taskforce press conference, threatened to cut funding to WHO. Were going to put a very powerful hold on it, Trump said. When later questioned by a journalist, Trump backpedaled and insisted that he didnt say this. I said were going to look at it, were going to investigate it, he said.
