Richard Dawkins recently said that HK is doing well because it followed the recommendations of the WHO.

Which is literally not the case. They wore masks, and protested to get borders closed to non-citizens asap. If the citizens had not taken things into their own hands I fear they wouldn't be in such a good position as they are now.

The WHO needs to be dismantled. china has far too much influential power in the WHO. There should be 0 politics within the WHO, no pandering to the ccp. They should exist to help everyone in the world during an outbreak like this.

I more-or-less don't disagree, except I do. I think the entire UN has lost its way: Look at the membership of the Human Rights Council. What a joke.

It barely worked in the first place, and is all sorts of corrupted now; I believe they should burn it to the ground.

But! Opinions vary! :-) And I am often wrong in matters outside my particular domains of experience.
