An incorrect statement with no evidence given.

And since when is test, trace and isolate a bad recommendation? Just because the US and many other countries failed to heed this advice doesn't mean it wasn't given.

There were some big mistakes, yes, maybe especially not recommending face masks. Should the head of the organization have better moderated his comments about the Chinese response? Sure. But for one thing, once China stopped pretending there was no problem their response was very effective, and second, such statements should be considered unimportant especially compared to the real work done by the WHO's scientists and doctors. A polite word to a large donor by the political head of a medical and scientific international organization matters more than the actual work they do?
