WHO Faces Global Call for Investigation
Over COVID-19 Response During the virtual
World Health Assembly
on Monday, over 100 world health ministers prepared to call for an
independent look into the WHO's pandemic response. The draft of the resolution is calling for
"an impartial independent and
comprehensive" evaluation. It also aims to identify
the virus's origin. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanon
welcomed the proposed resolution. Tedros Adhanon,

via Fox News Amid all the finger-pointing, China's leader,
Xi Jinping, announced a $2 billion package to aid
COVID-19 efforts over the next two years. Jinping agrees with a "global review" of the
COVID-19 international response but thinks it
shouldn't take place until the virus is "under control." He also believes the investigation
should be conducted by the WHO,
not an independent organization. Last month, President Trump
moved to withdraw
U.S. funding from the WHO. He accused the organization
of covering up China's mistakes.
