Only Donald Trump Dares To Say WHO's China's Doll
JAKARTA - The presence of the COVID-19 pandemic has made the whole world dizzy. The United States, especially. The virus from Wuhan has torn down the economy of the United States (US). Donald Trump is furious, it's no joke. He considers the corona virus to be exaggerated too much.
The impact is believed to be more of an ordinary flu. This condition made Trump often turn on China. He rejects the term COVID-19 and replaces it as a Chinese Virus. World Health Organization, WHO also got the sap. They are considered Chinese dolls.
No one thought that the end of 2019 would bring nestapa. At that time, a new type of acute respiratory syndrome virus was detected in Wuhan China. The transmission did not take long. The virus quickly spreads from one person to another. Hundreds of people were infected.
Recently, people have known the virus under the name COVID-19 when it entered 2020. The corona virus is not only endemic in Wuhan. The world also felt the bitterness of being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Everything boils down because COVID-19 was once underestimated.
Many countries do not take the corona virus seriously. They did not close access to and from China. The world is threatened. The victims were piled up. Not to mention that the world economy was torn apart. The World Health Organization, WHO is still stuttering to tackle the corona virus. WHO's loss is not ready. It has changed ways too.
This condition makes many countries in the world feel the impact. Uncle Sam's country, especially. The superpower with a high population level is an easy target for COVID-19 transmission. The US economy is disrupted. Donald Trump is furious.
The US president considers the coronavirus to be unnecessary. He considers the virus to be just an ordinary flu. However, because US scientists and health experts are panicking, the estuary of the situation is out of control. Trump also tried to demand China to take responsibility.
He felt China was the culprit for the spread of the virus. Who does, they are responsible. Trump also rejected the name COVID-19. He named the virus himself the Chinese Virus in March 2020.
The naming made Trump racist. However, Trump dodged. He considered the name Chinese Virus not racist because the virus came from Wuhan.
However, the term has angered officials, critics, and experts in China. They said labeling such a virus would only escalate tensions between the two countries.
"The problem could lead to xenophobia (hat) which should have been prevented by US leaders. Asian-Americans have reported incidents of racial insults and physical violence because of the wrong perception that China is the cause of the virus," said Katie Rogers and her friends in writing on The New York Times website entitled Trump Defends Using Chinese Virus Label, Ignoring Growing Criticism (2020).
Trump's frustration with the coronavirus continues. He did not want to force any kind of social restriction agenda such as lockdown (regional quarantine) in the US. Instead of moving to improve health and prevention services, Trump prefers to blame WHO.
Trump considers WHO has failed in anticipating the coronavirus. WHO-style preventive methods are not quality. Change too. This condition makes the US confused. What's more, the world. Even though funding from the US to WHO is the biggest reached 400 million US dollars per year.
The advice given by WHO actually brings a lot of harm rather than benefits. Or in Trump the WHO advice is too bad and bad. In fact, the advice tends to be wrong and always sided with China.
Trump wants WHO to be active in asking China to be responsible. Because, China seemed to cover up about the outbreak from the start. A condition that shocked the world. The image of WHO as a World Health Organization was also evacuated by Trump in April 2020.

Trump feels WHO is like China's Health Organization. WHO is like a Chinese doll that is used only to support China's agenda without wanting to demand China's responsibility. Trump took a stand. He then chose to suspend funding from the US for WHO.
The attitude of the US has also provoked reactions from various countries in the world. Many countries feel that the US presence can actually make the COVID-19 pandemic end quickly. They asked Trump to rethink his breakthroughs. However, Trump did not want to follow the wishes of many countries until he stepped down in early 2021.
"With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are very worried about whether America's generosity has been used as well as possible. In fact, it is that WHO fails to obtain, examine, and share information adequately on time and transparently."
"If we can't trust them, if this is what we will receive from WHO, our country will be forced to look for other ways to cooperate with other countries to achieve public health goals. WHO failed in its basic task and must be held accountable," Donald Trump said as quoted by David Smith's page in his article on The Guardian website entitled Trump Halt's World Health Organization Funding over Coronavirus Failure (2020).
