Sadly too common. Especially the kids... teens, the huge outbreaks after Mardi Gras and Florida spring break are truly shameful.
Mardi Gras was a tough call. But there was no excuse for DeSantis keeping the beaches open for Spring Break Viral Camp.
Re: Mardi Gras, what did we know about this, in the US, in the days before February25th? Enough to cancel it? Nope. It was still considered a foreign problem (although I speculate that it was already here and we were testing sick folks for influenza A&B and reassuring them that it was something else).
So, no shame in having the Mardi Gras. Just like so many people that were still going to Disneyland/World and the parks and visiting relatives and friends. It just wasn't widespread, plus, any mention of it was colorized on FOXFakeNews to make it seem like it was a plot to make Trump look worse. And a President who downplayed it as going to miraculously disappear.
So where does shame belong? Who leads the people? Or does he not, and then WTF is he doing up there instead of having a real well-informed, clear-headed leader that the nation needs in times of crisis?
But I digress.. (Politics is a hobby, but healthcare is my life's work. This means something to me, and Trump has fucked us over bad. It's not murder, as some have said, but tantamount to manslaughter that he's done this to the nation.)
... WHO membership is only given to countries that are members of the United Nations - which does not recognise Taiwan - or whose applications are approved by the World Health Assembly.
What this means is that Taiwan has been excluded from emergency meetings and important global expert briefings on the coronavirus pandemic. Taiwanese official Stanley Kao has also said the island has been denied permission to attend the World Health Assembly's annual meetings in recent years.

It also means the WHO lists Taiwan's coronavirus statistics together with China's, a move Mr Kao says denies the world of accurate and timely information on the pandemic.
The exclusion, coupled with the WHO's repeated praise of China's response to the outbreak - which public health experts have criticised - has led some to accuse the organisation of political bias towards China, a major contributor to the organisation.

No wonder the US still doesn't have processes to build, distribute, and pay for ventilators.
