Outsiders host Rowan Dean says there are far more qualified people to do the World Health Organisation's job especially given it would not 'distinguish between China, which has gone feral with this virus, and Taiwan which has controlled it'.

Outsiders host Rowan Dean says there are far more qualified people to do the World Health Organisation's job especially given it would not "distinguish between China, which has gone feral with this virus, and Taiwan which has controlled it". "Not only are they incompetent, they are liars, and they are dishonest".

President Trump said the WHO would lose its $400 million US contribution as he launched an investigation into the organisation's ties to China.

President Trump ‘more concerned with defending himself than stopping coronavirus’ | Sky News AustraliaPresident Trump ‘more concerned with defending himself than stopping coronavirus’ | Sky News AustraliaWhile much of the media are purely out to attack Donald Trump, in this instance the US President “was slow” to address the deadly coronavirus pandemic, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nIt comes as President Trump recently hit berated sections of the media who criticised his response to the spread of the deadly pathogen. \n\nMr Kenny said the virus has caused “havoc” in the United States, with the US President seemingly being “more interested in defending himself than fighting the pandemic”. \n\nHe said Mr Trump produced a “pathetic display today to prove to the media that many of them underestimated the virus early on too”. \n\n“He was slow, he should have done more sooner, and US governments federal, state, and local are yet to get control of the situation,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“You'd hope that a crisis of this nature might see Trump lift his tone a bit, rise to the challenge”. \n\n“Instead he's stooped down to the level of the media”. \n\nImage: Getty
