WHO is guilty of the mess of human-to-human transmission, masks and ventilators?

If we look at the turn of events since the arrival/admission of nCovid19 epidemic in China on the last day of 2019 and its subsequent transition into a pandemic on 11th March 2020, the situation has been as clear as the lungs of an nCovid19 causality.

As we are living in the world where politics and money are the real force majeure, the guilty must be found and held accountable.

While the list of dangerous messes that were made during this crisis is really long, the three of them that have been the strangest to say the least are:

1. WHO tweeted on 14thJanuary 2020 that “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, China.”

This down-playing and delaying led the world to remain open allowing this highly infectious virus to reach every corner of the globe. This was made worse because the virus is now observed to be largely asymptomatic and often taking as long as two weeks to get expressed while the person is already infectious.

2. During the entire early period when the disease was rapidly spreading across the world, WHO stayed firm with its advisory that only those who are ill or are working in healthcare sector will need to wear a mask.

Thanks to WHO guidelines on masks, nations like India carried public advertisement campaigns that stated that “If you are healthy and you know it Need not wear a mask!” (sic).

This single piece of misinformation promoted, spread and repeatedly insisted upon by WHO could have been the real game-changer in poor and highly populated nations like India who were deprived of using a cheap and highly effective solution that could have stopped community transmission in dense cities.

3. Unlike the other two, the issue of ventilators is a bit complex and really mysterious, but equally if not more deadly.

When nCovid19 came out of China, the doctors across the world had to depend on the information that came out of China as the virus pathology was not observed by anyone outside China.

As China had kept its doors shut tight during the entire Vuhan epidemic phase, there was no real information available to the doctors of the world about the pathology of nCovid19 infection, more importantly how it caused deaths other than what leaked/came out of China.

As the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) caused by viral pneumonia was the story that came out of China, the entire world scampered for buying/building ventilators.

Strangely, within a very short of nCovid19 patients flooding hospitals of Europe and USA, it was observed by local doctors that the death pathology of nCovid19 was not leading to an ARDS caused by viral pneumonia where ventilators helped. In fact, it slowly became really evident that ventilators could actually be causing lung damage and even deaths.

If we put together the collective damage caused by the delayed admission of human-to-human transmission, advisory of not using masks and the confusion on the death pathology of nCovid19 that misled the world to stockpile ventilators, they could be blamed for majority of infections and deaths that we are seeing around the world.

The world run by politicians and forces of commerce may or may not wake up to the naked truth that human life is not really a priority for the larger Matrix that we have built around us by turning human society into a market, but we humans need to.

The New Normal in the post-covid era should be humans coming together instead of floating apart and rebuilding a society by dismantling decayed institutions that have lost values and are now instruments of corruption that the powerful use.

We need to find out WHO is guilty and act to build a new world order where humanity is at the center and not money.
