Trump played the "taking his ball and going home" card and the only thing it accomplished was showing the world he can throw a first-class temper tantrum.

The world is not getting smaller. The CDC is fully capable of handling the well being of Americans. In fact, Covid wouldn't even be here if we had listened to Taiwan. However, the WHO silenced their voices, so as to not misalign with China policy.

Backing out of the WHO in the middle of a pandemic is straight bonkers. Not the time to play politics and be petty. This new brand of rogue isolationism will lead to China doing as they please and do more harm to our standing on the world stage. Not to mention exacerbate a pandemic and furthering the financial crisis, costing us jobs. By the way, for all the focus on the WHO...
China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

In the end, the WHO like any organization is imperfect but has done some truly great work since its inception. We should seek to improve it, not bail out when the plane is on fire when we haven't even blown the bottles yet.

More and more people, generally same amount of arable land. In fact, a less than a quarter of earth's land areas are truly livable. The planet is effectively getting smaller.
