-Explain why the WHO delayed the declaration of the novel coronavirus outbreak a PHEIC until January 30, 2020.

-Provide evaluation of the WHO activities relevant to COVID-19.

-Then, pick any country – a member- (I like to compare USA and INDIA) and compare how its COVID-10 relevant activities are aligned with the WHO recommendation. Is the chosen country prosperous in Pandemic response locally? Why yes/not?

-What is this country’s role in the Global response to the Pandemic? Is it enough to assure the Globe shortens the time to Pandemic resolution? Why yes/not?
