#1 so refreshing to see the WHO quoted... with a budget of $4.27 billion the WHO have now watched as ebola spread from a few Guinean villagers in February to infect six african countries and thousands of people.

thank you, WHO for not bothering to stomp on ebola back in February

and for never issuing a travel restriction advice as the virus grew and spread to the cities and towns and then started catching planes

#2 A scary Ebola epidemic is a perfect talking point for demanding an increase in the WHO budget. Nipping such an epidemic in the bud is so obviously unhelpful to that point that we cannot expect WHO to attempt to do such nipping. You should not be surprised that it did nothing.
Did you really expect that WHO would take time off from its busy schedule of issuing bonus awards to its officers and scheduling celebratory parties, to prevent this crisis and the bonanza for the WHO it portends?
