[h=1]'Please Don't Politicize This Virus,' WHO Head Says After Trump Threatens Funding[/h]
Using the COVID-19 pandemic to score political points is dangerous and will only result in "many more body bags," World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday, less than a day after President Trump criticized the WHO and its relationship with China. Tedros also revealed he has received death threats in recent months.
"Please don't politicize this virus," Tedros said in a briefing in Geneva, after he was asked about Trump's remarks. He later urged political leaders to "please quarantine politicizing COVID."
"The focus of all political parties should be to save their people," Tedros said. He added that politicizing the virus only exploits differences at the national level.

Trump will try to scapegoat any organization whether it's the CDC or the W.H.O. He will always find someone else to blame, he can never accept it himself.
