I don't think we should just give up to the fact that it's normal to have errors coming from these big Orgs operating at such a sensitive front. Look what some small errors and del…

> What WHO does is intergovernmental public health coordination I'm afraid that's a normative and oversimplistic statement. Have you seen, at least, the WHO Twitter/FB feeds? It's …

I totally agree that startups aren't the solution to every single problem we have on the planet but I'm not sure you've tackled the original proposition, rather you expressed a gen…

I don't think it's an ignorant opinion. How do you imagine it being solved?

It's a bit disappointing that all the discussion's momentum/energy here got wasted on the letter of the proposition and not the spirit. Clearly and pragmatically, anyone certified …

I think you already pushed the scenario too far. The best measure to the example you gave is clearly the one we arrived at now. Complete lockdown. Worldwide. There's no discussion …

Data/reporting scope could be made anonymous and more local; on a city/town level (e.g. "Dec 22, 2019 | Severe flu case reported in X district of Wuhan (30°34'21.2"N 114°12'30.0"E)…

In the broad definition of what makes something "political", that is definitely the case. No disagreement. However, to not drift this discussion into definitions, I'll agree on you…

Close coordination with the Chinese government :) No, there would (almost) be no policy. That's the point. It's one planet - one health. Which country it is shouldn't matter much. …

True. How do you think this could be overcome? Crowdfunding? Donations?

Not entirely sure yet. However, that's exactly why verified, anonymous data reporting would be a good starting point. But I assume your concerns are more about [the difficulty of] …

There has been a lot of red flags on the WHO recently, from misreporting data [1, 2] to confusing guidance on masks [3] to the controversial case of Taiwan [4, 5]. Does anyone here…

I very much agree here. Have recently ran part of the data through some NLP (incl. AWS Comprehend) and nothing signficant came out. Ended up doing simple free-text or keyword searc…
