WHO (World Health Organization) has been criticized recently of overreacting to the pandemic flu potential. Monday, January 23rd, officials at WHO responded with a denial saying, “Concern has been expressed that we are overplaying this threat. We are not.” This was from Lee Jong-Wook, Director-General of WHO, a United Nations agency.
“We can only reduce the devastating human and economic impact of a pandemic if all we all take the threat seriously now and prepare thoroughly. This is a global problem,” Lee stated.
