Yawn. I'm more that a little confident that if - as I hope - the U.N. disbands/is disbanded (or if the U.S. and various other countries simply pull out of it), we'll still receive prompt notice when epidemics break out. If for no other reason than because arresting health risks requires global coordination.

What else have you got?

That warning came much quicker than it would have without the WHO[.]

On what grounds are you proposing that the WHO has some monopoly on efficiency and/or organization? More specifically, one that another humanitarian organization couldn't replicate without the fetters that the United Nations brings with it?
