Countries are expected to cooperate based on International Health Regulations.
USA rejected the amendment to International Health Regulations. (archive.ph) Then USA left WHO. This does not mean that governments in the USA cannot do all these things, of course. Federal, state, county, municipality, school board...
Not only the IHR. I think we should also be strong believers of solidarity. Solidarity because that is our best immunity. It's only when we support each other that we can respond more effectively to virus or to outbreaks like this. And, it's also a moral duty.
I can feel the (((solidarity))) coming.
No they didn't. US said they would, but have not officially, and have negotiations, but they have been delayed over and over again. This new outbreak comes around the time they were supposed to do negotiations again.
