Jan 23 (Reuters) - California said on Friday it will become the first U.S. state to join the World Health Organization's global outbreak response network following the Trump administration's decision to pull Washington out of the WHO.The network, comprised of more than 360 technical institutions, responds to public health events with the deployment of staff and resources to affected countries.
This is actually a smart policy oriented move by Newsom, rather than his usual posing and triangulation. California will now have access to far more advance information about global disease outbreaks than Leatherface and the FatOrangeSlob will have, which could actually be useful to state health officials when the next potential pandemic occurs. As the 4th largest economy in the world, we have a lot at stake.
