And nobody relies on them for any help when it comes to major weather events like hurricanes.

The differnce is diseases & virus's arnt something you can easily observe, halfway across the world, from a PC screen, following readings on some sensor.
It requires eyes & ears to the ground, and spread out across the world.

Also the CDC already has a "Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS)" (part of the cdc) that does that.
If your angry at the WHO for being a week late to report actuate spread information, you should also be mad about the EIS, that likely also failed you.

(basically CDC didnt do any better than the WHO)
