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)

Believe me, I know the CDC is far from perfect - but I still trust them more than Trump and his administration. 

I'm just mad at the WHO for glossing over China's coverup.
