Okay, I'm happy to amend to "The WHO is useless for information on novel disease spread". That's what I intended anyway but clearly did not constrain the sentence correctly.

Yeah, I'm sure as a multilateral platform for cooperation on things that everyone wants done they're good.

But as an information source for novel epidemics, clearly we should use our spy sats.

How do we use our spy satellites for information about an epidemic?

I'm really struggling to understand what you're suggesting here. I'm aware there is a whole cottage industry of conspiracy theorists that point to satellite photos of busy parking lots outside hospitals in Hubei Province as evidence of earlier spread of Covid than has been officially acknowledged. But there's no way to distinguish a busy parking lot caused by a severe influenza outbreak (which existed prior to Covid in Hubei) and a novel pathogen.

Using "spy sats" in a pars pro toto sense. The intelligence apparatus.
