The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that while the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic has been severe, it is “not necessarily the big one,” and that the world must learn to live with COVID-19.

Experts with the United Nations agency said Monday that the ongoing pandemic is a “wake-up call,” and that the world should get “serious” about potentially worse pandemics in the future.
