More selective quotation from you. More lies from you.
I never said WHO "offered to sell test kits to the US". This is your problem. I know the facts, I can actually have a conversation. All you can do is cut-and-paste stuff and act like you understand it (you don't).
Here's the relevant bits from your favorite website, Politifact:
"Christopher Mores, a global health professor at George Washington University, said that when faced with an outbreak, the WHO will usually adopt the best test that a research group brings forward.
The German one became the approach WHO circulated as its preferred model.
Aid groups, such as the Pan American Health Organization, took that model and built their training and supplies around it. If the model was like the recipe in a cookbook, the supplies were the ingredients in a home meal kit from Blue Apron.
Any country could use whatever recipe it preferred, and even if the United States had picked the WHO’s protocol, it wouldn’t need the WHO to sell it the materials to follow it. Germany released its
protocol on Jan. 17, but the U.S. decided to have the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention develop its own. That protocol was published Jan. 28.
In this instance, this caused a lag in testing for the virus in the U.S.
The CDC’s test was different and more complicated than the German test. It worked in the CDC lab, but
when the materials went out to state labs, some of them got inconsistent results. The CDC had to resend packages with new chemical reagents."
And this:
"Typically, Mores said, American labs have all of the basic ingredients and equipment to run the test — all that would be needed is the viral sequences and an exact test protocol. The only catch at the moment is that supplies of those basic ingredients are stretched thin due to high demand."
So let's review, since you're not that bright.
WHO provides the blueprint/recipe. The DNA sequence and genome-mapping stuff. Advanced countries "make their own" from the provided blueprint/recipe.
You tried to claim "Germany" as one of the "tons of countries" that deviated from the WHO blueprint/recipe. Actually, Germany's blueprint WAS the blueprint that WHO used. You tried to claim "China" as one of the "tons of countries" that deviated from the WHO blueprint, but that was due to the fact they were working on things BEFORE anything was done by WHO.
That's what you do. You just cite a bunch of words and pretend like they have meaning.
This nonsense that you spout, about how "tons of countries" just go off and do their own thing, is just wrong. WHO is not some huge medical organization. A lot of work is done in member-countries, and WHO acts as a clearinghouse and information gatherer-sharer. As I have said all along, China shared info with WHO, and medical professionals in WHO member-countries did work, and then WHO shared the results with the world. China and Germany were not DEVIATING from WHO, they were contributing to WHO's knowledge and the world's knowledge. Most countries of the world are, in fact, using the protocol developed by Germany and shared worldwide by WHO. And, certainly, for slower developing and less-rapidly-infectious diseases, it is true that some countries develop their own protocols independent of WHO.
Nor is WHO, or CDC, an actual manufacturer. They contract with companies who do the manufacturing.
The bottom line is that I have been right all along, and you have been a cut-and-paster all along.
It doesn't matter if the US customarily develops its own protocols. Maybe that works sometimes. In this case, it did not, and that contributed to the delay. Those are facts. They may be inconvenient facts to your opinion and/or political views, but I don't care.
Stop lying about facts and stop lying about me.
