Let’s generalise an entire population of people as inherit liars and act like it’s an okay thing to say

This is the point I was making - the WHO were way off the mark in believing that this was true in mid January

The link shows that was the initial information they recieved from China. It was not the result of their findings or their advice to other nations on the spread of the virus. Neither did it usurp all the recommendations and findings prior to that date.

If you read the link you will see they did not 'believe' that which is why their recommendations were almost identical then as they are now.

'While the cause of the pneumonia seems to be a novel coronavirus, transmission potential and modes of transmission remain unclear. Therefore, it would be prudent to reduce the general risk of acute respiratory infections while travelling in or from affected areas (currently Wuhan City) by:

avoiding close contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections;frequent hand-washing, especially after direct contact with ill people or their environment;avoiding close contact with live or dead farm or wild animals;travellers with symptoms of acute respiratory infection should practice cough etiquette (maintain distance, cover coughs and sneezes with disposable tissues or clothing, and wash hands).

Health practitioners and public health authorities should provide to travellers information to reduce the general risk of acute respiratory infections, via travel health clinics, travel agencies, conveyance operators and at points of entry.

If a traveller on board of an aircraft/a ship has signs and symptoms indicative of acute respiratory infections, the model of Maritime declaration of health (Annex 8 of IHR) or the health part of the aircraft general declaration (Annex 9 of IHR) can be used to register the health information onboard and submit to POE health authorities when required by a State Party.'
