It all comes down to the one thing: money.  The [World Bank](https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2017/06/28/world-bank-launches-first-ever-pandemic-bonds-to-support-500-million-pandemic-emergency-financing-facility) launched a $500m Pandemic Bond, and if I understand this correctly, investors' payday is July 15 2020. You read this right. So there are literally 500 million reasons the WHO has not classified it as pandemic. That makes [Corona Token](https://coronatoken.org/) look like an angel compared to this freaking mess. **It'S JuSt ThE fLu** *Source: [World Bank](https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2017/06/28/world-bank-launches-first-ever-pandemic-bonds-to-support-500-million-pandemic-emergency-financing-facility), [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/ff6vo7/til_there_is_a_500m_fund_for_global_pandemics/)*
