TBF, this kind of disaster planning is not uncommon even outside the current context.
Most major metropolitan hospitals have disaster planning/simulation committees that regularly game-out responses to catastrophic incidents, including a nuclear bomb incident.
This also isn’t the first time WHO has done this kind of disaster preparedness (yea, even for nuclear weapon usage).
True. Years ago(I think 2010 ish) I went to NYC comic con. Zombies were all the rage (pun intended) at the time. One of the panels I saw was “preparing for a zombie apocalypse” with a bunch of people from walking dead and a director at the cdc.
The cdc director basically made the point that you should be prepared. A zombie apocalypse is not likely/possible but if that makes you actually get prepared for an emergency go for it. You need access to fresh water, access to edible food, any medications for you or your family, a plan to escape, a place to meet up etc etc. You need those in a zombie apocalypse but you also need them in a hurricane, tornado, war, earthquake etc. All require the same things to survive, if pretending it’s zombies helps you get prepared great, as long as you get prepared.

Yeah, headline makes it sound like the WHO is planning to nuke someone.
Yeah, waiting for response to American bullshit would be a better line
