COVID-19: Australia’s pledge to $12 billion virus fight, WHO issues vaccine warning
5 May 2020 - Scott Morrison has promised more than $352 million as part of a global coronavirus vaccine fundraiser, but the World Health Organisation issued a stark warning.
The funds, pledged at a videoconference summit hosted by the EU, fell marginally short of the 7.5b euros ($A12.8b) being sought, but more money could arrive in coming days.
Notably absent from the event was the US, where more than 67,000 people have died, and Russia.
