Summary/Abstract: Further to the points of view undersigned authors expressed nearly two months ago (see: World on Autopilot: The UN Security Council should urgently address Covid19, link: https://www.ifimes.org/en/9791), it is to a deep regret that the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) still misses to adopt the much-needed Council Resolution to address the Covid-19 (C-19) pandemic event. This is largely due to the tensions between two of its five permanent members (P5) - the US and China, with Washington wanting to apportion blame or responsibility to China relating to the pandemic, and Beijing rejecting any discussion or reference to it. Additionally, the two keep opposite views on the role and conduct of the UN Specialised Agency for health matters, Geneva-based World Health organisation (WHO).
