Experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) have warned that while the Kovid-19 epidemic is deadly, “it is not much” and could lead to a larger epidemic. The world needs to learn to live with Covid-19, they said.
Professor David Heyman, chair of the WHO Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Infectious Diseases, said that although vaccination activities have started in the United States and the United Kingdom, the virus may remain local.
He made the remarks at the last World Health Organization press conference in 2000, The Guardian reported.
“The world is optimistic about tough immunity,” he said. If enough people develop immunity, the infection will be reduced.
But the epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine thinks we have a misconception about harsh immunity.
Like four other coronaviruses, Kovid-19 will have a local outbreak. Fortunately, we have the necessary measures to save lives. He said.
Mark Ryan, director of the WHO emergency program, said: “If the global immunization program is implemented effectively, the threat from the virus will be greatly reduced.”
“It remains to be seen how the vaccine will be administered,” he said. How far can we carry out vaccination activities to eradicate the virus?
“While the efficacy of the vaccine is very good, eradication of infectious diseases cannot be guaranteed,” he said.
“That is why the first goal of the vaccine was to save lives and protect the physically weak,” he said. Then we will work to eradicate the virus.
However, Ryan warned that the next epidemic could be even more devastating. “It just came to our attention then. The virus has reached all corners of the world. However, it is certainly not that big.
It was a warning. Now we are learning to handle them better. How to improve everywhere through science, training and management, ”he said.
“We live in an increasingly complex global society,” he said. This threat will continue. Our lesson from tragedy and loss is the need to work together.
Said the WHO chief scientist. Soumya Swaminathan said at the briefing that vaccination against the virus does not mean that public health guidelines such as social distance will not be followed in the future.
Tedros Adhanom Gherbayis, Director General of the World Health Organization, said: Next year will face new challenges.
He cites the new Corona strain as an example.
