History shows us that it will not be the last pandemic, said the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on December 26, 2020 – World Health Organization / AFP
The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the new coronavirus will not be the last pandemic and pointed out that progress in health will be insufficient if there are no changes in terms of global warming and animal welfare.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned of the “danger of short-term behavior” in a video message recorded on the occasion of the celebration on Sunday of the first International Day of Preparedness for Epidemics.
“History shows us that it will not be the last pandemic,” he said, emphasizing that good lessons need to be learned from the new coronavirus pandemic.
“For a long time, the world acted in the middle of a cycle of panic and denial,” he said.
“We spend money when the crisis erupts, but when it ends, we forget and do nothing to prevent the next one. It is the danger of behavior in the short term, “lamented the director general of this UN agency.
The first Annual Report on Global Preparedness for Health Emergencies, published in September 2019, had already warned of humanity’s poor preparedness for major pandemics, months before the COVID-19 crisis began.
“The pandemic has revealed the close links between the health of people, animals and the planet,” he said.
“All efforts to improve health systems will be insufficient if they are not accompanied by a critique of the relationship between humans and animals, as well as the existential threat posed by climate change, which is making Earth a more difficult place to live. live, ”he added.
The new coronavirus has caused at least 1.75 million deaths and infected 80 million people around the world since the first cases were detected in China in December 2019, according to a count carried out by AFP based on official data. .
