Prepare for the worst of Corona … a new warning from the World Health Organization to the world

The World Health Organization said the world is battling the worst pandemic the world has seen in a hundred years, noting that “it is a wake-up call”, and the organization has already called for what may be “worse” than the Corona virus.

The World Health Organization warned on Monday that despite the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused more than 1.7 million deaths and tens of millions of injuries in one year, it is urgent to prepare for the “worst.” “.

“This is a wake-up call,” said the director of the World Health Organization’s emergency program, Michael Ryan, at the last press conference this year.

“This pandemic is very acute,” warned Ryan, who has faced the most dangerous diseases in the field in his professional life. “It spread rapidly in various parts of the world and reached every corner of the planet, but it is not necessarily the worst.”

He stressed that the virus “spreads very easily and kills humans”, but stressed that “the death rate is relatively low compared to other new diseases.” He stressed the need to “prepare in the future for what could be worse.”

For his part, Bruce Aylward, a WHO consultant, agreed with the opinion of his colleague, who considered that despite the achievements made in the fight against Covid-19, including the production of effective vaccines in record time, the world it is still far from ready to fight future pandemics.

“We are in the second and third waves of this virus, and we are not ready and cannot handle it yet,” Aylward told the press conference.

He stressed that “although we are more prepared, we are not fully prepared for the current one (pandemic), and we are less prepared for the one that is coming.”

For his part, the director general of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, preferred to see the positive side.

“At the level of perception, I think we are ready,” said Tedros, noting that the time has come to “take things very seriously”, adding that things require “greater ambition.”
