The World Health Organization warned that the new corona virus “will never disappear” and could become a disease that humanity has to live with, as the number of deaths from the epidemic approaches three hundred thousand in the world.
“A new virus is spreading among people for the first time, making it very difficult to wait when it can be defeated,” said Michael Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO emergency program, at an online news conference.
“This virus can become another endemic virus in our societies and never disappear,” he said, for example, referring to the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
Ryan called for the matter to be realistically addressed, noting that no one can predict when Covid-19 disease caused by the emerging coronavirus will go away, adding that great efforts are required to control the virus even after reaching a vaccine.
The virus is transmitted through speech.
Meanwhile, an American study showed that the virus can be transmitted in words, not just by coughing and sneezing.
According to the study, carried out by researchers from the National Institute of Gastroenterology, Diabetes and Kidney in the United States, that speech generates small particles that can remain suspended in the air indoors for more than ten minutes, highlighting the probable role of these particles. in the spread of the emerging corona virus.
The researchers conducted an experiment in which one person spoke out loud, repeating the phrase “preserve your health” for 25 seconds inside a closed box.
The laser beams dropped onto the box showed tiny particles that could be seen and counted, and remained suspended in midair for 12 minutes, according to the study, published in the journal “Professor at the National Academy of Sciences in the United States of America.”

Disagreement in America
The American people are following a public dispute between President Donald Trump and the leading expert on the Crisis Management Cell.

“The only thing that will be acceptable is if the issue is related to teachers older than a certain age, because this group can wait an additional four or five weeks. This is a disease that targets people of a certain age and in a specific health condition.” .
The President of the United States also emphasized in press statements the need for state governors to reopen the doors of schools and said that the impact of the virus on young people is very low.
