In total, nearly a million people have died from Covid-19 since the first cases were known in Wuhan, China, nine months ago. Right now, the trend looks sinister in various parts of the world, most notably South America and India. Many countries are once again tightening their restrictions and closing sectors of society.
According to Michael Ryan, rapid collective action is needed to ensure that the death toll does not rise during the fall and reach two million before there is a vaccine that works.
– If we do not take any action, yes, then we will see that number and, unfortunately, much higher numbers than that. If we don’t do everything, that figure is not only conceivable, but sadly highly likely, says Michael Ryan at the World Health Organization press conference on Friday.
According to Michael Ryan Is it wrong to blame young adults for the increased spread of infection?
– I really hope we don’t start pointing fingers at each other. The last thing a young person needs is for an older person to point with their whole hand.
Rather, it is the indoor encounters between people of all ages that cause the infection, according to Michel Ryan.
Warns in particular by developments in Europe and the “alarming increase” in the number of infected.
– Europe has a lot of work ahead of it to stabilize the situation and control the spread of the infection.
As of Friday, the total number of confirmed cases in the world was 32,308,999. So far, 984,287 people have died with Covid-19.
