This wave is not the biggest! WHO experts warn: a deadlier virus could sweep the world | International | Newtalk

The global epidemic continues to heat up. With the discovery of the variant of the COVID-19 virus in the UK, countries dare not worry and hope that the vaccine can alleviate the epidemic. However, Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization (WHO) emergency health plan, warned that this wave of new coronary pneumonia is not the largest, and that “a more lethal virus is likely to strike the world”. He also said that European and American countries have started attacking. Vaccine, but the new coronary pneumonia may still become an endemic infectious disease.

According to the “Daily Mail” report, Ruian said at a press conference a few days ago that the new coronary pneumonia is very serious, but it may not be the “biggest plague”. Although this infectious disease is highly contagious, its mortality rate remains low compared to other diseases. “This is a wake-up call for us. We are learning how to do better … These threats will continue and we must take action.”

Ryan also warned that although European and American countries have begun vaccinating, the new corona virus may still become part of our lives. “This virus may become endemic and still pose a threat, but under the protection of vaccines. The threat has been greatly reduced.”

David Heymann, chair of the WHO Infectious Diseases Strategy and Technical Advisory Group, said that vaccines can build herd immunity and reduce the possibility of virus transmission, but that the new coronavirus can still become a local infectious disease and continue mutating.

American infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said he was not surprised by the virus mutation, because the virus itself survives by mutation, and most mutations are irrelevant, although this time the British variant of the virus is highly infectious. But people who have been infected in the past have not been infected by the mutant virus, which shows that immunity from the new coronavirus can prevent the invasion of the mutant virus.

Foqi also said the United States can get enough herd immunity after vaccination and is expected to return to normal before the fall of 2021, but it still needs to prepare before that.
