The World Health Organization (WHO) top COVID-19 delegation on Monday claimed that we were only at the “midpoint” of the pandemic.
Last week’s COVID-19 global tragedy was in its third year in the United States. So David Nabarro, WHO’s COVID-19 envoy, predicts that it won’t end until 2024.
“People around the world have seen and reported to WHO that this is still a very dangerous virus, especially for those who have never been vaccinated and have never been exposed to it. “Mr. Navarro told Sky News. according to For the Daily Mail.
“We can see the end, but how long does it take to get there? What difficulties do we face along the way? These are because the virus continues to challenge and surprise us. It’s a question that none of us can answer, “said Navarro.
“It’s as if we’re past the midpoint of the marathon. Yes, we can see that there is an end and fast runners are passing in front of us. But we are still on a long way. It will be difficult, “he said.
The envoy also warned authorities not to compare COVID-19 to influenza-following the decision by the UK to do exactly that-it is irresponsible as it implies a virus and its currently dominant strain. Said, “Suddenly it became incredibly weak.”
He said Sky news The virus “may mutate to form variants, and I’ve seen some, but I know it’s not too far away. To be honest, this is like the flu, or anything else. I’m not saying that it should be considered as if it were a new virus, it was surprising, very annoying, and should continue to be treated as if it were quite cunning. “
The reduced number of cases and the relatively low hospitalization rates mean that “you need to learn to live with Covid, just like the flu,” said Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Health.
Navarro told Sky News about the comparison: “These amazing predictions are wondering what I and my WHO colleagues know what they don’t know.”
“Governments must set the direction and don’t be ashamed of it. All governments everywhere suggest to people that data has suddenly changed or the virus has suddenly become incredibly weak. It shouldn’t be, “he said.
“So, we ask all leaders around the world to focus on the task of keeping the virus away, to prevent people from getting infected as much as possible, and to make sure they are ready. We will deal with the further surge, “Mr. Navarro said.
