“This is a wake-up call. We are learning, now, how to do things better: science, logistics, training and governance, how to communicate better. But the planet is fragile,” Ryan added.
“We live in an increasingly complex global society. These threats will continue. If there is one thing we need to take from this pandemic, with all of the tragedy and loss, is we need to get our act together. We need to honour those we’ve lost by getting better at what we do every day,” he continued.
Ryan also stated that despite the vaccine, the virus is set to become endemic, and will never go away.
“The likely scenario is the virus will become another endemic virus that will remain somewhat of a threat,” Ryan said.
Professor David Heymann, the chair of the WHO’s strategic and technical advisory group for infectious hazards, added that “it appears the destiny of SARS-CoV-2 [Covid-19] is to become endemic, as have four other human coronaviruses, and that it will continue to mutate as it reproduces in human cells, especially in areas of more intense admission.”
Elsewhere during the briefing, WHO chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan said that the roll out of vaccines does not mean social distancing or mask wearing can go away.
The comments come after Swaminathan warned that the restrictive lockdown measures won’t let up until “the end of 2021” when “population immunity” is achieved.
“It’s going to take till the end of 2021 till we start seeing some level of population immunity coming up in some countries,” Swaminathan said last week.
As we reported two weeks ago, The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), based in Sweden, has found that the majority of nations across the globe have implemented COVID related restrictions that have severely eroded the liberties of their citizens.
The study revealed that 61 per cent of countries have used restrictions “that were concerning from a democracy and human rights perspective.”
‘These [restrictions] violated democratic standards because they were either disproportionate, illegal, indefinite or unnecessary in relation to the health threat,” the group declared in its report.
If a greater pandemic is coming, as the WHO promises, then it is clear to see that such erosions of freedom will be amped up even further, if the same pattern is followed.
In my opinion, our "Health Threat Pandemic" is this on-going evil induced bid to have a few insane power-player's in the world try to control the rest of the populace on this Earth!
ReplyDeleteNothing is ever forthcoming about what actually can be done to be at one's most healthiest with our immune systems, exercise, outdoor sunlight, vitamins,
managing acutely symptoms at the on-set, common-sense approaches to this whole concept of how viruses work, info about prolonged mask usage promotes illnesses itself, etc...,in my opinion.
Unless some Entity is dumping more man-made germ warfare for super viruses on us, the fear-mongering about mutation advancement of this Covid-19 needs explained?
In fact, a prediction of, "Worse to Come", like their simulation meeting scenario prior to sent Covid-19 spreading around the world, might be treated as a threat from mad-scientists?? This "Sky is Falling Around The Corner Concept" needs a demanded in depth explanation as well, in my opinion! "Cause & Effect" is resonated in much man does playing God, IMO. Examples like, processed foods equal allergies among many, or propaganda produces hysteria, allowing folks across borders without health checks for diseases, or updated shots, lost logic and reasoning through subliminal brainwashing makes folks zombies with intellect processing going out the window, etc. People are sick alright, sick of Covid-19 pushed down our throats with non-consistencies outlined as our freedom/economic concerns get lost by those outlined commands, in my opinion!
After flying back from Florida recently, judging from seeing all the folks flying, eating out, no distancing, etc, in my opinion, WHO is falling on deaf ears! This is same old trick at Airports used since 9/11 IMO, how far can they make us go to do what they want, what will we tolerate? People will resist Tyranny Rule through restrictions for this Covid Bug, is my prediction for 2021. (:
Something is not right with how this WHO bunch times their pushed fear for more to come for Gloom & Doom, especially when people are getting wise to how trust eroded with their roll out with Covid-19, in my opinion!
