Learn to live with. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the Covid-19 virus will not disappear but will become “ more predictable”. For the WHO, it should move “to a phase of low incidence with potential peaks, in particular when in certain seasons people find themselves indoors”.
On January 30, 2020, the WHO decreed maximum alert. At the beginning of May, the World Health Organization’s emergency committee on Covid-19 will have to announce whether this maximum alert should still be maintained. Dr. Michael Ryan, in charge of the WHO program for the management of health emergencies, stressed during a press conference that “you do not turn off a switch to automatically switch to an endemic situation. It’s much more likely that we’ll pass […] from a bumpy road to a more predictable pattern.
The Pantheon of Viruses
Regarding the trajectory of the virus, he wanted to re-clarify the situation: “I think there is a misunderstanding. Very often respiratory viruses, for example, like the flu do not go through an endemic phase. They are moving from a pandemic to very low levels of activity, with outbreaks potentially seasonal or outbreaks occurring on an annual or semi-annual basis.” According to him, the Covid-19 virus will remain in our lives: “ We won’t eliminate it and the SARS-CoV-2 virus will join the pantheon of respiratory viruses, like influenza viruses.”
