The World Health Organization has announced that the risk of Covid-19 may decrease this year to an extent that it becomes similar to the risk of seasonal influenza.
“I think we’re starting to get to a point where we look at COVID-19 as we look at seasonal flu, as a health hazard and a virus that will continue to claim lives but also as a virus that doesn’t disrupt our society,” said WHO Emergencies Director Michael Ryan, during a press conference today, Friday. I think it will happen this year.”
He also emphasized that the world is in a better place now than ever before during the pandemic. “I am confident that this year we will be able to say that COVID-19 has ended as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” he said.
The World Health Organization declared a public health emergency on January 30, 2020, when fewer than 100 cases of the virus and zero deaths were recorded outside China.
raccoon?!
This announcement coincided today, while theories of the origin of this virus that baffled the world, especially in 2019 and 2020, surfaced once more during the past weeks, before international companies specialized in producing anti-vaccines began.
While the latest studies and analysis of genetic sequences collected from the Wuhan market, the “main origin” of the epidemic, indicated that raccoon dogs that were sold illegally in this market were carrying the virus and transmitting it to humans.
This study contradicts other analyzes that had previously indicated that Corona had leaked from the famous Wuhan laboratory.
However, no official result has yet been issued by the World Health Organization, a team of whose specialists previously traveled to “Wuhan” in order to conduct investigations and obtain the necessary data from the Chinese authorities, despite the passage of more than 3 years since the “Corona nightmare” that claimed millions around the world, especially in its infancy.
