The epidemic is still here: Senior officials at the World Health Organization published tonight (between Friday and Saturday) an annual review of the Corona epidemic, after over a million deaths were recorded since the beginning of the year. The sources said that the results are “tragic”. This, after health experts around the world warned of a new and “stealthy” version of the virus.
Inside such, Maria Van Kerkhove, the head of the technical team of the World Health Organization on the corona virus, said that the results of the review are heartbreaking, especially against the background of the tests, treatments and vaccines that are available to the public around the world. She added that “since we are in the third year of the epidemic, it is even more tragic, since we have the tools that can prevent these deaths.” Also, Van Kerkhove stated that “Many of us have become numb to the numbers. We need to do a review again and really understand where we are now in terms of the epidemic. We should not be in a situation where there are between 14 and 15 thousand dead every week around the world.”
As you remember, at the beginning of the month, health experts around the world warned of a “stealthy version of the corona virus”, which can infect every month. According to the report, the BA5 strain continues to develop new mutations, and after becoming the most dominant strain across the US, it now has the ability to infect convalescents more quickly.

Western Australia’s chief health officer, Andrew Robertson, said that “even if most people maintain some level of protection against the virus, such as vaccinations, they will still be re-infected, several weeks after they have recovered. Despite the recent decline in morbidity, this is not the end of the story with The current breed around the world.”
In addition, the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the average number of people infected with the corona virus in the United States ranges from 95 thousand to 115 thousand. Experts are now afraid of a combination of home tests that are not reported to the authorities, and the closing of government-funded test centers. , in a study published in “Science” magazine, experts confirmed that many do experience re-infection with a higher frequency.
