4th Wave Alert: WHO chief warns against virulent Covid variants
COVID-19 cases and deaths spike and fall periodically as immunity wanes, which means that vulnerable populations may need periodic boosters, the WHO chief said in an interview.
We came to know WHO chief warns against virulent Covid variants, explains three possible scenarios of how the pandemic could develop this year.
As a result of the COVID outbreak, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, chief of the World Health Organization (WHO), told us that the severity will reduce over time, but advised us to remain cautious and protected in the case of the COVID-19 variant becoming more virulent.
Moreover, he presented three scenarios regarding how the pandemic is likely to develop this year. This announcement comes at a time when the world is experiencing an accelerated COVID outbreak triggered by the Omicron BA.2 subvariant.
Three ways COVID pandemics occur this year:
The WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated at a briefing on Wednesday that the most likely scenario is that, based on what is known so far, the COVID-19 virus continues to evolve, but the severity of the disease it causes reduces over time as immunity increases as a result of vaccination and infection.
COVID-19 deaths and cases may spike periodically as immunity wanes, which might need periodic boosters for vulnerable populations. As a best-case scenario, we may see less severe variants emerge, which will eliminate the need for boosters or new vaccine formulations.”
An increasingly virulent, highly transmissible variety of #COVID-19 emerges under the worst-case scenario. According to him, the population’s ability to protect itself against severe disease and death, either from prior vaccination or infection, will dwindle rapidly in the face of this new threat.
To change this situation, the COVID19 vaccine must be made significantly more effective, and sure to reach those who are most at risk of acquiring severe diseases
Until COVID’s acute phase is over, what can we do to move forward?
To respond to this, WHO chief Leonid Slavkovsky said, “…It requires countries to invest in five core components.”
These are:
- The first step is surveillance, laboratories, and intelligence on public health.
- Second, vaccination along with public health and social measures and engaging communities.
The third target is clinical care for COVID19 and the resilience of health systems.
The fourth component is equal access to tools and supplies, and research and development
As the response shifts from an emergency mode to a long-term respiratory disease management mode, the fifth key is coordination
Despite its energy deficit, the virus still has a lot to offer
Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s Covid 19 technical lead, has entered the third year of the pandemic, stating that the virus still has “a lot of energy left.”
Last week, more than 10 million new cases and 45,000 deaths were reported to WHO, and the number of new infections was significantly higher as test rates declined.
At the end of last week, more than 479 million confirmed cases and more than 6 million deaths were recorded during the pandemic, but WHO could be many times more than the actual number. We admit that.
Updated Strategic Preparation, Preparation and Response Plans represent strategic adjustments that countries must make to address the drivers of SARSCoV-2 infection, reduce the impact of COVID, and end global emergencies.
The World Health Organization announced an updated plan for COVID 19 on Wednesday outlining key strategies that will enable the world to exit the pandemic emergency phase if implemented in 2022.
This plan contains three possible scenarios of how the virus will occur next year.
“Estimated scenario develops, but COVID19 virus develops, but there is a problem Tedros
During a brief, Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
Who acts as a WHO working model, the virus brings periodic hints as an immune bath in the gearbox. A booster shot is the most dangerous person It may be a season of the season of seasonal seasonal seasonal patterns as flu.
Who wwhosier, BestCase Scenario, future subspecies are “much more severe”, and without future strengthening Protection against serious diseases requires a change to the current vaccine that would be boring.
In the worst case, the virus poses a new, highly contagious and deadly threat. In this scenario, vaccines are less effective, immunity to serious illness and death is rapidly weakened, major changes to current vaccines need to be made, and booster shots need to be disseminated to vulnerable groups.
To end the emergency, WHO urged countries to continue or enhance their ability to monitor viruses to detect early warning signs of significant changes in the virus. He also requested improved long-term COVID detection to track and reduce long-term failures after the pandemic has ended.
4,444 countries need to continue to carry out diagnostic tests for SARSCoV2. This helps identify individual cases and guide community-level decisions. According to WHO, countries also need to track outbreaks of viruses within animal populations.
WHO continues to work on its goal of immunizing 70% of the world’s population against COVID, focusing on those who are most vulnerable to serious consequences.
the report acknowledges that current vaccines are less effective than expected to reduce infection with the Omicron variant, but states that the goal remains appropriate.
By the end of March 2022, more than 11 billion COVID-19 vaccines had been administered worldwide. However, about 36% of the world’s population has not received the first dose.
“I think this is a rational, high-level, comprehensive approach,” said David Daudi, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
“You can not rely on viruses and implementations of this approach from the acute stage, no longer from the document itself. However, the document is a good start start” he said.
The report, strategic preparation, preparation and reaction planning said he was the third person, and probably his last thing. The first report published at the beginning of the pandemic is, in February 2020, what can I do? He said that everyone could manage with a good strategy.
These include:
1. All countries need to continue or increase the virus monitoring function to enable early warning signs of a significant change in the virus.
2. World Health, also requested improvement of the detecting process of long-stressed patients. Thus, authorities help to pursue and reduce long-term faults after the pandemic completion.
3. Countries must continue to perform Diagnostic testing of SARSCOV-2. This helps identify individual cases and recognizes community decisions.
4. This also requires countries to force the development of the COVID virus development in animal populations. In the last 24 hours, India recorded the total number of current countries at 4,30,25,775. This is especially when a strong mutation for the power of lighter power is strongly infectious, and due to the variant of Ba. 2, the case of global welfare condition is coming when looking at the increase in recent years.
