The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned the public that it is more than possible that the world will end up with worse pandemics in an effort to urge nations to prioritize preparing for the future. The new coronavirus has since spread around the world to infect more than 80 million people and kill more than 1.76 million, paralyzing air travel, as nations have erected barriers against the virus that has affected industries and livelihoods. WHO had just identified the first few cases of coronavirus in Wuhan, China, around that time last year, marking a year since viral spread took over. “This is an alert,” executive director of the WHO Health Emergency Program, Michael Ryan said at a news conference, according to AFP. “It spread across the world extremely quickly and affected every corner of the planet, but this is not necessarily the big problem.” We need to prepare for something that could be even more serious in the future. “Ryan said that while significant advances by the medical and scientific communities to prevent the spread of the virus, including innovation and vaccination, are admirable and encouraging, the world is still struggling to contain the second and third waves of the coronavirus, and he pointed to the need for more education and preparation internationally, according to the AFP report. “We are in the second and third waves of this virus and we are not yet prepared to deal with and manage them,” said Ryan. the better prepared … we are not fully prepared for this one, let alone the next one. “While many countries have finally understood the idea of how to control the spread of coronavirus in their own communities, and numerous vaccines are being approved and distributed to nations around the world, a new variant of the virus has emerged in Britain that is noticeably more contagious. than the original COVID-19 strain. A new strain of the virus leaves doubts about a life after the coronavirus.

“Limiting travel to contain the spread is prudent until we have better information,” tweeted Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, last week. However, the Geneva-based body warned against a major alarm over the variant, saying that part of the evolution of a pandemic is normal and praised Britain for detecting it. As trucks prevented from entering France backed up along kilometers of highway in southern England, the WHO also said in a statement that transporting cargo for essential supplies such as food, medicine and fuel should be prioritized and facilitated. “Supply chains for essential goods and essential travel must remain possible,” tweeted Kluge. Drug makers, including BioNTech and Moderna, are struggling to test their COVID-19 vaccines against the new variant. The WHO repeated that there was not yet enough information to determine whether the new variant could affect the vaccine’s effectiveness.
