Covid-19 pandemic is "one big wave," WHO says
From CNN's Niamh Kennedy
Covid-19 is spreading in "one big wave" and is not affected by seasonal trends, according to World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson Margaret Harris.
Coronavirus spikes recorded in European countries recently have typically been described as second waves.
But Harris characterised the virus as "one big wave" that "is going to go up and down a bit," while addressing a virtual press briefing in Geneva Tuesday.
She also said Covid-19 did not appear to follow the seasonal trends of viruses such as influenza.
"The season does not seem to be affecting the transmission of this virus currently. What is affecting the transmission of this virus is mass gatherings, is people coming together and people not social distancing, not taking the precautions to ensure they're not in close contact," Harris said.The WHO spokesperson also warned against complacency, while speaking to Irish radio station Newstalk Tuesday.
“People are still thinking about seasons. What we all need to get our heads around is this is a new virus and…this one is behaving differently."
"People unfortunately interpreted the ending of lockdowns as the ending of outbreaks," she said, adding that the easing of lockdown was "the time when you really have to be most vigilant."
"People relaxed and we're seeing these upticks," Harris said.
Coronavirus cases are rising in Germany, France and Spain, while spikes in Hong Kong and Australia have also been recorded.
Harris said the message to stay vigilant was a difficult one to deliver, especially to young people "in the middle of a lovely summer."
"You're only young once. It's easy for oldies like me to say stay at home. You've also only got one life and you've also only got one family," she said.
“What we do see is that in the European region there has been a slight uptick in new cases in the past couple of weeks," WHO regional director for Europe Hans Kluge, said during an interview with BBC Radio 4 Wednesday.
“Whether this is a first wave or a second wave -- what we do know is that it’s a consequence of change in human behavior.”
The official also noted that the WHO had received reports "from civil and health authorities of a higher proportion of new infections among young people."
Kluge said he was "cautiously optimistic" about the virus but warned that the pandemic was "not going to fade away anytime soon."
A sto punto speriamo di liberarcene nel corso del 2021, dico a livello globale...
Inoltre sono veramente curioso di vedere come andrà quest'inverno, perchè la teoria mi suggerisce che la seconda ondata sia inevitabile, la pratica non so...già così pochi casi per l'estate è abbastanza una sorpresa, chissà che non ce ne sia quacuna anche in inverno
purtroppo se riapri le scuole, già solo con questo, è una certezza la ricaduta nel baratro, guarda Israele dove proprio sprovveduti non sono, o meglio, non sembravano esserela scelta di riaprire le scuole è stata follia e difatti l'hanno pagata a carissimo prezzo subito, nel giro di 2/3 settimane.
tutto dipenderà da queste cose, di certo distanziamento e mascherine daranno una mano anche a contenere l'influenza stagionale (pare che in Australia sia quasi trimezzata da questi accorgimenti), ma sarà comunque dura smascherare il virus dietro ai sintomi comuni dell'influenza.
poche balle, purtroppo il vaccino gioca un ruolo fondamentale. se si riesce a vaccinare i più deboli entro il 2021, possiamo tirare un sospiro di sollievo, sempre ammesso che l'immunità sia permanente.
a tal proposito, oramai ci sono persone che hanno contratto il virus 6 mesi fa. possibile che non vengano fatti sierologici e studi? non si sa niente...
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
