"It is premature for any country to either surrender or to declare victory. This virus is dangerous, and it continues to evolve before our very eyes"
Tedros said:
We’re concerned that a narrative has taken hold in some countries that because of vaccines and because of Omicron’s high transmissibility and lower severity, preventing transmission is no longer possible, and no longer necessary.
Nothing could be further from the truth … more Covid-19 transmission means more deaths.
The UN health agency chief pointed out that since Omicron was first spotted in southern Africa 10 weeks ago, nearly 90 million cases have been reported to the WHO – more than in all of 2020.
And while the new Covid variant is known to be milder, he stressed that “we are now starting to see a very worrying increase in deaths in most regions of the world”.
I think our test if it works and gets a bloody move on has plenty of opportunites left in its locker and of course everything else on offer.. if world health organisation who are worried then testing is here to stay IMO.
