The WHO says that corona viruses are "very confusing" and it is difficult to produce vaccines for them, saying that some treatments seem to limit the ferocity or the period of Covid-19 respiratory disease. In China, Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic, intends to examine all of its residents, while Russia has begun to slowly raise the isolation despite a large number of infections daily, Britain recorded more than 36 thousand deaths until the beginning of May believed to be caused by the emerging corona virus.
In detail, WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris announced that corona viruses are "very confusing" and it is difficult to produce vaccines against them. She added that the Covid-19 outbreak in Africa was escalating and "we see an upward curve."
The director of the WHO's health emergency program, Dr. Mike Ryan, said the concept of herd immunity was "dangerous." "This idea that countries that have had lenient measures and have not done anything will magically suddenly reach some herd immunity, and what if we lose some elderly people along the way?" Ryan told a press conference Monday. This is a really dangerous and dangerous perception. ”
While the epidemiologist of infectious diseases at the World Health Organization, Dr. Maria Van Kerkof, indicated that there are about 90 studies showing the results of antibody surveys, adding that the organization was not able to do a "critical evaluation" of all studies, as many of them have not been published yet. .
The World Health Organization said that some treatments appear to limit the severity or duration of Covid-19 respiratory disease, and it focuses on learning more about four or five of the most promising treatments.
"We have some treatments that appear in the very early stages to reduce the risk or length of disease, but we have nothing that can eliminate or stop the virus," Margaret Harris said at a virtual conference.
"Data may appear positive, but we need to see more data in order to be 100% sure and we say this treatment is better than that," she added.
