The worst nightmare ... After six months, why is Corona still sweeping the world like wildfire?

The biggest American expert in infectious diseases described the emerging coronavirus "SARS Cove 2" causing Covid-19 as the worst nightmare for health experts, so why after six months of its emergence is Covid-19 still sweeping the world like wildfire?

Anthony Stephen Fauchi, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the American immunologist and member of the White House Corona Task Force, said the Corona pandemic was "the worst nightmare" for health experts due to its easy transmission between humans, adding in a statement Thursday to the media that the infection capacity shown by the virus is striking. In fact".

A special article published by Xinhua News Agency questioned the continuation of the Corona epidemic in sweeping all over the world six months after its appearance, and criticized the United States.

Break records

The article said that the world is witnessing a record breakthrough in relation to Covid-19 with a rocket increase in the number of daily confirmed cases, which exceeded 200 thousand earlier this week.

The escalating infection is forcing countries to suspend their plans to ease restrictions on public life and gradually reopen economies, as closures have been reimposed in many cities.

Nearly half a year has passed since the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak, but some countries are struggling to smooth the curve and at the same time push to implement premature reopening policies, analysts and experts say.

It only took 10 days for the new HIV infection worldwide to reach 11.9 million as of Thursday, from the horrific 10 million threshold, according to data released by Johns Hopkins University.

Trouble situation

The Americas have become the focal point of the Corona virus, with the United States registering more than 3 million cases, the country worst hit, followed by Brazil with about half of the US toll.

According to Xinhua, in the face of such a difficult situation, there is a need for global cooperation and continuous, substantive and scientific measures to end the pandemic.

Besides mandatory guidelines from local authorities and smart and careful reopening, there is an urgent need for effective global cooperation, which plays an essential role in curbing the spread of the virus.

As the pandemic accelerated, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanum Gebresus said in late June that all countries that lived with Covid-19 would be the new normal for them in the coming months.

"We are experiencing globalization without global governance, which has exposed human vulnerability to major infectious diseases such as Covid-19," said Shi Chen, professor at Yale School of Public Health and president of the China Society for Health Policy and Administration.

Chen called for strengthening global cooperation in pandemic control in four major areas: tracking and detecting the virus, providing timely reports to international organizations, exchanging scientific information and sharing experiences in the prevention and control of Covid-19.

"The measures of social separation and gag wearing practices in China and other East Asian countries have slowed the spread of the virus effectively," he added.

The article in Xinhua criticized the United States, saying, "However, the country worst affected by the pandemic isolates itself from global cooperation. On Tuesday, the United States formally submitted its notification of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization to the United Nations, thereby moving the country out of the world body amid High incidence of corona virus.

On Thursday, the World Health Organization called for solidarity against the virus. "We will not be able to overcome the pandemic if we are divided," said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanum Gebresus, two days after the United States confirmed its withdrawal from the international organization, which Washington accuses of mismanaging the crisis and siding with China, where the virus appeared. In December 2019.

Criticism of the Health Organization

In contrast, the World Health Organization faces charges of slow response and "contradictory" decisions since the outbreak of the Coruna virus and its spread in the world six months ago. In fact, some believe that the response of the organization may be one of the most important reasons for the continuation of the outbreak of the Corona virus until this moment.

Many countries - led by the United States of America - have faced severe criticism of the organization, with accusations of not providing the necessary warnings of the spread of the epidemic in a timely manner.

The organization is also accused of giving wrong directions to countries around the world about wearing protective masks, inaccurate information about the ongoing experiments on potential drugs, as well as taking late steps and sending contradictory messages, as well as accusing Washington of bias towards China.

report

The World Health Organization announced on Thursday that its members will prepare the first results on the international response to the Corona Virus pandemic in November.

An evaluation committee chaired by former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will publish the report on the origin and handling of the epidemic.

The so-called independent commission for global epidemic preparedness and response, "IBPR", will analyze the origin of the emergence of the emerging corona virus, how to prevent future outbreaks of pandemic, as well as how individuals handle the virus.
