Non-receipt
In a context related to the epidemic and ways to confront it, the Director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said yesterday, Monday, that "we cannot give up and we must not give up" in the battle against Covid-19 with the renewed outbreak of the epidemic in Europe as well as in the United States.
Ghebreyesus acknowledged that fatigue reigns in countries after months of fighting the epidemic, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 1.1 million people.
But he called for the battle to continue the day after the White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows announced that the United States would not be able to control the pandemic, and was focusing more on drugs and vaccines.
"When the officials act quickly, the virus can be eradicated," he said.
Contrary to Meadows' statements, Tedros said, "We must not give up, which is why we say that if we agree with the chief of staff on the importance of protecting the most vulnerable, then giving up control (of the epidemic) is dangerous."
He stressed that "the government must do its part, and citizens should do it as well; otherwise, the virus is dangerous. If we allow it to move freely, it can cause chaos as long as we do not have a vaccine."
