In a WHO statement yesterday, director general Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus said the virus is not under control “in most of the world” and is in fact “getting worse”. He said the total number of cases of coronavirus worldwide has doubled in the last six weeks. the death total has reached 544,000 and the pandemic continues to accelerate globally. The USA posted a one day record of 59000 new cases this week and has over 3 million reported infections. The total reported cases worldwide has now reached 11.8 million. Brazil has had more than 1,000 daily deaths over the past few days, and has seen more than 1.75 million new infections, with Central and South America struggling to get to grips with the increase in cases and countries in Asia fighting second waves.
Who would have thought after the mess Europe was in that it would become one of the safest places on earth. I hope this doesn't make people here complacent about remaining vigilant. Another worrying aspect is the change in WHO policy regarding atomisation. Now it appears that the virus can exist in the air and doesn't always fall to the ground as previously thought. This makes the one metre or even two metre distancing less effective. Please let the Oxford vaccine be as effective as they are saying because next Winter is going to be long and hard if it isn't.
