'TWO MORE YEARS' Coronavirus pandemic could last for another TWO YEARS, says World Health Organisation chief
THE CORONAVIRUS pandemic could last for another TWO YEARS, according to a World Health Organisation chief.
Speaking on Friday director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus compared the virus to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic which took “two years to stop”.
The WHO has always been cautious about giving estimated on how quickly the pandemic can be dealt with while there is no proven vaccine.
But on Friday Tedros said that the globalisation allowed the virus to spread quicker than the Spanish flu did in 1918.
He added that the world now has the technology to stop it which wasn’t around 102 years ago.
"And in our situation now with more technology, and of course with more connectiveness, the virus has a better chance of spreading, it can move fast because we are more connected now," he told a briefing in Geneva.
“But at the same time, we have also the technology to stop it and the knowledge to stop it.
“We hope to finish this pandemic (in) less than two years, especially if we can pool our efforts”
Tedros urged countries to engage in “national unity” and “global solidarity”.
"That is really key with utilising the available tools to the maximum and hoping that we can have additional tools like vaccine,” he added.
WHO's emergencies chief Dr Michael Ryan noted the 1918 pandemic hit the globe in three distinct waves; the second wave which began during the fall of 1918 was the most devastating.
