COVID-19 May Never Go Away – WHO Warns

By Chuks Ekpeneru

The World Health Organization has warned that the novel coronavirus may never go away and populations around the world will have to learn to live with it.

WHO on Wednesday said the virus may never be wiped out entirely.

According to Michael Ryan, the WHO’s Emergencies Director, “We have a new virus entering the human population for the first time and therefore it is very hard to predict when we will prevail over it.

“This virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities and this virus may never go away,” he told a virtual press conference in Geneva.

“HIV has not gone away — but we have come to terms with the virus.”

Ryan added that there was a “long, long way to go” on the path to returning to normal, insisting that countries would have to stay the course.

“There is some magical thinking going on that lockdowns work perfectly and that unlocking lockdowns will go great. Both are fraught with dangers,” the Irish epidemiologist said.
