One year ago today: WHO characterizes COVID-19 as a pandemic 11 March 2020 • Speaking at the COVID-19 media briefing, the WHO Director-General said: • "WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction. • We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. • Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death. • Describing the situation as a pandemic does not change WHO’s assessment of the threat posed by this virus. It doesn’t change what WHO is doing, and it doesn’t change what countries should do. • We have never before seen a pandemic sparked by a coronavirus. This is the first pandemic caused by a coronavirus. • And we have never before seen a pandemic that can be controlled, at the same time." https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/events-as-they-happen Twitter:https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1237777021742338049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1237777021742338049%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon %5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.who.int%2Femergencies%2Fdiseases%2Fnovel-coronavirus-2019%2Fevents-as-they-happen Brazil plunges into crisis as a second wave and deadly new variant overwhelm hospitals • A second wave of Covid-19 is ripping through Brazil, pushing hospitals and ICUs toward collapse and claiming record numbers of daily deaths. • While a new variant of the coronavirus spreads throughout the country, many Brazilians continue to defy mask mandates mobility restrictions following the example of President Jair Bolsonaro, who recently said people need to "stop being sissies" and "whining" about the virus. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/10/americas/brazil-variant-covid-icu-crisis-intl/index.html Drug Regulator Backs Astra Shot After Suspensions in Europe • The European Union’s drugs regulator said the benefits of AstraZeneca Plc’s Covid-19 vaccine continue to outweigh the risks, and the shot can still be administered while investigations of possible blood clots are ongoing. • The European Medicines Agency reiterated that there is currently no indication that the Astra vaccine caused these conditions, which aren’t listed as side effects.
