The pace of corona infection has reduced globally, keeping this in mind, recently the World Health Organization (WHO) has excluded it from the list of 'Global Health Emergency'. But is Corona over? This question is arising because even though the cases of infection are being reported less, the cases of death of infected people in many countries are still frightening.
Both the World Health Organization and the US government recently ended the coronavirus public health emergency, although COVID-19 is still causing more than 100 deaths per day in the US, according to the CDC.
Health experts say that people have now reduced adherence to preventive measures against COVID-19. But in reality, the danger is not over yet. The risk of infection is still there, not taking it lightly can lead to serious problems in the future.
Experts warn – infection is not over
Any statement that the pandemic is over is a political statement for the time being, says Yanir Bamayam, president of the New England Complex Systems Institute. More than 1,000 deaths are being reported every week in the US alone. Those who want to save themselves from infection, long covid and its many side effects, keep taking precautions. Covid is not over, its speed has just reduced.
The condition of infection more than once can be problematic for the body in many ways, continuous decline in the health of such people is visible. The only challenge in this age of propaganda is to recognize it for what it is.
Experts worried about post covid problems
Health experts say that due to the low use of protective measures, it can also be difficult to identify the current case of Covid-19 and the risk of long Covid. An estimated 26 million people in the US are currently living with post-COVID problems that require specialized care.
It's been instilled in us that death is the only serious outcome, says Dr. David Putrino, who cares for Long's Covid patients at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. We still haven't made enough room to consider that the long-term impact of Covid could be severe.
Life expectancy also declined
More than 1.1 million Americans have died of Covid in the last three years. Experts say the official number is lower because of errors in death certificate reporting, but the actual figure could be much higher. The indirect deaths due to Covid due to heart disease, cancer, and many other physical problems are not being taken care of.
COVID can be stopped, its spread can be minimized, says Carla Sevin, director of the Pulmonary Patient Care Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. But we are doing all these things imperfectly. By the end of 2021, Americans are now dying an average of 3 years earlier than before the pandemic, with life expectancy falling from 79 years to 76 years, the biggest decline in a century.
How is the situation in India
The current situation of Corona in India is quite controlled. Infection has been confirmed in less than 1000 people in the last 24 hours, 13 people have died due to infection. The death toll remains an average of 20-25 daily. Health experts say that all people need to pay attention to the infection seriously, the corona is still not over. We need to pay constant attention to Covid Appropriate Behavior.
