ATLANTA – Health officials around the world set off alarms about the growing number of people becoming ill with a novel respiratory disease, first identified in China, called a new type of coronavirus.
What is WHO?
WHO is the World Health Organization. WHO is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with six semi-autonomous regional offices and 150 field offices worldwide. WHO identified this virus as 2019-nCOV, a new or novel type of coronavirus infecting people globally.
Wearing a mask could help mitigate the virus, we were told. Realizing the virus was airborne meant much more would be needed to stop the spread. The CDC prioritized the flow of mitigating information designed to protect the population from this newly discovered deadly airborne respiratory coronavirus disease.
Realizing the need for a simpler name, this 2019-nCOV coronavirus was officially named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO) 13 months ago on February 11, 2020. While the coronavirus was not initially viewed as a pandemic, it became clear that this coronavirus was spreading rapidly worldwide and therefore it was named and identified as a pandemic.
Where are we now on March 11, 2021?
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC.gov) continues to stress the COVID-19 pandemic is not under control simply because vaccines are available. This coronavirus has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and millions worldwide.
Johns Hopkins CSSE Report: Arizona reports 1,835 more virus cases and 60 deaths on yesterday with total infections confirmed cases at 830,465 and total deaths over 16,464 to date. New Jersey (US) confirmed 826,632 cases with deaths toll over 23,814. Brazil cases are surging with the daily death toll exceeding 2,000. These numbers demonstrates the urgency of taking prevention measures seriously.
Total Confirmed cases on March 11 in the U.S. was 29,286,650 with 530,829 deaths. Worldwide confirmed cases was 118,689,552 with 2,631,949 deaths. Thirteen months ago we reported 25 confirmed deaths worldwide. Now over 2,630,000 deaths worldwide and surging.
As these numbers show the pandemic is not over. Therefore all applicable recommendations made by the CDC and your local healthcare professionals should be taken very seriously.
Additional vaccines are now coming online for everyone throughout the U.S. and in many other countries with the number of locations being added daily increasing. Former U.S. Presidents are showing support for the vaccination program and the CDC coronavirus mitigating measures. Celebrities, educators and local officials have shown their support for the CDC guidelines (CDC.gov).
“More than vaccines are needed to overcome this pandemic” says the CDC. Personal responsibility is essential as we work to overcome this pandemic.
