“The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID-19 is nothing to worry about.”

Today the World Health Organization (WHO) and Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus finally downgraded the threat level of Covid-19, no longer regarding it as a pandemic, but still warning that Covid remains a threat and will remain endemic.

This comes one week before U.S. President Joe Biden will officially end the public health emergency in the country. SEE: The Covid War Is Over: Biden Officially Ends Covid-19 National Emergency

Yesterday the WHO’s IHR Emergency Committee on Covid-19 convened to debate the current status of it, ultimately advising Tedros to rescind the threat levels concerning Covid.

During this conference Tedros said, “pandemic fatigue threatens us all. We are all sick and tired of this pandemic and want to put it behind us.” He added, “But this virus is here to stay, and all countries will need to learn to manage it alongside other infectious diseases.”

But today Tedros and the WHO officially downgraded the threat level for Covid, but did say that he would not hesitate to reinstate the emergency concern level if Covid-19 were to respike.

Tedros had this to say during his speech this morning (excerpts):


But COVID-19 has been so much more than a health crisis.

It has caused severe economic upheaval, erasing trillions from GDP, disrupting travel and trade, shuttering businesses, and plunging millions into poverty.

It has caused severe social upheaval, with borders closed, movement restricted, schools shut and millions of people experiencing loneliness, isolation, anxiety and depression.

COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated political fault lines, within and between nations. It has eroded trust between people, governments and institutions, fuelled by a torrent of mis- and disinformation.

Yesterday, the Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice.

It is therefore with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.

However, that does not mean COVID-19 is over as a global health threat.

Last week, COVID-19 claimed a life every three minutes – and that’s just the deaths we know about.

This virus is here to stay. It is still killing, and it’s still changing. The risk remains of new variants emerging that cause new surges in cases and deaths.

The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID-19 is nothing to worry about.

What this news means is that it is time for countries to transition from emergency mode to managing COVID-19 alongside other infectious diseases. 

I emphasise that this is not a snap decision. It is a decision that has been considered carefully for some time, planned for, and made on the basis of a careful analysis of the data. 

If need be, I will not hesitate to convene another Emergency Committee should COVID-19 once again put our world in peril.

While this Emergency Committee will now cease its work, it has sent a clear message that countries must not cease theirs. 

On the Committee’s advice, I have decided to use a provision in the International Health Regulations that has never been used before, to establish a Review Committee to develop long-term, standing recommendations for countries on how to manage COVID-19 on an ongoing basis.


On top of this, Tedros recommends that nations still continue to monitor and prepare for future events, “to increase COVID-19 vaccination coverage” and “to actively address vaccine acceptance,” along with continued and increased surveillance at all levels and all forms, among others.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

The Covid War is over. No one believes the nonsense anymore save only the diehard Coronazis and mainstream media pundits and paid-off witch doctors.

But this should not even be the headline.

The REAL headline should be the pandemic treaty the WHO and the world nations will be deciding upon if they should adopt it or not – a treaty that would make the WHO the default health authority for all participating nations, granting the Director-General to declare a health emergency and protocols at his own volition.

Pray that that does not get passed.

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Psalm 119:122

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
