GENEVA (Reuters) - The number of new cases of COVID-19 is easing in some parts of Europe, including Italy and Spain, but outbreaks are still growing in Britain and Turkey, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.

 

“The overall world outbreak, 90 percent of cases are coming from Europe and the United States of America. So we are certainly not seeing the peak yet,” WHO spokeswoman Dr. Margaret Harris told a briefing in Geneva.

 

In China, “the biggest threat is imported cases,” she said, referring to the latest data.

 

“We shouldn’t really be expecting to see the vaccine for 12 months or longer,” Harris added.

conflicting information, if I remember correctly, there was another post indicating that a vaccine should/could/would be ready by September

That's about 12 monghs from now. On top of it, getting a vaccine approved and mass producing it takes time.

[Crazy Alex]

At this point, who would listen to WHO for information on the virus? Thus far, they just rubber stamp and forward Chinese Communist propaganda with little to no critical analysis.

let's rap:

 

WHO let the virus out
Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof

Why don't they ask the Chinese for the antidote??? Their outbreak abated instantly when they told the world about it, as they already had it preprepared in their Whuhan lab.????????????????????????????????

I must admit that I am a little dismayed at the length of time that is proposed to take for a 

vaccine to be available.

I am very aware that the virus took medical & pharma by surprise but you would think with all their expertise gained over the years with billions spent on say "Sars' etc that they would be able to isolate Covid 19 a little quicker & come up with something

That's not the problem by far. 

You have to TEST a vaccine to be safe for everybody without side effects. These clinical tests take as long as necessary.!!

12 months ha ha. They have been looking for a cold/flu/HIV vaccine for decades. There is no vaccine for viruses. What they mean is the nanochip Bill Gates wants to inject into you.

So, the vaccines for chicken pox, measles, and polio are fake?

[jimmjam]

WHO doesnt know what they are doing.

WHO Thats WHO

 

[malibukid]

how long have they been working on a vaccine for the common cold?how long for dengue fever?  it's a long shot.

[jimmjam]

And then there is cases of people actually relapsing from this wuhan flu. Not reinfection.

This is going to be around for a long time.

Coronavirus distancing may need to continue until 2022, say experts

Hannah Devlin Science correspondent

The Guardian•14 April 2020

 

Physical distancing measures may need to be in place intermittently until 2022, scientists have warned in an analysis that suggests there could be resurgences of Covid-19 for years to come.

The paper, published in the journal Science, concludes that a one-time lockdown will not be sufficient to bring the pandemic under control and that secondary peaks could be larger than the current one without continued restrictions.

One scenario predicted a resurgence could occur as far in the future as 2025 in the absence of a vaccine or effective treatment.

Marc Lipsitch, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard and co-author of the study, said: “Infections spread when there are two things: infected people and susceptible people. Unless there is some enormously larger amount of herd immunity than we’re aware of … the majority of the population is still susceptible.

“Predicting the end of the pandemic in the summer [of 2020] is not consistent with what we know about the spread of infections.”

In its daily briefings, the UK government has not outlined plans beyond the current restrictions, but the latest paper adds to a building scientific consensus that physical distancing may be required for considerably longer in order to keep case numbers within hospitals’ critical care capacity.

Papers released by the government’s scientific advisory group for emergencies (Sage) in March suggested that the UK would need to alternate between periods of more and less strict physical distancing measures for a year to have a plausible chance of keeping the number of critical care cases within capacity.

The prospect of intermittent distancing raises difficult questions about what guidance will be given to high-risk groups, including over-70s and those with compromised immune systems.

A potential new treatment for coronavirus being trialled at a hospital in Wales offers patients a "glimmer of hope", specialists say.

The University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff hopes to offer the treatment as part of a study within a month.

Blood will be extracted from people who have recovered from Covid-19 and the plasma will be given to patients.

It is hoped antibodies in the plasma of the blood could help others struggling to fight the infection.

At this early stage, the plan is to trial the treatment on patients who are severely affected by coronavirus, according to Dr Stuart Walker, medical director at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.

The team from Oxford University are confident they can roll out the vaccine by the autumn.

The country’s chief scientific advisor Sir Patrick Vallance has said it would be “very lucky” if a vaccine was available within a year.

Normally vaccines take between 10 and 15 years to be made and available.

 

Professor Adrian Hill who is leading the research has said to the BBC: “We are going into human trials next week.

Rash similar to frost bite and 'red hives' could be new coronavirus symptom

French scientists say a number of people who tested positive for Covid-19 had a rash alongside other tell-tale indicators.
