First on Monday: While new cases worldwide have stabilized, they have done so at an uncomfortably high level; this, in fact, reflects a dangerously unstable situation. While new cases in the Americas declined (13%), they raced upwards in Africa (15%) and Europe (28%). This last week had twenty countries undergoing sharp rises. Basically, the point of impact simply shifted. The two WHO specialists cited three interacting factors: uneven vaccination levels, the spread of the Delta variant, and social relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the anger: The WHO teams are fighting on the front lines. We\u2019re really humanitarians, and we won\u2019t give up. But the vaccines aren\u2019t coming as they should, or even as promised. \u201cThe cavalry is not coming.\u201d This destroys morale. So, people then give up, go back to work and accept what fate will bring them. What is needed is to build and invest in systems now\u2014don\u2019t wait for the next surge. A system involves: surveillance systems, testing in place, isolation, clinical care, contact tracing or at least cluster investigations and such; so that we can find out where the enemy is and go after it. Those systems need to be built now, and the wealthier West is not even doing it for their own populations. Their admonitions are an echo of Helga Zepp LaRouche\u2019s 2020 call for a new global health platform for each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryan stressed that there were enough vaccines in the world right now to inoculate all the \u201cat-risk\u201d categories and the medical personnel. Kerkhove stressed that enough is known about the workings of the coronavirus to design a comprehensive war plan against it. It seems that the first 18 months of the battle finds the immaturity of political culture is no match for the reality of the virus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHO Briefers Angry at Lack of Health Infrastructure in the War vs.\u00a0COVID-19 July 6, 2021 (EIRNS)\u2014The World Health Organization\u2019s Mike Ryan and Maria Von Kerkhove answered questions for the public on Monday and allowed some of their frustration and anger to show.
