Is the world winning the pandemic fight?

"We're still in the midst of an accelerating, intense and very serious pandemic," Dr Margaret Harris, from the WHO, told me."It's there in every community in the world."

It is driving the high volume of cases in Latin America - the current epicentre of the pandemic - and the surge in India. It explains why Hong Kong is keeping people inor the South Korean authorities are monitoring people's bank accounts and phones. It illustrates why Europe and Australia are struggling to balance lifting lockdowns and containing the disease. And why we are trying to find a"new normal" rather than the old one.

Getting the basics right has helped in poorer countries too. Mongolia has the longest shared border with China, where the pandemic began. The country could have been badly impacted. However, not a single case requiring intensive care occurredImage caption On the other hand, Prof Heymann argues, a"lack of political leadership" has hampered many countries where"public health leaders and political leaders have difficulty speaking together". In such a climate, the virus has flourished. US president Donald Trump and the country's top infectious disease doctor, Anthony Fauci, have clearly been on different pages, if not completely different books, during the pandemic.

And - in a warning to us all - past success is no guarantee for the future. Hong Kong was widely praised for resisting the first wave of coronavirus - nowhave been closed again, while its Disneyland resort managed to keep the gates open for less than a month.

We need effective therapeutics. Are you aware that the American company, cytodyn, which makes the drug, leronlimab, had statistically significant results in its mild/moderate trial and is seeking emergency use approval in the UK?

It's over 12 Million recovery in the world. So yeah. But i have feared of late December.

Nope
