“We all want it all to end. We all want to take back our lives. But the harsh reality is that it is far from over, ”warned the Director General of the Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The virus continues to wreak havoc in South America, the United States and seems to be restarting in China, and in a “divided world” and faced with “a lack of national unity and global solidarity (…) the worst is coming, “he warned. WHO will send a team “next week” to China, where this coronavirus appeared in December, to determine its origin and better understand it. The head of the organization called on governments and citizens to put in place “simple solutions” in order to “save lives now”: “test, trace, isolate, and quarantine cases”. According to a count made by AFP from official sources, but which experts think largely underestimated, 502,599 deaths and 10.2 million cases were officially listed on Monday evening. The number of deaths worldwide has doubled in just under two months (250,000 on May 5) and an additional 50,000 deaths have been recorded in the past ten days. Cradle of the pandemic in Wuhan, in the center of the country, China believed to have finished with the virus but it reappeared in mid-June in Beijing, to the point that the authorities closed schools and placed in confinement several thousand of people.
