Now when I hear people talk about the New World Order I disregard it. When I hear W.H.O say this, and governments telling us "the world is going to have to change forever" I raise my eyebrows. Just what in the F does W.H.O mean? Does this mean Western nations should just deny ALL future immigration to mitigate the risks?
Coronavirus may never go away, WHO warns
Speaking at a briefing on Wednesday, WHO emergencies director Dr Mike Ryan warned against trying to predict when the virus would disappear.
He added that even if a vaccine is found, controlling the virus will require a "massive effort".
Almost 300,000 people worldwide are reported to have died with coronavirus, and more than 4.3m cases recorded.
The UN meanwhile warned the pandemic was causing widespread distress and mental ill health - particularly in countries where there's a lack of investment in mental healthcare.
The UN urged governments to make mental health considerations part of their overall response.
What did WHO say?
"It is important to put this on the table: this virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities, and this virus may never go away," Dr Ryan told the virtual press conference from Geneva.
"HIV has not gone away - but we have come to terms with the virus."
Dr Ryan then said he doesn't believe "anyone can predict when this disease will disappear".
