- The fight against coronavirus in 2021 will be more difficult in 2020 due to new mutations, according to a World Health Organization official.
- Although current vaccines should be effective against new mutations, it is said that recently discovered strains are much more infectious than the original.
- New coronavirus mutations have been found in the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Africa.
According to many health experts, the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines will put an end to the global coronavirus pandemic sometime in 2022. However, there are likely to be millions of new infections and countless deaths associated before we can definitely leave the coronavirus.
Especially with the arrival of mutated and more infectious strains of the virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns that the fight against VOCID in 2021 could be more difficult than in 2020.

“Let’s go to a second year of this, it could be even harder considering the dynamics of transmission and some of the problems we’re seeing,” Dr. Mike Ryan, WHO emergency manager, during an online event.
“Certainly in the Northern Hemisphere,” Ryan continued, “and particularly in Europe and North America, we’ve seen this kind of perfect storm of the season: cold, incoming people, increased social mix, and a combination of factors. it increased the transmission transmitted to many, many countries ”.
Unfortunately, Ryan’s prediction is already coming to our eyes in the United States. As Dr. warned. Fauci and other health experts, January is on track to be the worst month of the entire pandemic.
The United States currently averages about 250,000 new coronavirus infections a day, a record five times the rate of infection in early October. It is worth noting that this increase is not just a feature of more widespread testing, as we have seen a corresponding increase in coronavirus-related deaths over the same period of time. This past Tuesday, the United States reported 4,406 COVID-related deaths in a 24-hour period, a record number.
Broadly speaking, Ryan added earlier this week that the coronavirus pandemic should serve as an alarm call for the global community because future pandemics could turn out to be much more deadly.
“This pandemic has been very severe, it has spread all over the world very quickly and it has affected every corner of this planet,” Ryan said a few days ago. “It simply came to our notice then. This virus is highly transmissible and kills people, depriving so many people of loved ones. But its current fatality rate is reasonably low compared to other emerging diseases. It’s a wake-up call. “
As for the vaccination effort in the US, The New York Times’ The vaccine tracker explains that the U.S. has received 30.6 million doses of vaccines and that 11.1 million Americans have been vaccinated so far. In the future, the Trump administration recently said it will send more doses of vaccine to states that can administer them more quickly. In turn, states that are unable to vaccinate their population quickly will receive fewer doses.
As a prime example of the inefficiencies that continue to affect the launch of the COVID-19 vaccine, Michigan has received approximately 831,000 doses but has only administered about 332,140 shots.
