BRUSSELS — A European expert on the new coronavirus is warning that people must not be lulled into thinking their lives may soon return to normal as the spread of the disease drops and some citizens return to work.
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control Director Andrea Ammon told EU lawmakers Monday that “this is not going to end any time soon and people need to prepare mentally for it.”
Ammon said that the number of new positive cases is declining across Europe, and only Bulgaria has cases on the rise. Numbers in Britain, Poland, Romania and Sweden are steady.
More than 1.1 million cases had been recorded as of Monday across 31 European countries. More than 136,000 have died, according to the ECDPC.
Unclear cases, low testing rates and the strain on health care systems mean the true scale of the pandemic is surely greater.
Amman insists that “this virus will not go away as long as we don’t have a vaccine” and warns “we must not drop our guard.”
As the experts keep saying, the key is “testing, testing, testing.”
Then again, boy wonder Jared “Full Metal Jackass” Kushner says ….
The same now as in Feb, regarding testing. What a monstrosity of a failure on behalf of this two bit administration.
Donnie was right, COVID-45 WILL disappear by Easter.
It will be interesting to see how they wave off these warnings, but it’s obvious that they will either ignore or come up with some BS reason that it won’t be as bad here. I’m guessing ignore.
Deaths in the United States are still going up.
Yes, what goes up must come down, but that means tens of thousands of deaths to go.
