Deaths are declining, but the pandemic isn’t over yet, experts warn
While the head of the World Health Organization says the end of the COVID-19 pandemic is “in sight,” some Canadian experts warn it would be premature to declare the global health crisis over.
“The question is: are we there yet? And there’s many parts of the system that suggest it’s premature to make that call.” “I’d like to see us get through the fall and winter with stability in our system,” he said. “And part of that means controlling the virus … to give our health system a chance of functioning to its full extent over the fall and winter.”
“Now is the worst time to stop running. Now is the time to run harder and make sure we cross the line and reap all the rewards of our hard work.” And Colin Furness, who also teaches at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, noted that Canada’s lack of COVID-19 data makes it hard to prove that things are truly looking up.
