ted ross, which is ongoing at the moment with a q and a with journalists. and what he spoke about was the fact that vaccinations by themselves are not going to be able to curb this virus. they're going to have to be additional measures as well. continuing, for example, with faith, social distance saying, and the need for good hand hygiene. and he was also quite worried about the that the spread of that the pace of the virus. and i think if we listen to what he actually says, you can actually hear just how alarmed he is about the way on a cron appears to be able to be so much more infectious than previous variance that we've seen up till now. 77 countries have no reported cases of or me chron. and the reality is that, or me, cronies, probably in most countries, even if it hasn't been detected yet, or me, crone is spreading at a rate we have not seen was any previous variant. we're concerned that people are dismissing or me chron meeker on as mild. surely we have learned by and now that we underestimate this virus at our peril, even if or me cron does cause l

o chief ted ross add on. he said to often ethical considerations are absence from policy making. the ethics community has a vital role to play in helping policy makers translate attics, guidance into concrete, actionable policies that include the voices of the most vulnerable and marginalized . that's why this summit is all about. i look forward to hearing about your progress and what we can do at w, jo to make ethics know just abstract concepts, but concrete realities for all people in the beginning. when did not really have discussions about the fundamental cor ethical principles associated with that . and it was only after we became very, very clear that this is something that impacted ethics is fundamental core values that we have to pay attention to. that a large cap crowds are gathering in sudan capital hard to, to protest the deal. the prime minister signed with the military last month. the agreement reinstated abdullah handed to his physician a month after the military detained him and took control handle said the deal was needed to avoid bloodshed, dozens of protest. thi

ted ross. they're the w h o making the point as well, that there is now a twin threat in this pandemic. both delta and all micron causing this surge. dr. tedra, they're giving what may well be the last w h o briefing of the year and using the opportunity to look back at the panoramic look back of the w. i chose roll in the pandemic and reflect a little on, not just where we've come from, but where we need to go. we talked about science leading to solutions, leading to solidarity so that those solutions were shared around the world. and that being the absolute bedrock of the world's effort in tackling the pandemic thus far leading to successes like the vaccines. but of course, as he keeps reminding us, there is the result of vaccine inequality now where the rich world has vaccinated 2 thirds or more of their populations and now well into booster programs lost the developing world. particularly low income countries have barely begun africa. just 7 percent of the population of the whole of africa

and doctor ted ross was very clear to say that those countries which have unprepared health systems. and even frankly, those with prepared health systems are likely to be overwhelmed. the other thing that he touched on in his address to that news conference was the concept of vaccine inequity. he said, look, it's almost wrong that vaccines are being given to people who are at low risk of developing serious problems. boosters have been given to populations which have already received to japs and yet other countries hadn't had their 1st jobs. yet he highlighted $41.00 countries where the vaccination rates of less than 10 percent. and he said that if we end inequity, we can end the pandemic. meanwhile, poll there in the u. k, where parliament is debating corona virus measures of the country's recorded it's worst daily infection rates since january. and these are just the official numbers as well. i mean, we know 59000 official new infections in the last 24 hours and they are infections which have been confirmed by reported lateral flow tests or confirmed by p c r t s . the other concern

ted ross, the head of the world health organization, talking about the twin threats of delta and omicron, but whether it's a twin threat to you and your particular part of the world. well, that depends gonna shape and maps festival from now world and day. so the read map is showing army kron infections or at least way all micron is more prevalent, pretty easy to see. and no surprise that down in south africa. that's where we 1st saw our micron, also, australia, india, and russia. but i would draw your attention to europe, have a look the u. k. yes, we know there is a prevalence of our micron in the u. k, but the rest of europe is not as badly affected. it is dealing with delta change to the blue map, actually i'll change back and forth. have a look at the change across europe between the all micron and the delta maps. you can say there is a lot more delta to deal with in europe as there is a in south america and pots of southeast asia. now, just to give us a slightly different take of chosen 9 different countries here. and we're looking at their share of different infections. the red is

while much of the world's population has yet to get their 1st, his director general ted ross ad how to gabrielle us. blanket wooster programs are likely to prolong the pandemic rather than ending it by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of fascination coverage. giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate. it's important to remember that the vast majority of hospitalized ations and does are in and vaccinated people not on boosted people. so back to dr. manila dr. ammonia, sorry, dr. where are you on boosters? i completely agree with ted rules and i think we cannot emphasize enough that how important it is to equally distribute the vaccine. because until we don't really humanize people back in that country where the possibility of this variant is to mutate more and more, we can really say that we have a good handle on pandemic boosters. are certainly critical to put a level of neutralizing antibody very high. but compared to people who have not got even the 1st those, then he doesn't make any relevance because that is where we are living and it's been
