WHO warns against most deadly flu virus
The world is going to face a huge challenge. This challenge will be a dangerous virus spreading in the air, which can spread all over the world within 36 hours of knocking. Due to this, eight crore people may die across the globe. The former head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued these alerts. They have described it as the most dangerous flu (virus) ever. WHO has also asked to be prepared for this.
According to experts, the Spanish Flu Pandemic infected one-third of the world’s population about a century ago in 1918. Five crore people died due to this flu. The flu that that is about to knock now is even more dangerous than the Spanish flu. According to experts, this flu will be even more dangerous because in today’s world, more and more people are traveling from one country to another in the world than at the time of Spanish flu. In this sense, the flu will prove to be more dangerous than before and will spread to the whole world in just 36 hours.
Alert issued to all countries
The team of health experts of ‘The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board’ led by former Chief of the World Health Organization, the World Health Organization, gave its report to the leaders of all countries to defend and to take necessary steps. The report released by the board on Wednesday said that the warning of this epidemic spreading across the world is real.
Inadequate current rescue efforts
According to experts, this flu that spreads at a very high speed is extremely dangerous. It has the capacity to kill 100 million people. At the same time, it also poses at great risk of deteriorating the economy of many countries and destabilizing national security. Experts have named this report ‘A World at Risk’, which states that this virus can prove to be as dangerous as Ebola. Efforts are currently inadequate in view of the threat of deadly viruses like Ebola.
GPMB issued alert
It is known that the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), the organization that issues the alert of this dangerous virus, is headed by former Prime Minister of Norway and WHO Director General, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland and Elhadj As Sy, Secretary General of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The report released by the institution said that the report of this dangerous flu released by them was completely ignored by the global leaders. The WHO has also stamped this report.
GPMB report
The GPMB report warns that by far the most dangerous virus could kill five to eight crore people worldwide. This virus will spread rapidly through the air and take the form of an epidemic. Due to this, the five percent economy of the world can also be affected. The world is not ready for this danger at all. Because of this, health services in many poor countries may collapse.
WHO also issued an alert
Adopting this report, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the WHO, has called on the governments of all countries to make firm preparations to deal with this threat. He said that this is the time when the countries involved in G-7, G-20 and G-77 can set an example for the rest of the world. The alert of this dangerous flu that has spread in the air has already been issued by WHO.
Over 50 million lost life in flu of 1918
More than a third of the world’s population was attacked by a deadly virus spread in 1918 nearly a century ago. Due to this, 50 million people worldwide died within a month. This figure was more than three times the total deaths in the First World War. It was the fastest spreading and fastest killing virus in history. Most of the virus affects children, the elderly or physically challenged people. In contrast, the victims of this flu of 1918 were the most healthy youth. Germany, Britain, France, Spain and the United States were the worst sufferers of the flu.
