Original title: Guterres: 5 million deaths from new coronary pneumonia worldwide should be a clear warning
On November 1, local time, according to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, more than 5 million people worldwide have died because of the new crown virus. UN Secretary-General Guterres issued a statement on this, stating that “this painful milestone is reminding us that we are failing many people in the world.” Some countries have begun to vaccinate the new crown vaccine booster, but only 5% of Africans are fully vaccinated. Guterres said this is a global shame.
Guterres warned that the death of 5 million people should be a clear warning: we cannot relax our vigilance. Insufficient medical resources and virus mutation may claim more lives, while false information, vaccine hoarding and vaccine nationalism, and the lack of global unity in response to the epidemic will also allow the new crown virus to continue to develop.
Guterres urged global leaders to fully support the United Nations vaccine strategy, so that 40% of the population will be vaccinated against the new crown by the end of this year, and 70% of the population will be vaccinated by the middle of 2022. Guterres said that the perception of the end of the epidemic is wrong, and people must remain vigilant to the utmost to achieve vaccine fairness.
