Five years Corona: Review of the worst virus in history!
Five years Corona: Review of the worst virus in history!
Wuhan, China - Five years ago, on December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the new Coronavirus Sars-Cov-2 and the associated disease Covid-19 became known. On this historical day, China informed the World Health Organization (WHO) about the first cases that went out from the Huanan Fish market in Wuhan. From that moment on, the epidemic took its course: the virus spread at lightning speed worldwide and led to countless diseases and deaths. As the Volksblatt on May 5, 2023 declared the pandemic to have ended a significant immunity was achieved in the population.
In Austria, over 6.08 million infections were registered by July 2023 and around 22,500 deaths in connection with COVID-19 were recorded. The WHO continuously published its data, but emphasized that it only involves confirmed cases and deaths. According to Who> the statistical values vary worldwide due to different test strategies and reporting practices. Therefore, the numbers can often change, which can lead to distortions, for example by subsequent changes or corrections.
The traces of pandemic
The effects of pandemic were globally and permanently noticeable. After the first report on December 31, 2019, the world set up for months of hard cuts, such as Lockdowns and social distancing, to contain the spread of the virus. The EU started vaccination at the end of December 2020, which paved the way to deal with the crisis. But the return to normality is difficult, especially since Sars-Cov-2 has not been presented as a reportable disease in Austria since July 2023.
These significant health events and the continuous updates of the WHO clarify how important effective crisis management in global health care is. The traceability and validation of the data remain essential in order to understand the actual trends and to better prevent future outbreaks
