President of the United States Joe Bidensurprised many by assuring that the pandemic was COVID-19 “It’s over” are statements that have sparked controversy in one of the countries hardest hit by the disease.

How true is what the President of the United States said? AT News extensiondoctor Caesar UgarteAn epidemiologist from the University of Cayetano Heredia, analyzed Joe Biden’s statements, which, in his opinion, should be taken as “another policy issue.”

“Cases have decreased around the world? Yes, there are fewer deaths? Also. But, on the other hand, we have more than a billion unvaccinated,” the expert commented.

“It’s not that easy and I think the decision taken by the Biden government is related to another political issue and the fact that we already have to cut certain (protocols). It’s more of a push to get things to work more normally, if we want to call it that,” he added.

In this sense, Caesar Ugarte He said he agreed more with the remarks made last week by the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesuswho stated that “the end of the pandemic is already in sight.”

“I agree more with the position of Dr. Tedros. I think that more than ever before in these two years we are in a much more optimistic situation, much closer (to the end of the pandemic),” he said.

endemic

Per Caesar UgarteThe world is on its way to completing the “phase” of the pandemic, to entering the endemic phase, in which the population will have to learn how to live with COVID-19.

“What will continue is that we are going to move to a stage where we will live with the virus. We have experience how to deal with this, but this does not mean that it is over, ”he said.

“They say that we will live with it and we will live in peace, but this does not mean that the pandemic is over. They still have some issues that need to be resolved, for example, what will we do with those who have prolonged COVID, ”he said.
