COVID-19 (novel coronavirus)
The World Health Organization designated Sunday as the first International Day of Epidemic Preparedness.
It was called for by the United Nations General Assembly “to advocate the importance of the prevention of, preparedness for and partnership against epidemics,” WHO said, adding that they work closely with governments “to support efforts to build strong emergency and epidemic preparedness systems, as part of an overall approach to advance universal health coverage and strengthen primary health care systems.”
In a video statement shared by WHO, director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that it is hard to believe that Covid-19 was completely unknown only a year ago, and that the impacts of the pandemic have gone far beyond the disease itself, with far reaching consequence for societies and economies.
“None of this should come as a surprise,” Tedros said, adding that there have been many reports, reviews and recommendations saying the same thing over the years: “the world is not prepared for a pandemic.”
Tedros said that everyone must learn from the lessons being taught by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“History tells us that this will not be the last pandemic, and epidemics are a fact of life,” Tedros said. “But with investments in public health, supported by an all of government, all of society, one health approach, we can ensure that our children and their children inherit a safer, more resilient and more sustainable world.”

Health official on possible post-holiday Covid-19 surge: "We really have to wait and see"
From CNN's Naomi Thomas
from Fox News
Whether there is a spike in new cases after people traveling for the holidays “really depends on what the travelers do when they get where they’re going,” Admiral Brett Giroir, US Health and Human Services assistant secretary, said on Fox News Sunday.
Giroir said that the actual physical act of traveling in airplanes, for example, can be quite safe because of air purification systems, but “what we really worry about is the mingling of different bubbles once you get to your destination.”
Over Thanksgiving, he said, there was a mixed picture. In the Midwest and Northern Plains cases continued to go down despite the travel, “which meant that people really did the kinds of things we talked to them about,” such as wearing a mask and limiting gatherings.
“We really have to wait and see,” Giroir said, adding that he really encourages people to follow US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, make family gatherings small and safe and protect the elderly.

20 million vaccinations by the end of the year is "probably unrealistic at this point," former FDA head says
From CNN's Naomi Thomas
Former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration Dr. Scott Gottlieb said on Sunday that the idea of getting 20 million vaccinations administered by the end of the year is probably unrealistic at this point, when asked what he thought about the pace of Covid-19 vaccination by CBS’s Margaret Brennan.
On Saturday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 9,547,925 vaccine doses had been distributed and 1,944,585 had been administered.
“The pace is slower than what was stated, I think it’s probably realistic to think that the pace is going to be a little bit slower, especially as we try to move through hard to vaccinate populations next month,” Gottlieb said on CBS’s Face The Nation.
Gottlieb said that he suspected more than a million people have been vaccinated and that there is a lag in reporting, “but the idea that we’re going to get 20 million vaccinations by the end of the year, that’s probably unrealistic at this point.”
Gottlieb said to remember that this was after only about 45% of vaccines were shipped to states.
“I think they’ll get up and running and get better systems in place to distribute these vaccines more efficiently, I think they’re going to turn to CVS and Walgreens to start distributing them in the community and that’s a pretty big footprint,” he said. “But again, as you get out into the community and try to vaccinate a harder to reach population, it’s going to become significantly more difficult to get those vaccines out.”
The fact that there was a struggle to vaccinate health care workers and nursing home patients, “that shows we need to be investing more in these efforts,” Gottlieb said.

"We're very concerned" about possible post-holiday surge, US Surgeon General says
From CNN's Naomi Thomas
from ABC
“We’re very concerned and we always see a little bit of a bump after holidays, and sometimes a large bump,” US Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams, said on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, when asked about concerns about a post-holiday surge of Covid-19 and the number of people who traveled.
“The important thing for people to understand is that even if you traveled, it doesn’t mean you just throw your hands up in the air and say ‘oh well,’” Adams said. “There are measures that you can take.”
Adams noted the CDC recommendations that people get tested three to five days after travel or after being around people without masks being worn.
“Getting that test now means that if you were exposed to asymptomatic spread from someone else, we can find out and we can limit your ability to spread to others,” Adams said.
He also said that “you should definitely stay away from vulnerable people,” over the next fourteen days if you traveled, “so you don’t give them coronavirus from your holiday gathering.”
