The Last Tuesday, 60,000 patients were identified in the country

The coronavirus has taught me over the past year what an epidemic really is. That desperate time has now faded a bit with the advent of ticks. That is why the days of panic, fear and apprehension have not passed. Because it's not possible to say goodbye to Corona.

What is an epidemic?
Undoubtedly ‘pandemic’ is one of the most talked about words of last year. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, pandemic is a disease that spreads over a large geographical area and affects a significant portion of the total population of that area.

Pandemic Bengali conversion epidemic. Its Bengali meaning is a contagious disease that kills many animals.

The world has been hit by numerous epidemics in the last few thousand years. The existence of epidemics has been known since the beginning of the recording of events or the writing of histories. Such as Justinian Plague, Black Death, The Great Plague of London, Smallpox, Cholera etc. This time coronavirus has been added to the list, the disease name of which is Covid-19. Current situation
World-renowned Johns Hopkins University and WorldMetters provide statistics on coronavirus infection, death and recovery. As of 8 pm on Friday, the number of people infected with the coronavirus worldwide was more than 118.5 million, according to estimates given by the two websites. The death toll in Covid-19 has risen to 26 lakh houses. More than 90 million people have recovered. Some of the earlier epidemics can be taken into account to illustrate how terrible the coronavirus epidemic is. According to the Financial Times, the Russian flu of 189 killed one million people. The 1958 Asian flu killed one million people and the 1986 Hong Kong flu killed 1.1 million people. The Spanish flu of 1917 was the deadliest, killing more than 50 million people. In other words, considering the death rate, people have seen a more terrible epidemic than Kovid-19. This is because medical science and technology are now far more advanced than ever before, which has played a role in reducing mortality.

Several corona vaccines are already available. Its application has also started in different countries. This has created a hope of survival from at least Kovid-19 disease. However, there is also fear. Experts have been talking about effective vaccines as a way to survive the epidemic since the middle of last year. At the same time, it was said that underdeveloped countries would not be able to compete with developed countries in terms of vaccination. Johns Hopkins University now says that's exactly what's happening. The less developed countries are not able to keep pace with the pace at which the developed countries are carrying out immunization programs.

Among these are the new wave of epidemics and the new type of coronavirus, B.1.1.6. A study was recently published in the British Medical Journal on this type, first found in the United Kingdom. According to a report in the Voice of America, citing the study, the death rate in people infected with this type of B1.1.6 is 30 to 100 percent higher than in other types of infected people. The average death rate in the previous type of corona is 74 percent.

This new type of corona was introduced in the southeastern United Kingdom last September. It has already been reported to have spread to 100 countries. The researchers say that this type of coronavirus is about one and a half to two and a half times more contagious than the original type.

How did any country
On the one hand, the health system of some countries has been completely destroyed in the Covid-19 epidemic situation, on the other hand, some countries have shown unexpected success.

The United States is currently the worst-hit country in Corona, according to WorldMetrics. The total number of infected people in the country is about three crore people. Corona deaths are the highest in the world in this country. The number is around five and a half lakh. India ranks second in the list of affected countries. The total number of infected people there has exceeded one crore and the number of deaths has exceeded one and a half lakh. Since the beginning of this year, the number of corona cases in Brazil, which is in the third place in the list, has been increasing. In this South American country too, the number of corona cases is more than 1 crore and the death is more than 260,000. Russia and the United Kingdom are in the fourth and fifth positions. The death toll from the corona in Russia is below one million, less than half of the total affected Brazil.

According to the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI), New Zealand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Cambodia, Mauritius, Brunei and Bhutan are among the countries that are in a good position to control the epidemic. In all, there are 20 to 25 countries or regions in this list. On the other hand, the international media Bloomberg has made a list of the countries that are in good condition in the Corona situation. In the latest update ranking on February 25, Bangladesh is ranked 36th out of 53 countries. The top five countries are New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Finland and Norway. Analysts say that the countries that have been working to prevent the spread of the disease since the beginning of the epidemic have succeeded in the Corona period. In these countries, initiatives have been taken to observe various hygiene rules including lockdown, maintaining social distance, travel ban, adequate corona detection test, mask removal.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Ashish Jha, dean of the School of Public Health at Brown University in the United States, said one of the main ways to prevent the Kovid-19 epidemic is to take the coronavirus seriously and take the necessary steps accordingly. Some countries have handled the matter very well. Again, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and other countries are in a dire situation.

Ashish Jha thinks that human civilization has not done very well in coping with the Kovid-19 epidemic. He wants to give ‘C plus’ to mankind in this case by evaluating in grading system. Ashis argued, ‘We all knew that one day the plague would come. We have not been able to deal with this known danger perfectly. 'However, the researcher welcomed the idea of ​​making a vaccine. According to him, it is unthinkable to make a few corona vaccines in less than a year. The role of the World Health Organization
The Corona epidemic was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO). This organization is responsible for leading human civilization in the epidemic. But from the beginning, the company fell into disarray with some contradictory statements. This creates confusion and indecision. Initially at the center of the allegations against the agency was its refusal to declare the corona infection a global health emergency, especially an epidemic.

The World Health Organization, with several official statements, later withdrew from it. These include, ‘Novel coronavirus does not spread from person to person’, ‘Coronavirus does not produce immune antibodies in the body’ and ‘Coronavirus transmission through asymptomatic patients is very rare’. The last speech was made by Maria Van Kerkhov, a top official of the company. "It was a" misunderstanding, "he said at a news briefing in late June last year. I didn't want to talk about any WHO policy or anything like that. We know that some people without symptoms, that is, people who do not have any symptoms, can also spread corona. ' However, the AFP news agency reported that the situation had changed in less than a year. Now the World Health Organization is floating in the tide of praise. The UN agency is also likely to win the Nobel Prize this year after a storm of criticism in such a short time.

According to AFP, the WHO has been pursuing a slow-moving policy, but has gradually increased its activities. In particular, in poor countries, the company continues to garner praise by providing various assistance in corona control, supply of necessary materials, testing, etc. Under its CoVAX program, the company will deliver the corona vaccine to 200 million people in poor and developing countries this year. In that continuity, the World Health Organization has been included in the list of individuals and organizations nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

What is the status of the ticker
Corona has already started applying several tickers. At the forefront are Oxford-Astrageneca, Moderna and Pfizer-Bioentech. The World Health Organization has also approved the emergency use of vaccines made by Oxford-AstraZeneca and Pfizer. Apart from this, there are Russian-made Sputnik-V and Chinese-made Sinovac and Sinoform. In addition, vaccines made by NovaVax and Johnson & Johnson are in the final stages of approval. Researchers are also enthusiastic about these two vaccines. Various European countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have launched immunization programs. Vaccination programs have also started in different countries of Asia including India and Bangladesh. Similarly, vaccination programs are being announced in different parts of the world. However, the British magazine The Economist says that by mid-February, vaccinations had not started in about 85 per cent of the rich countries. That said, it could take another two years to vaccinate enough people in these areas.

Corona effect
The effects of the Corona epidemic are omnipresent. The Corona epidemic has had a profound effect on everything from the economy, politics to society and the state. Its first push comes in the economy. But in the first 9 months of the epidemic, the world's top one thousand rich people are seeing the face of profit after overcoming that loss. On the other hand, working class people, especially the young, women and the less educated, have been left in dire straits. It has been seen that there is a new trend of working from home. Again, the Freedom House report shows that in this Corona period, democracy is becoming more and more dreamy all over the world, and dictatorship is getting stronger. According to analysts, many statesmen are using Corona's time to consolidate their power in this way. How the epidemic ended
Experts say it is a daunting task to bring about 600 million people worldwide under the immunization program. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. This is because new types of coronaviruses are emerging, which are becoming more contagious than before.

Infection is also on the rise in Bangladesh. Sometimes the rate of patient identification decreases but it is increasing again. Compared to the last sample collection on Friday, March 12, the detection rate was 7.62 percent. Analysis of the infection situation showed that the corona detection rate was below 4 percent for six weeks until March 6.
Abu Jamil Faisal, a member of the Public Health Advisory Committee of the Department of Health, told Prothom Alo that corona infection was still going on in the country. If you do not follow the hygiene rules, the situation may get worse.

In addition to vaccination against corona, the emphasis is on hygiene and social distance, wearing a mask, etc. Experts fear that Corona may one day disappear from the face of the earth. Suffer for a long time, may remain as a seasonal disease. Therefore, effective diagnosis should be sought in safe coexistence with it.
