Three WHO scenarios for how pandemic will evolve this year

The World Health Organization has laid out three possible paths that the Covid-19 pandemic might follow in 2022.

The WHO said the most likely way forward was that the severity of disease caused by the virus would wane over time, due to greater public immunity.

But the UN health agency also said a more dangerous variant of concern than Omicron could be lurking round the corner.

The WHO released its updated Covid-19 Strategic Preparedness, Readiness and Response Plan, with the organisation's chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus hoping it will be the last.

since it's obvious that there's too many people who demand their FreeDumb from any
reasonable mandates that they contribute to the "greater public immunity".

And by carrying on the protections that I and many others have used now for over 2 years
I'll not only avoid any new covid variant but I'll also be protected against common
illnesses like colds and the flu.

If the WHO and CDC wonder why I don't trust them they can ask me and I'll tell them.
