The WHO has declared the end of the health emergency related to COVID-19, warning that the virus continues to threaten health and reminding the importance of biosecurity measures. (OR)

Few people wear masks, or none at all; even in open and closed places with many people talking, sweating, shouting in malls, parties, stadiums, colosseums, marches, rallies, parades, votes, crying at funerals…; because “the pandemic is over”. The virus exists and mutates into more incredible new forms, the infection exists! Abolished state of health emergency, i.e. state curfew, closure, traffic light colors for danger in cities due to coronavirus infection; carry everywhere, show the vaccination card; spraying disinfectant at the entrances of supermarkets, temples, shopping centers, banks, study centers…; but COVID-19 exists in the world.

Although the WHO (World Health Organization) declared a state of emergency caused by COVID-19, but the virus still poses a threat, do you continue with the measures? It seems to me vitally important that we all continue to take the necessary measures to avoid contracting a virus that has shown how deadly it can be.

We must be aware of how dangerous it would be if we felt the pain of losing loved ones again. (OR)

My family moves out of the crowd, travels by plane, bus, leaves the house, always with a mask and gel.

Vaccines have helped, hospitals and clinics are no longer collapsing, there are no intubations in all intensive care units, there are no more people dying from COVID every day. Vaccinated today, if we get COVID, it’s like the flu, we don’t go to the hospital, we rest at home for four days. However, people who have pre-existing diseases or illnesses, have always suffered from something and get COVID, may have complications from said pre-existing diseases; some didn’t die from COVID, but from complications of their other illnesses that carried them years ago.

The WHO is clear: “The health emergency is over”, whoever wants to continue or stop their health measures, but the COVID continues to contaminate. (OR)

Out of shame, fashion, savings, copying those who don’t mask, because it bothers the face…; they don’t wear masks. (OR)
