War in Ukraine could make the Covid-19 pandemic worse, WHO says
CNN ^ | March 13, 2022 | Jen Christensen

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Sunday it is concerned the war in Ukraine could worsen the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is trying to do more to limit the spread of infectious diseases.

Cases in the region are down from the previous week, but there's significant risk there will be more severe disease and death due to low vaccination rates in Ukraine, as well as among the more than two million who've fled the country to surrounding areas, regions also with low vaccination rates. Ukraine's Covid-19 vaccination rate is around 34%, while neighboring Moldova's is around 29%, according to Our World In Data.

Guess we’ll have to protest against systemic racism that much harder to compensate. Maybe even loot some high priced shopping districts.

Some nurses who do TicTok dances said that might reduce hospitalizations.

We're done with the Omicron wave so WHO needs to shut up or back it up with evidence.

That said, I believe we'll see another variant but it is likely to be 6-12 months away.

It's coming. The Pfizer CEO just said a fourth jab will be needed because his profits aren't high enough to protect against the COVID omicron variant.

Putin managed to get rid of Fauci. Fraudci has totally disappeared.

I think we all can at least respect Putin for that.

And the nearer we get to the election, the greater the chance it will get worse. And we might all be asked to mail in our ballots.

I'm praying we get a landside and have 60 or more Senators.

“War in Ukraine could make the Covid-19 pandemic worse”

NOTHING could possibly make the pandemic worse than government and political organization do-gooders trying to force things upon us for our own good.

Ever heard the phrase “liberty or death”?

The WHO, the NIH, and the CDC can take a flying leap into
a barnyard poo mound.

It’s going to take a long long time before I buy off on
anything they say again.

They certainly are desperate to keep the fear porn going, aren’t they?

The war has made covid worse for me. The fuel prices have raised the delivery cost to get my C,D, Zinc, Etc, and my horse paste. Dang baby, Biden sucks!

The virus has been passed around the world countless times with many recognized variants. IMO, it can’t get worse unless someone sets out to make it worse.

To be honest it kind of seems like you were tongue-in-cheek
with your comments. Perhaps I shouldn’t have smiled.

Not happy if you’re truly having a difficult time.
