YASER J. K. ALSAIDI sending a clear message to The World Health Organization about COVID-19 situation

Yaser. J. K. Alsaidi is a famous Palestinian Medical Neurosurgeon, activist, and public figure. He is also an ambassador for world health, We interviewed doctor Yaser. J. K. Alsaidi to get the latest informations about the current situation of covid-19 .
After almost two years Since the Covid-19 pandemic started there has been so much loss and so much pain , But with it comes new wisdom that may help positively reshape the way we go forward . “ The Coronavirus shows us how terrible it really is to waste our lives, embroiled in endless battles for wealth and status and power. How terrible it really is not to recognize the value in the people around us – not just our family and friends, not just colleagues and fellow citizens, but also complete strangers. How terrible it is not to give our lives meaning – every hour of every day – by honoring the sacredness of life and according all living things the respect, sensitivity and care that they deserve ” Doctor Yaser J. K. Alsaidi says .
“ No doubt, that the COVID-19 pandemic is the worst global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since decades.
The COVID-19 virus has spread to every continent while all countries are racing to slow the spread of the virus by testing and treating patients, carrying out contact tracing, limiting travel, quarantining citizens, closing educational institutions and cancelling large gatherings .
The rapid spread of the coronavirus and its devastating death toll and economic harm have revealed a failure of global preparedness and implementation, a lack of cooperation and coordination across nations, a breakdown of compliance with established norms and international agreements, and a patchwork of partial and mishandled responses. This pandemic has demonstrated the difficulty of responding effectively to emerging outbreaks in a context of growing geopolitical rivalry abroad and intense political partisanship at home.
The lessons of this pandemic could go unheeded once life returns to a semblance of normalcy and COVID-19 ceases to menace nations around the globe. and the world risks repeating many of the same mistakes that exacerbated this crisis, most prominently the failure to prioritize global health security, to invest in the essential domestic and international institutions and infrastructure required to achieve it, and to act quickly in executing a coherent response at both the national and the global level “ Doctor Yaser J. K. Alsaidi says .

What is the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in general?
Virus (Covid-19) is an infectious disease (respiratory system) caused by the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the first known case was identified in Wuhan / China on December 31, 2019, infection can occur through direct contact or Indirectly with the infected person through infected secretions such as saliva and respiratory secretions (coughing, sneezing, talking...etc).
What are the symptoms of coronavirus disease (Covid-19)?
There are no specific symptoms for people infected with the emerging coronavirus disease (Covid-19), but there are common symptoms for a large group of infected people, which are:
- Fever
- dry cough
- Fatigue
despite the fact that a large group of infected people do not show any symptoms when they contract the disease ( Asymptomatic carrier ), and this makes detecting the disease more difficult because the disease will be detected only by a specialized swab .
What are the ways to detect infection with the emerging coronavirus disease (Covid-19)?
There are many ways to detect infection with the emerging coronavirus disease (Covid-19), and the most effective of them are:
• PCR test / by collecting mucus from the nose or throat using a specialized swab in order to detect the genetic material of the virus.
• Antibody test / by taking a blood sample to look for antibodies, which is evidence that your immune system has encountered infection before.
Fortunately, there are many vaccines approved by the World Health Organization for the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19),
• The Pfizer / BioNtech Comirnaty vaccine that was included in the WHO Emergency Use List (EUL) on December 31, 2020
• SII/Covishield and AstraZeneca/AZD1222 vaccine (developed by AstraZeneca/Oxford and manufactured by State Institute of India and SK Bio respectively) on February 16.
• Janssen/Ad26.COV 2.S vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson, in EUL on March 12, 2021.
• Moderna COVID-19 (mRNA 1273) vaccine in EUL on April 30, 2021.
• Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine in EUL on May 7, 2021 (Sinopharm vaccine is produced by Beijing Bio-Institute of Biological Products Co Ltd, a subsidiary of China National Biotec Group (CNBG)).
Despite the fact that some COVID-19 mutants such as Eta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Delta and the new Mu mutant first discovered in Colombia in January 2021 make things difficult to fully contain COVID-19, It means that he may also be able to evade some of the protection we get from COVID-19 vaccines due to the fact that most COVID-19 vaccines target the virus' "spike protein", which it uses to enter human cells. The virus, most commonly a spike protein, so our immune system can learn to fight off the virus if it encounters it.”

If there are significant changes in the 'spike protein' in the mutant, this may reduce the efficacy of the vaccines.
Evolutionary theory predicts that the virus may become more transmissible over time, but is less severe, as the virus wants to spread as much as possible and does not want to kill its host before it can. But that may not necessarily be the way SARS-CoV-2 works, and realistically we are still in the early days of this virus.
The best way to combat mutants is to vaccinate as many people as possible, to reduce the number of hosts susceptible to the virus to reproduce and mutate.
“The good news is that vaccines currently protect very well against symptomatic infection and severe illness from all types of virus so far,” says Dr. Yaser Alsaidi.
YASER J. K. ALSAIDI has worked with several national and international humanitarian organizations such as World Health Organization ( WHO ) , The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) , United Nations Children’s Fund ( UNICEF ), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ) , International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ) , International Organization for Migration ( IOM ) and participated in many local and international, seminars and lectures such as (2018: 9th Annual CUGH Global Health Conference) which was held in New York, lectures for the Ukrainian Doctors Association, lectures for the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations and lectures for the World Medical Association ) and international neurosurgery lectures and medical lectures at Kharkiv National University, YASER has devoted his time to providing training and medical programs and courses in many countries and in different languages.
