“We hope to end this pandemic (in) less than two years, if we can paint together,” Tedros said Friday at a press conference.
Coronavirus has inflamed another 22.7 million people worldwide and killed some 800,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University on Friday.
THE SILENT FORM OF CORONAVIRUS MAY BE MORE CONTAGIOUS, BUT LESS FATAL, EXPERTS SAY
The 1918 flu ignited 500 million more people and killed about 50 million worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
WHO Head of Health Emergencies, Dr Michael Ryan, also highlighted the difference between coronavirus and 1918 flu.
Ryan noted that three different waves happened with the 1918 pandemic, with the wave at the moment being the devastating maxim for the population.
“This virus doesn’t show a wavy pattern,” Ryan said. “When the virus is under control, it bounces directly.”
Influenza also operates seasonally and has not been the case with coronavirus, which has been very well maintained in the summer in some parts of the world, adding the United States.
“This means that each and every user and every single family circle has a duty to know the point of transmission at the local point and perceive what others can do to themselves,” Tedros said Friday.
“Throughout history, epidemics and pandemics have economies and societies. This will be no different,” he added.

Tedros explained that the lack of pollutants from a on-hi-running world due to the pandemic has created a new “pulse” in countries around the world to the healthiest environmental life criteria that have emerged.
“The pandemic gave us a glimpse of our global as it can be: cleaner skies and rivers,” Tedros said, before a slogan that ended up having political significance in the United States. “Rebuilding bigger means rebuilding greener.”
WHO can be contacted to see if Tedros intended to use a word that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden coined in his crusader slogan, “Rebuild Better.”
Trump’s leadership has been very supportive of WHO, accusing it of China-centric policies and withdrawing the United States from the organization in July.
The Director General said that the global network would have to use pandemic recovery as an opportunity to begin making adjustments to address climate change and environmental discrimination.
“Forty million fitness professionals from 90 countries have sent a letter to G20 leaders calling for a good recovery from COVID-19,” he said. “And we have noticed many examples of countries acting for the lives, livelihoods and planet on which they depend.”
Tedros said the UK had its lowest carbon emissions, the most polluting form of energy, in 250 years in 2020, after the pandemic.
Pakistan has launched a “green revival” program, which will pay others who have lost their jobs to the coronavirus to plant trees.

Spain has one of the most decarbonized nations in the world, seven of the 15 coal-burning power plants in the country.
And Portugal will be a year without coal.
The difficulty is learning, growing and changing,” Tedros said.
“COVID-19 is an exclusive fitness crisis in a century,” he said. “But it also gives us an exclusive opportunity to shape the global that our young people will inherit: how global we want.”
