Podcast appearances and mentions of Carissa F Etienne

Carissa F. Etienne, directora de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, aclaró que las medidas preventivas ante el covid-19 deben permanecer, sobre todo en zonas donde las personas permanecen sin vacunarse o donde los casos estén incrementándose. Hasta octubre, el organismo definirá si la enfermedad se continúa considerando una emergencia sanitaria mundial, pero hasta entonces, las medidas deben prevalecer como uso cotidiano entre las personas. El director de emergencia de la OPS, Ciro Ugarte mencionó que se espera un repunte de casos en México, asociado con las celebraciones del día de los muertos y del fin de año.

Low vaccination coverage in many countries of the Caribbean must be urgently addressed to stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect the most vulnerable, warned PAHO Director, Carissa F. Etienne, with health care workers and the elderly remaining particularly at risk.Out of the 13 countries and territories in the Americas that have not yet reached WHO's 2021 goal of 40% vaccination coverage, 10 are in the Caribbean, she said at a media briefing today. Vaccine hesitancy, a lack of vaccination centers in remote areas, insufficient staff numbers, and limited cold-chain infrastructure remain huge barriers to vaccination in many islands, but we now have the tools “to turn the tide on vaccinations in the Caribbean.”With 700 million people now vaccinated in Latin America and the Caribbean, there are “real-word data to show that vaccines are safe and effective against COVID-19,” the PAHO Director said. But interventions must now be tailored to the needs of those that remain vulnerable in each country.

Washington D.C., 16 February 2022 (PAHO) – Complacency around mask wearing, travel, and indoor gatherings created a perfect opportunity for the new Omicron variant to spread rapidly throughout the region and increase deaths, alerted PAHO Director, Carissa F. Etienne, with many places remaining “just as they were before.”“Reduced public health measures were insufficient to reduce the scale of this wave. And now we're dealing with the consequence: a rise in infections is driving a surge in deaths,” she said at a media briefing today.While still very high, COVID-19 infections declined by 31% this week, and deaths continued to rise by 5.6%.“Undoubtedly, Omicron overtook us,” the Director said. “Every time infections surge, there is a heavy toll for our families and communities,” with peaks in cases followed by peaks in deaths three weeks later.

Washington D.C., 8 December 2021 (PAHO/WHO) – With 20 countries yet to reach the WHO's year-end vaccination target of 40%, and the Omicron variant now detected in six countries in the region, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Director Carissa F. Etienne said that accelerating access to vaccines will be key to protecting populations, particularly the most vulnerable.

(December 1, 2021)In a consensus decision aimed at protecting the world from future infectious diseases crises, the World Health Assembly today agreed to kickstart a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, said the decision by the World Health Assembly was historic in nature, vital in its mission, and represented a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen the global health architecture to protect and promote the well-being of all people.While experts work to better understand the new WHO-designated “variant of concern,” Omicron, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Director Carissa F. Etienne, called for increased vaccination and public health measures to ensure the best possible protection against the virus. Urging against panic, the PAHO Director highlighted that there are still many unknowns and studies will take some time to complete. Until then, “it is not clear whether Omicron is more transmissible than other variants, or if it causes more severe disease,” she said in a media briefing today.

Washington, DC, December 10, 2021 (PAHO) – With countries in the Americas reporting severe disruptions in essential primary health care services, urgent investment is key to improving health systems continuously weakened by the pandemic, said Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Director Carissa F. Etienne. “Chronic underinvestment has made the Americas vulnerable to COVID-19,” Dr. Etienne said today in a media briefing on COVID-19. With cases rising in some parts of the region following a two-month decline, it is vital that countries remain vigilant and prioritize public spending in heath so that no one is left behind.“Few countries invest as much public spending in their health services as they should, leaving them prone to shortages in health personnel and essential supplies.”

BILL GATES: PUNTOS CLAVE CONTRA COVID-19. Una de las mentes más brillantes de estos tiempos y quien predijo hace años que un tipo de virus podría poner en jaque a gran parte del planeta, señaló que aún “hay una ventana abierta” para luchar contra el coronavirus.   Uno: “Primero, necesitamos un enfoque nacional consistente para cerrar. A pesar de las instancias de los expertos en salud pública, algunos estados y condados no han cerrado por completo. En algunos estados, las playas aún están abiertas; en otros, los restaurantes aún sirven comidas sentadas”,   Dos: “Muchas más pruebas deben estar disponibles. También debemos agregar los resultados para poder identificar rápidamente a los voluntarios potenciales para los ensayos clínicos y saber con confianza cuándo es el momento de volver a la normalidad.   Tres: “Finalmente, necesitamos un enfoque basado en datos para desarrollar tratamientos y una vacuna. Los científicos están trabajando a toda velocidad en ambos. Mientras tanto, los líderes pueden ayudar al no alimentar rumores o compras de pánico".    WASHINGTON POST   OTRA JORNADA DE DOLOR EN EUROPA.   España y Reino reportaron cifras récords de muertos por COVID-19. Las autoridades españolas informaron temprano que se produjeron 864 fallecimientos en las últimas 24 horas. Por su parte, el Reino Unido registró por primera vez el miércoles más de 500 muertos en un día.

La cumbre del clima, la COP26 de Naciones Unidas, que debía celebrarse a finales de este año en Glasgow, fue pospuesta hasta 2021 debido a la crisis global Esta semana el gobierno escocés anunció que el SEC Arena - donde se celebraría la COP26 - se convertirá en un hospital de campaña.   AVANZA EL CORONAVIRUS EN AMÉRICA LATINA. La directora de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), Carissa F. Etienne, apela a la solidaridad entre los distintos países en la lucha contra la pandemia, toda vez que se espera que los casos sigan aumentando.

Puso énfasis en que el distanciamiento social y otras medidas preventivas enérgicas siguen siendo nuestra mejor apuesta para prevenir las consecuencias más graves de la pandemia de COVID-19 en nuestra región Finalizó diciendo: “Este virus no ha sido ni será detenido por las fronteras trazadas en los mapas”.   YOUTUBE VS TIK TOK. El mundo de las aplicaciones móviles siempre está cambiando y presentando nuevas herramientas que permiten a los usuarios de teléfonos inteligentes desarrollar su creatividad de distintas formas. En los últimos meses (y sobre todo en estos tiempos de aislamiento), una de las apps que más fama ha tenido es TikTok, red social que permite crear videos de 3 a 15 segundos. En respuesta al fenómeno que ha causado el programa chino, YouTube planea lanzar un proyecto similar, de nombre Shorts. Tal como con TikTok, el objetivo es que los usuarios puedan subir a su canal microvideos acompañados de audios que cuenten con licencia oficial de uso para YouTube.   CAEN REDES SOCIALES. Usuarios de redes sociales reportaron problemas en Facebook, Instagram y WhatsApp, tres de las plataformas más populares a nivel mundial.
