“The burden of post-COVID-19 conditions is only likely to increase,” he said.Īs the world looks to to end the COVID emergency, “we still need to understand how it began,” Ghebreyesus said, urging China to “share the data and conduct the studies that we have requested, to better understand the origins of the virus.” And the challenges it poses will endure, including vaccinating people in low-income countries, making access to diagnostics and treatments more equitable, and improving viral surveillance, which has weakened as the pandemic drags on.Īnother major challenge: long COVID, which affects an estimated 10% to 20% of people who’ve had COVID, according to the WHO. “That’s still 10,000 too many, and there is still a lot countries can do to save lives, but we have come a long way,” he said.ĬOVID is “here to stay,” according to Ghebreyesus. Last week it killed less than 10,000, Ghebreyesus said. “It’s here to stay, and all countries will need to learn to manage it alongside other respiratory illnesses including influenza and RSV, both of which are now circulating intensely in many countries.”Ī year ago, as Omicron was taking off, the virus was killing 50,000 each week. There is never a good time and never a bad time to make these decisions.“Of course, this virus will not go away,” he said.
It's just one of those things and we have to deal with it. Obviously it would be better for all of us to decide after Bahrain this year what we're doing next year, but we haven't. But race car drivers, it's part of the job to deal with pressure. "I shouldn't be laughing, but it could be one way or the other. "It depends what the outcome is!" he said. When asked by MotorLat about whether it is difficult for Schumacher to not have clarity on his future at this point of the season, he laughed, and assured: Short-term was a few years ago, now we need to take the team forward." We just think about the mid-term, not just short-term. "It's not down to one race, as a lot of people say it is: 'Oh, if he has a fantastic race here' - no. How we can improve the team, that's the only thing," he said. We have done a lot of analysis of what we've done wrong this year. I think we will make a step next year with our car development. It's just down to that: what is the best decision for the team to move where we want to move.
"The future of Haas, of the team, how's best to develop the team for the future. That's the only thing we want to do, and the rest we want to try to make the best decision we can, and sometimes time helps to make your decisions.
#Hopefully next year driver
"There are no seats out there anymore why would we be in a hurry to announce it? We need to do it before the Bahrain test next year basically because we want to have the driver which drives next year in the car in the Bahrain test.
I'm a slow thinker! We wanted to make sure that we take the right decision." Steiner explained. "Hopefully, that's my objective, but I don't promise it. However, the boss of the American Team in the pinnacle of motorsport did not want to get into trouble and assured that Haas has not yet made a decision as to who will be their 2023 driver. "Hopefully next week we can announce something, whatever we're doing." "I think we can wrap it up pretty quickly," Steiner said. With just two weeks remaining until the end of the season and with one seat still to be confirmed for next year's grid, Haas Team Principal Guenther Steiner was questioned on the subject at Thursday's media day ahead of racing at Interlagos.
