Humanity struggles with the covert 19 pandemic. Involved as ever the World Health Organization is warning that contract in corona virus may not protect people from getting it again its a critical consideration for countries around the world looking at antibody tests as a justification for lifting lockdowns and restrictions now the u. N. Agency says theres no evidence people whove recovered from the virus have antibodies all and munity from a 2nd infection and its urging against issuing socalled immunity passports theyre essentially certificates given to people whove recovered from covert 19 theres concern that by issuing them the risk of the virus spreading could increase chile has announced that it will be the 1st country to hand out these certificates so people can return to work but other countries are looking at antibody tests to help chart a way out of the lock downs terek said of it is a spokesman for the World Health Organization who told us immunity passports wont be a possibility until the virus is better understood or a vaccine is developed. Well we do certainly understand the intention of trying to see who can go safely back to work or who would be eventually risk free off effecting other people but unfortunately from the scientific point of view we simply dont know if a person who has been infected would call the 19 weeks osco to high risk. Gets immunity and he should get their meat at the how long this immunity is the last thing we still need to see that 2 studies and we do welcome all the advances that are being made on diagnostics and trying to get the best thats real show us how many people actually have been infected in the. Distance you put it for several reasons but at this point we simply dont know so there is no evidence of how much of the immunity if any is being provided to adults who have been infected with the virus we understand that the people who have antibodies. May acquire the immunity because these antibodies real. May may stay in the body like the case without the diseases and and recognize the virus when it comes again but at this stage this is a new virus we simply dont know also theres an issue with the number of diagnostics that are being used out there many of them have not been independently verified their Research Risk well spoken negative which then brings all sorts of other issues so at this stage the piece important that we work on diagnostics and what happened yesterday when we got world read a School Meeting to accelerate the process of research on vaccines but also now the tools such as that gnostic this is really important for the future but at this stage unfortunately this idea of risk free certificate does not really grounded in science.
