COVID-19 :  Among 776.8 million confirmed cases, 7 million died, said WHO 

Bujumnbura, December 24th, 2024 Gako News (Blog) The today  WHO Special edition 174 satates that in 234 coutnries, over 7 million deaths were confirmed among 776.8 million people who suffered from COVID-19.

On December 24th, 2024 , the World Health Organisation-WHO has announced  through its special edition 174 that  from the start of the pandemic until November 10, 2024, over 776.8 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 7 million confirmed deaths were notified  across 234 countries. 

As this edition clarifies, the majority of COVID-19 associated deaths occurred in 2020, 2021, and 2022, with increased immunity leading to a significant decrease in deaths. For the latest 4 week reporting period, from 14 October to 10 November 2024, 77 countries reported COVID-19 cases and 27 deaths globally. The number of reported cases decreased by 39%, with over 200 000 new cases and 36% of new deaths, compared to the previous 28 days.  

Overall, ICU admissions per 1000 hospitalizations have been decreasing since the peak in July 2021 when the rate was 245 per 1000 hospitalizations, dropping below 132 per 1000 hospitalizations at the beginning of 2022, and to less than 69 per 1000 hospitalizations by the end of 2023. At the beginning of 2024, there was an increase ICU admissions per 1000 hospitalizations, rising to above 191 per 1000 hospitalizations in March, and declining to 108 per 1000 hospitalizations in early November 2024. Meanwhile, deaths per 1000 hospitalization showed a consistent decline from June 2021 when they reached 253 per 1000 hospitalizations to a low level of 59 per 1000 hospitalizations in August 2023. Since January 2024, the rate has continued to decline reaching 41 deaths per 1000 hospitalizations by early November 2024, states the special edition.  

Post-COVID-19 condition (PCC), called "long COVID" by some, continues to pose a significant burden on health systems, with an estimated 6% of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections resulting in PCC symptoms. While severe COVID-19 is a significant risk factor for PCC, over 90% of PCC cases arise following mild COVID-19 due to the sheer volume of infections. Vaccination appears to offer a protective effect, reducing the likelihood of developing PCC. 

The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has evolved since 2021, with high-income countries initially having higher vaccination rates. From January 2024, WHO shifted from measuring "continuous" COVID-19 vaccination coverage since the start of the vaccine rollout to measuring annual uptake. Using the new monitoring approach, as of the end of the third quarter of 2024, 39.2 million people in 90 Member States (representing 31% of the global population) received a dose this year, with 14.8 million in quarter three alone, added WHO experts.

Ce dimanche 15 décembre 2024, de son retour dans son pays natal, l'évangéliste belgo burundaise Mapendo Anne Marie, hantée par l'évangelisation et la promotion éducative des apprenants batwa,  a prêché à l'église Vivante de Minago en commune et province Rumonge. Elle a insisté sur les attaques stratégiques du diable sur les chrétiens. Ouvrant sa prédication, elle a évoqué les fruits de la patience.

Parmi ces stratégies, Mapendo parle de 25 qui lui sont révélées. 

1. Le sommeil et la fatigue lors de toute rencontre chrétienne

9. La routine (relativisme dans tout)

10. L'adultère multiforme 

11. L'habillement indescent au non de la civilisation

12.  Le mensonge au sein de l'église

13. Refus de la puissance de Dieu, l'ego poussé à l'outrance

14. Distraire les chrétiens pendant l'évangélisation (Mt, 15,8)

15. Le non refus de l'horaire des cultes à l'église (l'ordre mène à Dieu) 

16.  Permette la confusion aux conseillers au sein de  l'église ( le diable se deguise en un ange de lumière) 

17. Tarissement de l'amour au milieu des communautés chrétiennes

18. Manque de pardon mutuel entre les chrétiens

19. Vengeance entre chrétiens

20. Manque de zèle spirituel

21. Distraction spirituelle sur le retour de Jésus

22. Refus d'être dirigé par le Saint Esprit

23. Mari/femme de nuit

24. Masturbation

25. Manque de respect mutuel entre les chrétiens 

A la sortie du culte qui s'est clôturé  par la repentance de tous les chrétiens qui avaient suivi ce kerigme, l'évangéliste belgo burundaise Mapendo Anne Marie a promis de visiter l'école fondamentale Girimbabazi tujane dont l'initiateur est la Ministre de la solidalité sise en commune Nyabihanga en Province Mwaro ce mardi 17 Décembre. Elle sera accompagnée par l'équipe Fount of Education International -FEDU section Burundi. Sur l'agenda figure un don d'uniformes des apprenats du prescolaire de cette école, des cahiers pour les trois premiers cycles, le matériel permettant les jeux d'enfants et les activités seront rehaussées par l'un des visionnaires de cette association dont le litmotif est l'éducation, Monsieur Mbarushimana John vivant en Belgique.
