Iran Press/Iran News: Speaking on Saturday at the meeting of the National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus, Hassan Rouhani said: "Everyone thought they had passed through a pandemic," noting that a year had passed since Corona entered the country.
He went on to explain further that with the advancement of health, along with raising the awareness of the people, no one could have imagined that they might be facing a great calamity that was unprecedented throughout the century.
According to the President, no one even thought that this disease would be a pandemic that would make everyone helpless. That is, the rich, the superpowers and those who thought they would conquer other planets, and all the changes we have seen in the last century, the world of robots, digital and artificial intelligence, no one thought they would face this great dilemma that began in late 2019 and we are still suffering from this disease.
"Tens of millions of people have been infected with the disease and hundreds of thousands have died," he said.
"The virus is appearing every day. We see certain mutations in this virus. All desires were for man to reach medicine. They also went to some drugs and said that it was effective and found a high price in the market, but in the end it turned out that these drugs were not an accurate and real treatment," the president noted.
"Human beings have not been able to find a cure for the coronavirus in the last year," Rouhani said, noting, "Everyone knew that it was not possible to get the vaccine for six months and one year."
"Sometimes a vaccine takes 10 years to reach the desired point and its deficiencies are eliminated, but inevitably an emergency was granted and the vaccine was given a general permit because the mortality rate had increased", highlighted he.
Emphasizing the need to take care of the country's entry points, Rouhani said: "Care should be taken against the border crossings from outside to inside, especially in countries that are infected with new viruses." 101
