The Third Wave: Combining the Important and the Urgent

It is the underwater wave that does not break and is therefore invisible. However, it is also the strongest wave that gives the tide its greatest force and, thus, its effects only become visible when you leave the beach. What we have beenƒ??unfortunatelyƒ??seeing, hearing and, to a larger degree, treating for several months is only Covid-19, with its constant volume of figures on the people infected and dead, which if they werenƒ??t so dramatic, would be liable for hosting a world competition on nonsense due to the absolute lack of credibility, both of governments and international organizations. When they have upheld at several different times that we are better now than at the beginning of the pandemic, one wants to believe it, but in all honesty, we continue to not know exactly what the virus transmission mechanisms are or its pathogeny. We are largely ignorant of the early warning signs of severity, the immune response it causes or its duration. We still do not have effective medicines and keep expressing our hopes in the different vaccines, without speaking of the uncertainties involved in the scientific processes to produce vaccines.
