World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus briefed reporters this week about the spread of coronavirus,or COVID-19. “The threat of pandemic has become very real," he said. "But this would be the first pandemic that could be controlled." "We're not at the mercy of the virus,” noted the organization on its website. The WHO says it has been reluctant to use the word "pandemic" and the briefing added clarification regarding why the term isn't yet appropriate.
