Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, more than 231 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 4.7 million associated deaths have been reported globally. Over the past year and a half, Dr. Widad Akreyi, co-founder of Defend International, has spent some of her time researching the pandemic. The result is a book titled Anatomy of COVID Calamity. It documents the impacts of the pandemic on individuals and societies, pinpointing the way forward.
“A public health emergency of international concern, this crisis has reshaped so much of our lives,” Dr. Widad said. “Its era has been marked by death and despair. The pandemic has demonstrated how the world is connected. How something happening in one continent can affect the rest of the world.“
We asked the author: how does the virus behave after infection?
“In order to maintain persistent infection, SARS-CoV-2 employs strategies to evade the host immune surveillance,” Dr. Widad explained. In her book, she maintains that understanding the anatomy of the pandemic is key to our ability to overcome the current threat and prevent the next pandemics.
