What are top five pandemics that can't be cured today?
The top five pandemics we are facing today include:
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. It can also be transmitted by touching a surface or object contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 38 million people were living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2019. Since the beginning of the epidemic, nearly 75 million people have been infected with HIV and around 32 million have died from AIDS-related illnesses.
There is currently no cure for Malaria, but it can be treated with antimalarial drugs. Prevention is also key in reducing the spread of Malaria, such as using insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. People with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV, are at a higher risk of developing TB if they come into contact with the bacteria.
