Daily Mail: WHO warn it is 'unrealistic' the Covid pandemic will end this year 

 * Dr Michael Ryan told a press briefing that it was 'premature' to think the pandemic will be over by the end of the year 

 * He said the world's singular focus should be reducing transmission of Covid-19 

 * WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the same briefing that it was 'regrettable' that young, healthy people in wealthy countries were being vaccinated before at-risk workers in poorer nations
