The Covid-19 pandemic could 'get worse and worse', the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned after a record-high 230,000 cases were confirmed yesterday.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the UN agency, made it clear that if countries fail to implement basic measures to control the virus, the crisis will get worse.
He has previously claimed that the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic was yet to come because the spread of the life-threatening disease is accelerating in some parts of the world.

Moar! Moar! Moar!
More Panic Porn.
There are treatments for porn.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
Anything Tedros says is suspect because he owes Xi.
More cases does not mean a higher death rate.
Any person, who is at risk to Corona, because of diabetes or other things, is just as vulnerable to flu or other diseases.
More than 135,000 Americans have now been killed by the coronavirus. Public health experts predict that hundreds of thousands or more may die unless the Trump administration and Republican governors in states such as Florida and Texas radically alter their public health policies by mandating that masks be worn in public. In some places, lockdowns may need to be reinstated.
Instead, the Trump administration and its allies have decided that more people — including public school students, their teachers and their families — should fall ill and die as a means of creating a new "normal" where the disease is no longer viewed as an emergency. The evident goal is to sacrifice human beings for "capitalism" and "the economy" in order to salvage Donald Trump's re-election chances. This is the "economics of barbarism" in practice.
In total, the United States in the Age of Trump and the coronavirus pandemic is a global pariah.
HE PERPETUAL PANDEMIC: America is being prodded to return to normal amid worrying signs. Stop me if that sounds familiar. But once again, President Trump and his administration are aggressively pushing to reopen parts of the country (this time, schools and college campuses) as the pandemic continues to grow here at home.
The novel coronavirus's U.S. story now almost seems like a fait accompli. New debates rage, hot spots emerge, experts get undermined and all the while cases rise as many of us work from home and wait for a vaccine.
Where we're at: “The U.S. outbreak is growing across 37 states. More than 60,000 new cases were announced on Saturday, more than any day of the pandemic except Friday, when the country recorded more than 68,000 — setting a single-day record for the seventh time in 11 days,” the New York Times reports.
Florida is setting records: “Florida on Sunday reported a record 15,300 new cases, the most by any state in a single day and a bleak sign of the United States’s failure to control the pandemic about six months after the first infection surfaced in the country," my colleagues Derek Hawkins, Felicia Sonmez, Laura Meckler and Marisa Iati report.
Uh-oh: “With Florida largely open for business, I don’t expect this surge to slow,” wrote Natalie E. Dean, an assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Florida.
Weren't we good on testing? Not so much: “Test results for the novel coronavirus are taking so long to come back that experts say the results across the United States are often proving useless in the campaign to control the deadly disease,” my colleagues Rachel Weiner, William Wan and Abigail Hauslohner report.
“Some testing sites are struggling to provide results in five to seven days. Others are taking even longer. Outbreaks across the Sun Belt have strained labs beyond capacity. That rising demand, in turn, has caused shortages of swabs, chemical reagents and equipment as far away as New York,” they add.
Key quote: “Instead of going from one step to the next, it’s like you’re already stumbling right out of the gate,” Crystal R. Watson, a public health expert at Johns Hopkins University told my colleagues. “It makes contact tracing almost useless. By the time a person is getting results, they already have symptoms, their contacts may already have symptoms and have gone on to infect others."

More copying and pasting by a person with no genius.
I would bet the non-genius, has not looked at the constituent parts of the virus, its proteins & enzymes, and compare them to rhinovirus or influenza virus.
The non-genius has no clue as to the size of the virus in kilobases.
In short the non-genius cannot come up to an independent check on whatever it is being fed by a dishonest media.
Who cares what that dirty looking Chinese puppet says? He should shut his corrupt and filthy mouth!
to the poster above, frankly, the economy- giving the people the means to feed their families and keep their jobs, is more important than saving the lives of senors who will dies soon anyway. If this were not so, the nation would be permanently locked down to prevent the spread of any communicable disease. It's of critical importance that the people be allowed to work and support themselves, otherwise the nation will continue to fall into riots, chaos, etc.
Good stuff, they need us to fear and go back to our homes. Too much good stuff happening. Argh!
badmouthing the copy/paste guy and adding nothing worthwhile makes you even a lower form of life than the person you dump on. try something of your own for a change
