France 24: Covid-19 pandemic accelerating and global peak still to come, WHO says
Some 400,000 new cases of Covid-19 were reported over the weekend and the new coronavirus pandemic shows no sign of slowing down, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.
"The outbreak is accelerating and we've clearly not reached the peak of the pandemic," WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a virtual press conference.
The World Health Organization also acknowledged Tuesday that there was "emerging evidence" on airborne transmission of the new coronavirus, after an international group of scientists said it could spread far beyond two metres.

ReplyDeleteNo big deal.

ReplyDeleteExactly. But your not supposed to know that. It interferes with the Democrat Shut Down/Economic Destruction path to political victory.
What anon 2:56 and Russ said. It's hard to fathom that destroying the economy and wrecking lives could be a path towards electoral victory but it seems this may be the case.
ReplyDeleteCases are up. Of course they are. Testing and contact tracing are up exponentially so we'd expect this or we should. Hospitalizations are uncomfortably high in some areas which is a cause for concern.
The fearmonger in chief
ReplyDeleteTaking his talking points from China
Can't wait to see him in prison
Remember when the Chinese broadcasted images of hords of people spraying streets to "disinfect" them?
Remember these trucks with spray canons?
That was all show to scare the world into lockdown and ruin our economies as part of their Fail Forward strategy
People will wake up and the bill for trillions and trillions on top of the previously owed trillions for patent and IP theft will come.
China is bankrupt and only stays afloat credibly because we believe in it and were made dependent on them when they ruined all our economies.
