The spread of Covid-19 is no longer a global public health emergency, the World Health Organization declared on Friday.
For more than a year, the pandemic has been on a downward trend with population immunity increasing from vaccination and infection, mortality decreasing, and the pressure on health systems easing, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference in Geneva.
This trend has allowed most countries to return to life as we knew it before Covid-19, Tedros said.
Its therefore with great hope that I declared Covid-19 over as a global health emergency, he said.
Nearly 7 million people have died from the virus worldwide since the WHO first declared the emergency on January 30, 2020, according to the U.N. organizations official data. Tedros said the the true death toll is at least 20 million.
The WHOs decision comes as the U.S. is set to end its national public health emergency on May 11.

who received at least one booster dose

check the articlei read it. it just doesn't sound like an answer.
edit: what's funny is that those stats were only in the article. so you clicked it. and read it. but stopped like two sentences too early. it's even called out with a ** next to the stats.
WHO declares they don't care about human life as long as righ people stay richi know you're trolling but some cemen actually think like this
Thats a relief, I havent heard of any new cases in my area.that's because news outlets have largely stopped reporting on it
That's not what this means.I know. My point doesn't change.
And thus the pandemic is over: it is endemic.biden said the pandemic was over months ago
i read it. it just doesn't sound like an answer.
"we have the numbers, but they're just small, so we're going to omit them"
id maybe get not putting them in the summary, but they arent even in the detailed section on page 9. same disclaimer.
why tell us to interpret them with caution when they aren't even in there?

Humanity as a whole already said they don't care.this is one instance in which I really think I need to read Manufacturing Consent
I haven't worn a mask in over 2 years here in Arizona. Glad to see WHO finally catch up to reality.Fun fact for the American: WHO is the World Health Organization, not Arizona aka bottom half of USA state population density Health Organization :D

I haven't worn a mask in over 2 years here in Arizona. Glad to see WHO finally catch up to reality.america isn't reality
Fun fact for the American: WHO is the World Health Organization, not Arizona aka bottom half of USA state population density Health Organization :Dit's not clear that population density actually has a significant effect on how well a given area dealt (and continues to deal) with covid
Because the general public has a really hard time understanding error estimates, really variability in general. If you give an estimate, but the error bounds suggests that it's roughly uninterpretable, what will appear in the news the next day is the estimate, not the error bounds.I get that, I do. But it just doesn't sound like a valid reason to straight up hide data.
WHO is the World Health Organization
biden said the pandemic was over months agoYes, and I said the same thing then.
Yes, and I said the same thing then.So the pandemic ended twice?
So the pandemic ended twice?No, but I was able to make a sarcastic comment twice at least.
