The number of new coronavirus cases around the globe has almost doubled over the past two months, an alarming increase that the World Health Organization said Friday was nearing the pandemics peak infection rate.

Around the world, covid-19 cases and deaths are continuing to increase at worrying rates, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a briefing Friday.

This is approaching the highest rate of infection that we have seen so far during the pandemic, he said. Some countries that had previously avoided widespread covid-19 transmission are now seeing steep increases in infections

4th variant and pandemic fatigue is a deadly combo.

A lot of people got vaccinated and think that that will 100% protect them and others.

So at what point do we say fuck it and accept the end of humanity? Will you go on for another full year like the past year?

Worth noting that not all countries have high vaccination rates and not all countries are using actual good vaccines.

it will be an annual thing because the active cases is most likely never going to be 0. The people at my work who tested positive last year already had to start getting tested again.

Misleading use of statistics to manipulate a headline. It was at like a million more cases/day 4 months ago. So well over double. Although it's on a legit upward global trend atm

That herd immunity should kick in any day now.

It's a coronavirus, so it's mutated about a trillion times between that post and this one.

It's almost like pausing J&J instead of putting obvious disclaimers on it was an unwise idea.

I was just remembering the good old days when most people said it every single day.

Any vaccine has a non-zero risk of causing clots. That's just a part of the immune response mechanism.

I dont think something from 3 days ago caused the increase.

They say the vaccine is only good for six months and its harder to get than a PS5.

I hear more of a collective "fuck it. If the safety protocols and maks won't go away and we need regular boosters, there's no going back to normal. May as well start taking our chances instead of pretending we're slowing or stopping anything in the long term."
