WHO says coronavirus pandemic far from over as world sees largest daily increase

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization’s director, said on Monday that there should be no sense of complacency amid the coronavirus outbreak and supported his claim by pointing out that there were 136,000 new cases on Sunday, the most so far.

“More than six months into the pandemic, this is not the time for any country to take its foot off the pedal,” he said, according to Reuters. The report pointed out that most of the cases were from South Asia and the Americas.

Health officials in the U.S. fear an increase in cases due to the recent unrest over the death of George Floyd in police custody. It was recently revealed that a protester in Kansas was diagnosed with the coronavirus shortly after taking part in a protest in the city of Lawrence. Health officials there warned those protesters who may have been at the rally to self-monitor. The person was not wearing a mask.

The WHO also revealed on Monday that the spread of coronavirus by those without symptoms appears to be rare.

In the US it is rising in zip codes that are leading officials to believe it was spread during protests. Governors of CA and NY and elsewhere are recommending protesters get tested. If you don't want to get tested then be considerate of others and quarantine yourself Don't think you were protected because you wore a mask. Many who are testing positive have worn masks and did at least try to practice the 6ft recommendation

I heard an infant and a 103 year old person were admitted over night in Wicomico for Covid. Pray for Them and their families. it' has to be especially hard not being able to visit them. Yes yes yes if you protested please please quarantine at the least.

It's over. All the LIES and doomsday narrative are done. Everything that was put out about deaths, economy, and existence was WRONG. So please STFU and let get back to living.

Gotta keep those masks on, so we can continue to riot unrecognized and with impunity!

Shocker...locally I have observed (on my very limited trips to the supermarket only) that the vast majority of people are pretty oblivious to their distancing. I won't be surprised if the local numbers get much higher.

All this crap will be over if the Democrats steal the elections.

Sorry, but the WHO is no longer to be believed. They lied to the whole world to protect China
My mask is in the trash.

Who is a communist lying organization. I don't know anybody with vivid. I don't know anybody who knows anybody with covid. It is a cold. The hospitals played into it because they make more money calling it covid than they do a cold or the flu.

I discovered the CDC and WHO are not to be trusted and don't know what they are talking about a few years ago researching something. The worse part is most, if not all, doctors have to go along with what they say or risk losing their license.
