Covid-19 global health emergency is over, more than three years after being declared - WHO says

:mission-accomplished-1::mission-accomplished-2:

Officials said the virus' death rate had dropped from a peak of more than 100,000 people per week in January 2021 to just over 3,500 on 24 April.

:brump: When you do testing to that extent, you’re gonna find more people you’re gonna find more cases. So I said to my people slow the testing down, please

    From the WHO

    "The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that #COVID19 is nothing to worry about"-@DrTedros

    This will not be in any news article

      Hmm if only the WHO had some sort of mechanism to indicate that #COVID19 is something to worry about.

      Ooh I’ve got an idea, since they’re the “world health organization” how about we give them the ability to declare like, a “world health emergency”. Eh that doesn’t roll off the tongue well, how about a “global health emergency,” yeah that’s better

      Link? I don't see it.

      EDIT: Found it, I was looking at Tedros' personal twitter for some reason lol.
