Fresh waves of COVID-19 infections show the pandemic is "nowhere near over", the World Health Organization's chief warned Tuesday (Jul 12), voicing concern the virus is "running freely".
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was worried that case numbers were continuing to rise, putting further pressure on stretched health systems and workers.
"New waves of the virus demonstrate again that COVID-19 is nowhere near over," he told a news conference, adding: "As the virus pushes at us, we must push back."

Here in North Idaho, it looks like maybe 2% are still wearing masks...even in the great outdoors with lots of fresh air, breezes and brilliant sunshine. It’s a big mystery.
It’s over when the people say it is and stop listening. We’re already there and have been for a while.
We listened, we complied, some took your shots and then they died. No more. At this point, I’d rather live my life along with everyone else and if I die, so be it. If I’m so ‘selfish’ then realize I am the majority, if you’re so scared, stay home.
If you mean with their βvaccineβ, you may be right. It doesn’t seem that it will be the disease. At least not this one.
Nowhere near over = Still some political juice to squeeze.
COVID-19(2023)!!!!
YIPPEE!!!!!
πππππππ
π·π·π·π·π·π·π·
(Of course itβs not over, there are upcoming elections to manipulate)
Careful! You could wind up on the tinfoil nut-job conspiracy ping list!!
Oops I night have got that wrong....
Only if he threatens to report me to the Mods if I don't add him.
But did I get “tinfoil” in the right place?
I’m still new to the list! π
But of course they’ll say that. The entire UN is full of whack jobs delegates here from dirt poor countries walking around in $5,000 suits, wearing $50,000 watches. I spent a day there with a friend who worked there. Many years ago, and I walked in feeling privileged, walked out thinking they should be shut down.
Beautiful building would make wonderful condos. Next to a Trump building, Donald would know what to do with it.
April 6th this year was 4th jab of 2nd booster.
It won’t happen. 260 million Americans chose to get the experimental vaccine. Less than 1/8th of that are unvaxxed Americans. You are in the minority with no clout.
In comparison president Trump received about 70 Million votes in 2020.
Hey metal how are you doing? I am keeping excellent health. Getting ready to go to gym (5 times every week).
It lasted about 10 minutes for me. Distant memory 2+ years ago. Trying to forget that political nightmare.
Ooh, the Urban Sombrero(tm) !!!!
good for you...
doing great here...
i get my exercise working in my automotive restoration shop everyday... π
But then politicians and economic interests distort the issue for their own advantage when federal and even state laws and regulations are created.
Government is beholden to those that have the money to pay for campaigns, lawyers, lobbyists, speeches, who own the media... Government only truly represents "the mom and pop shop" Biden likes to speak of so often when it is small. Government in reality represents the big interests and that is why Home Depot and Lowes could stay open during Covid (in Texas at least), but Juan and his taco shop had to close. Biden talks about the small guy, but as he drops trade restrictions with China (who helped him and his party a lot) he really represents who? Amazon, Walmart, MS, Apple, GM HP, Dell, China... What you end up with is a dysfunctional mess that in reality only serves someone to gain power (Covid - election year politics) and makes people billions (Pfizer and Moderna). But what did the CDC and NIH really achieve? They tell us stories about how they prevented the apocalypse, we make movies about that (we always win in our movies), but what did they really accomplish when compared to nations that did nearly nothing? Climate change, the ozone hole, war on drugs, war on terror... all of them!
It's a comedy show where the results and mess created should tell people that we need limited government, that this stupidity does not work and if we keep going this way, we'll soon choke in our own bureaucracy may that be our freedom or economy.
An eternal war on drugs which has brought nothing other than the DEA giving us a padded book of βresultsβ but we are at exactly the same point where we started 49 years ago.
A TSA that has not caught a single terrorist since its inception, and provides this service for the small cost of $9 billion per year (and that was about 3 years ago) to the tax payer while conducting warrantless searches of my person and affects.
This nation was based on the concept of limited government and decentralization, of citizens having certain "unalienable" (i.e. cannot be taken away) rights.
The US Constitution (something few sworn to uphold it have even read or conceptually could tell you what it means: ask any federal agent to tell you what the bill of rights are 1-10) has become meaningless.
Today, government has learned to sell themselves, and may it be to save the planet, climate, national security (terrorists or a nation state), some animal, plant, saving the children, or even moral decency, government is always there offering a solution, both to the right and the left, for a small price of course (money and freedom).
Both sides of the political spectrum are to blame.
Both are eager to use federal powers, grow government in budget, manpower and authority when it serves their agenda, may that be an Obama or a Bush.
It's time to get back to basics.
