The World Health Organization's director-general recommended on Monday that people cancel or postpone their holiday events as the new Omicron variant drives a spike in COVID-19 cases.
"An event canceled is better than a life canceled," Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference.
He added: "It's better to cancel now and celebrate later, than to celebrate now and grieve later."
The director-general's comments come as the Omicron variant spreads across the world at a rapid pace, breaking records in several countries, Insider's Marianne Guenot previously reported.

Prolonging the Plannedemic Puritanism appears to be the goal.
If a second Thanksgiving, a second Christmas, a third Easter, and a third Independence Day can be squelched through fearmongering (if not outright government oppression) it may not be much longer before people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations, but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like.
This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.

Except there won’t be any celebrating later because this thing will never end.
