Geneva: A "tsunami" of Omicron and Delta Covid-19 cases will pile pressure on health systems already being stretched to their limits, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday.

The WHO said the Delta and Omicron variants of concern were "twin threats" that were driving new case numbers to record highs, leading to spikes in hospitalisations and deaths.

"I am highly concerned that Omicron, being more transmissible, circulating at the same time as Delta, is leading to a tsunami of cases," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference.

"This is and will continue to put immense pressure on exhausted health workers, and health systems on the brink of collapse."

A society that allows the care givers to make all the decisions will most certainly perish.

The warriors and builders must take charge again.

Almost like a plan...

Someday I wish to attend hyperbole school

[Darksheare]

Whirled Heath Organizat going on again about how we’re all gonna die?
Must be Wednesday.

Personally I think people are over the screamy meemies.

[RatRipper]

Yeah, get a Masters in Eeyore and a Phd in Hyperbole . . . that’s the ticket!!!!!

[BipolarBob]

Just watch MSM news. They give lessons in it everyday.

If that's true then it's time to start allowing the use of effective, inexpensive therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and to send all existing stocks of mRNA injections to the incinerator.

"Let's go Brandon".
"Let's go Fauci".

That’s OK. “Hero” nurses will do more lip synch videos at the White House to boost morale.

[BenLurkin]

Why would you want warriors in charge?

[Diogenesis]

a “society” that allows BIOWEAPONS to be made
by the CDC, Xi and FauXi,
and then MANDATED
into babies, and pregnant women, the military, LEO, etc.
has chosen poorly.

it will be replaced.

Now a covid tsunami.

*sigh*

Just stop it. Nobody believes you anymore.

W.H.O. is in PANIC!

They know that with omigodcron doubling just about daily, with mild to no symptoms, their narrative closes soon. Therefore, they gotta ramp up RIGHT NOW the sky falling, the hospitals overwhelmed, masks everywhere, pushing jabs, lockdowns, passports.

That’s OK. “Hero” nurses will do more lip synch videos at the White House to boost morale.

Those were nurses who obeyed the mandates.

The nurses who worked overtime since Feb 2020 but objected to shot mandates are fired and no longer "heros." That, is outrageous...same with all the former "hero" grocery store workers, people who stock shelves, and truckers who kept America rolling but were kicked to the curb for not getting shots.

"Heroism" is now a function of obedience. And....

Common Cold Covid "Tsunami" Will Drive Health Systems Towards Collapse: WHO

Corrected headline.

[drypowder]

Reminder: Obamacare would have allowed its Death Panels to cut off medical treatment to whom ever they chose to let die from the China virus. Wondering if a pandemic was discussed in the Obamacare’s organizers conversations back in the 2012 era?

[Mariner]

think metaphorically

Covid “Tsunami” Will Drive Health Systems Towards Collapse...

That’s probably the Liberal end-run on health care in the US.

I guess the ACA didn’t “F” up the country ENOUGH for them
