World Health Organization chief says virus outbreak is "accelerating"

The director-general of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said Tuesday the coronavirus outbreak is "accelerating, and we have clearly not reached the peak of the pandemic."

"More than six months in, the case for national unity and global solidarity is undeniable," he said at a WHO briefing Tuesday. "We cannot afford any divisions."

Tedros stressed that while global deaths have leveled off, many countries are actually seeing cases and deaths rise.

Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program, said there are several possible explanations for a global death decline. One explanation, he said, could simply be that there's a lag, and we may see deaths rise again.

the mortality rate was extremely high. Also, they are flat out lying. You can look at the normal death rate for this time of year and how many deaths there have been. The number of reported covid deaths don’t make up the difference. There’s been an incredible increase in pneumonia deaths.
