"It is therefore with great hope that I declare #COVID19 over as a global health emergency.
However, that does not mean COVID-19 is over as a global health threat.
Last week, COVID-19 claimed a life every three minutes – and that’s just the deaths we know about"-@DrTedros

COVID-19 cases are rising and winter is drawing closer.
1) If you have not been vaccinated, now is the time.
2) If you are offered a booster please take up the offer.
3) Ventilation, masks in crowded indoor spaces and hand washing remain important.

"There were too many cases to count." The experience of fighting a pandemic with an underfunded and understaffed public health infrastructure is ugly.
We have valorized the medical professionals facing the COVID onslaught. But your local public health officials are heroes too.
NEW INVESTIGATION: A six-month probe by POLITICO found the U.S. could not adequately contain Covid-19 because state public health departments relied on outdated data systems and struggled to staff enough people to investigate and isolate positive cases.
