The pandemic is not over. Deaths due to Omicron are increasing for the fifth week in a row. More than 500,000 #SoulsLostToCovid in the past 5 weeks @mvankerkhove
"This virus continues to be dangerous. This virus transmits very efficiently between people, but there is a lot that you can do... We need to drive transmission down" @mvankerkhove
The World Health Organization is analyzing the decline slope of epidemic curves as a signal of Omicron reinfection with BA.2. However, it's still too early to know if people can become reinfected. @mvankerkhove
"We're not looking at revamping the strategy for COVID-19. What we're looking for is adjusting it... given the massive economic livelihood toll & human toll this pandemic has taken... 68K people died last week from COVID. They don't have the opportunity to move on" @mvankerkhove
Three layer high filtration masks are effective against preventing transmission of the Omicron Variant @mvankerkhove
COVID19 is a systemic disease @DrAbdiMahamud
100,000 Americans have died from COVID since Omicron was detected. In the last 24 hours 3,400 Americans have died from COVID. That's 18 Boeing 737 aircrafts crashing each day. Omicron is not mild @DrAbdiMahamud
