A Covid Tsunami

World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned during a press conference Wednesday that the circulation of both the Omicron and Delta variants “is leading to a tsunami of cases,” Axios reports.

Said Tedros: “This virus will continue to evolve and threaten our health system if we do not improve the collective response.”

New York Times: “Across Europe, records for new coronavirus infections are falling by the day as the Omicron variant tears through populations with a swiftness outpacing anything witnessed over the past two years of the pandemic.”
