‘The end is in sight’: COVID-19 deaths at lowest levels since March 2020, WHO says
So now is the question - who do we all sue in order to get the last 2 years of our lives back?
The number of reported deaths worldwide from COVID-19 was the lowest last week since March 2020 – a positive sign that the end of the pandemic that has killed at least six million people is in view, the World Health Organization says.
Globally, the number of new weekly deaths decreased by 22 per cent the week of Sept. 5-11 compared to the previous week, with just under 11,000 fatalities reported, according to WHO data.

The number of new weekly cases also decreased by 28 per cent last week, with more than 3.1 million new cases reported.
While WHO cautions these case numbers are an “underestimate” due to testing strategies by many countries that result in lower overall detections, the current downward trends are cause for optimism.
“We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic. We're not there yet, but the end is in sight,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday during a briefing in Geneva.
However, now is not the time for countries to let their guard down, Tedros warned.
“A marathon runner does not stop when the finish line comes into view. She runs harder with all the energy she has left. So must we,” he said.
“We can see the finish line. We are in a winning position. But now is the worst time to stop running."
