"Almost 10,000 people died from COVID-19 in December across approximately 50 countries – mostly Europe and the Americas – based on shared trend information, the World Health Organization said Wednesday, with hospital admissions jumping 42%.
"The head of the U.N. health agency said that the spike can be attributed to holiday gatherings and the spread of the latest COVID-19 variant.
"'Although COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency, the virus is still circulating and killing,' WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press conference at its headquarters in Geneva. 'Data from various sources indicate increasing transmission during December fueled by gatherings over the holiday period, and by the JN.1 variant, which is now the most commonly reported variant globally.'"

Sure sounds to me like it's still a global health emergency, even though they try their best to minimize the damage. They never seem to stop and think of the many health problems COVID patients are still suffering as a result of getting COVID in the first place. Instead of protecting themselves, the public has simply thrown caution to the wind.
