Six months. That's all it took for a new virus to circle the globe and infect more than 10 million people, including 2.5 million in the U.S.

"We all want this to be over. We all want to get on with our lives," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in his opening statement. "But the hard reality is: This is not even close to being over."

"I'm discouraged and demoralized," said Dr. Michael Saag, associate dean for global health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "When you compare our case numbers to almost any other industrialized country, we are getting clobbered."

Emphasis mine: But we're nowhere near some other industrialized nations in deaths per 100,000. That's not counting countries that are deliberately downplaying their deaths.

I'm about tired of these people using case counts alone. The virus is still a threat and we need to be vigilant, but going by case count alone is misleading.
