World Health Organisations (WHO), however, cautioned that the number of cases was low as there was a drop in the testing rate globally.
At the peak of this pandemic, the highest week ever in this pandemic was around 110,000 deaths and that was considered to be the most awful week in the pandemic.
We’re at 75,000. It’s not a whole long way from there, WHO officials said. “So, we’re seeing the number of cases appearing to fall away and yet the number of deaths is increasing and when you see that trend epidemiologically, you then ask yourself the question, is that real?
How could the deaths be going up and the number of cases is coming down?" said WHO's Mike Ryan. Now, it could be that the deaths we’re seeing now are a lag from a few weeks ago and that’s one explanation.
