"WHO Reports Potential Underestimation of Covid-19 Deaths by Threefold"
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has reported over 7 million recorded Covid-19 fatalities, but suggests the actual death toll may be closer to 21 million, with under-reporting and long-term impacts contributing to the discrepancy. Concerns about under-reporting of cases and deaths persist, complicating efforts to measure the true impact of the virus. Additionally, experts warn of a recent surge in infections and deaths, driven by factors such as waning immunity, emergence of new variants, and increased travel and gatherings. Long Covid remains a challenge, with ongoing research needed to understand and treat the condition.
