COVID-19 falls out of world's top 10 causes of death
Original: Health Policy Watch | COVID-19 drops out of world’s top 10 causes of death for first time since pandemic began
COVID-19 has dropped out of the world's top 10 causes of death for the first time since the pandemic began, according to reporting by Health Policy Watch. The shift reflects the sharp decline in deaths from the virus as immunity from vaccination and prior infection has grown and severe outcomes have fallen. Health observers are citing the milestone as a sign the pandemic has entered a less lethal phase, though the virus continues to circulate and cause deaths worldwide.
Why now: It marks a major milestone in the pandemic's decline and the virus's reduced global death toll.
