?w=600&h=420It took over 3 months for world to record 1 million COVID-19 infections-but last million took 8 days
It took more than three months for the world to see one million virus infections, but the latest one million cases have come in just eight days, Tedros said on Monday during a video conference for the Dubai-based World Government Summit.
He said the world recorded more than 183,000 new coronavirus cases on Sunday alone, the most in a single day since the outbreak started in December.
"Certainly the numbers are increasing because the epidemic is developing in a number of populous countries at the same time and across the whole world," WHO's top emergencies expert, Mike Ryan, said.
"Some of that increase may be attributed to increased testing ... And certainly countries like India are testing more. But we do not believe that this is a testing phenomenon."

Vanity Fair: "BRAD REALLY S--T THE BED SATURDAY NIGHT"
: AFTER TULSA CATASTROPHE, PARSCALEAND KUSHNERIS AT THE TOP OF TRUMPS HIT LIST
Trump is pondering putting Kushner antagonists atop the campaignWe cant allow Jareds stupid disagreements to get in the way, he saidbut the problem is likely at the top.
BY GABRIEL SHERMAN
JUNE 22, 2020
Donald Trumps exhausted trudge from Marine One toward the White House after his botched rally in Tulsa, his red tie undone, a grim look on his face, a crumpled MAGA hat in his hand, is now an iconic image of his presidency. And as always with Trump, hes already looking for someone to blame. The most obvious candidate, according to sources, is his embattled campaign manager, Brad Parscale. Brad really shit the bed Saturday night. You have to remember, execution is 95% of presidential politics, a Republican close to the White House told me over the weekend. Parscale committed a cascade of errors, from overhyping expected turnout to blaming the half-filled arena on protesters. Trump was so furious when he saw how thin the crowd was that he threatened to not go onstage, two sources briefed on the discussions told me. The sources said that Parscale, reading the tea leaves, is planning to step down. He knows he cant survive, one source told me.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said Parscale is safe. Brad is the campaign manager, and hes the one in charge, Miller said.
But one thing is for sure: The blame game has shifted into high gear. Trump insiders told me Trump was presented with five options of where to hold his rally. The president chose Tulsa, a source said. Sources also told me that if Parscale is forced out, he likely wont be the only casualty of the rally fiasco. Trump is debating revoking his son-in-law Jared Kushners control over the campaign, sources said. As I previously reported, Trump has been frustrated with Kushners oversight of the campaign in light of polling that consistently shows Trump losing to Joe Biden. Another source of friction has been campaign spending and reports Trump has gotten that Parscale is making millions of dollars. Did Jared allow this? Trump asked advisers recently, according to a source. (Kushner declined to comment.)
One way to measure Kushners diminished influence will be found in whom Trump would choose to replace Parscale. Top candidates include 2016 veterans Miller, David Bossie, and Corey Lewandowski, all of whom Kushner successfully kept on the outer fringe of Trumpworld. We cant allow Jareds stupid disagreements to get in the way, Trump recently told advisers, according to a source briefed on the conversation.
Other Trump insiders are skeptical that Lewandowski would be put in charge of such a vast operation. Corey was great when it was just Trump and an airplane. But lets face it, he couldnt manage a 7-Eleven, a person close to Trump said. The serious operation will be run by serious people.
