what's the trend?

In the US, it's bad, though in last 2 weeks the cases/deaths are going down.... Still, 25+ million infected and 420,000 dead. To those who still think it's a hoax: Yeah, you're so smart! You figured it out that the gov is paying actors to fill hospitals to capacity, and record fake deaths. Maybe evolution is a made-up theory too, because... how is it so many stupid people have survived? right?

NYT data

[Antaeus7]

4 nations have began updating COVID recoveries today 
Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Sweden.
Ireland and Cyprus recently starting updating theirs just days ago. 
Our worldwide active cases has dropped down to 17.9 million.

Greece surpassed 10,000 COVID deaths in the country. The situation is still in bad shape. 

[Dutch Eagle]

With 10,847 deaths on a population of 10,72 million Greece has surpassed the point of 1 death per 1,000 inhabitants. Greece is the 39rd country in the World to reach that sad point.

So, once upon a time, and for 99% of the humanity's experience, there were many diseases that would maim and kill, from little children to grown adults. Those natural afflictions were equal-opportunity enemies of health. Rich & powerful people would have their children die too. FD Roosevelt got polio in his 30s and was an invalid for the rest of his life.

Then we were given a choice by modern medicine: vaccines. What we found out is that vaccines, and modern medicine, have vastly improved human health, longevity, and happiness. Life span alone (on the average) doubled within 100 years.

On the other hand, you can choose conspiracy theories, misinformation, and wilful ignorance..... which is pretty much how most people lived their lives for ever. But, they took risks, and sometimes were rewarded for taking a chance. Or, when they figured out that every action, every tool, every food, etc, had some risk but they weighed that against benefit. 

Today, we still take calculated risks, but some of us don't understand ..statistics. Like the chance of dying in an automobile crash is much higher than getting the COVID19 vaccine, while the effects of the virus are much more likely to be harmful. Yet....

 

By the way, even though it's effective, I think it's disgusting that we have to bribe people into doing the right thing for themselves and for the community.

UK are releasing all covid measures by the end of the month. seems a bit premature as they said london was a ghost town over xmas because it was almost impossible to go to the city and not catch it!

The real reason is so the public forgets about all the parties that were held in parliament, while the simple folk were unable to see anybody.

That being said, it is all a money-making scam anyway.
