In For The Long Haul
Winter will be tough, spring might bring ease
The countries that have reduced their restrictions prematurely without enough protection through the vaccine, are now paying their price. This includes Britain and the Netherlands, who join the USA, with governors who declare their states Covid-free, whose numbers have never been low enough throughout the pandemic.
Tunisia's vaccination fatigue is becoming manifest in a slowdown of the, still impressive, decline of the ICU and death numbers.
France has passed Germany in all parameters and, potentially owing to a better vaccination rate, has a better outlook for early 2022 than the teutonic neighbour.
How much the rising numbers are going to affect the vaccinated population remains to be seen.
