    Still is very bad in many western countries ; wave after wave we act to late … we do not learn. USA is even worse : decaying.
    We cherish individual rights ; with covid it’s at the expense of society.
    i see China, Australia and a few others doing much better, (because), they took stong mesures rapidly.
    i hope you well. Hopefully, it will be another one hundred years before the next pandemic.

      Australia is currently doing worse than the USA and has been for several weeks now, ever since January 4th. You might be thinking New Zealand.

          Not for long.

          The only area in which Australia is outdoing the USA at the moment is in vaccination proportions. But in behavioural terms, they lost their fucking minds in December and are reaping the expected results. All the work they put into keeping themselves safe (by western standards) blown in an orgy of selfish stupidity that shows no signs of ending.

            Let’s hope Omicron was the last & little (minimal) re-infection happens,
            take care

              While the rat-lickers in the western world continue to hold sway over politicians and policy, there will be more variants and more re-infections.
