It should to be said more often: Huge thanks to KTG for providing the numbers in detail every day! Big respect!
I am wondering every day about media reporting “today just 1449 cases/ cases decreased to 1449” – bullshit, this says nothing! With your effort of providing the necessary numbers i can interpret/crunch them and get a personal idea about what is going on.
Big thanks for that!
feedback much appreciated
Once again, you beat Ekatimerini! Thank you for your hard work with the statistics! Odd, it does not seem to matter if you are in “lockdown” or not but who knows what the figures would be otherwise…. Or does people just dont care anymore? Pandemia-fatigue??
