I agree! Your hard work with the statistics, KTG, has been unvaluable from abroad if you cant read greek. Thank you so much!

I used to visit the other site but since I’ve found this site, I never go back. You got the best Greek news site on the internet.
I’ve been tracking the infection rate in my own area for several months now using a spread sheet to calculate cases per 100,000 population in a 14 day period and plotting them on a graph so you get an immediate visual impression of what is happening. KTG has been my main source of data. Many thanks.
