It would take 10 seconds for the cartographers, analysts to change and update the legend (key) on the maps in GIS to give the Greek citizen and other readers a more coherent picture…
Looks like all Europe, rocket grow of new cases, less deaths, less people intubated. I see it as good news if other figures gets down same time.
Well, since the cases are highly concentrated in Attica and Macedonia, these two units should be in lockdown, with no one allowed to go in or out of these units for 2 weeks, that should help the numbers decrease nationwide, unless of course Omicron is mild enough to allow it to circulate and achieve mass immunity in a matter of months, in which case we should allow it to circulate and concentrate in treating the patients who develop serious symptoms. It seems were are witnessing the beginning of the end of this pandemic.
2 weeks without food, you mean, is a good start to lose extra pounds from Xmas eating?
