Thank you so much, KTG, for taking time from your newyear-festivities to give us the distribution figures!
I wish you a Happy, Healthy and Lucky New Year 2022!
May this evil virus go to hell and stop haunting our beloved earth!
Yes, thank you for all your hard work in keeping us informed.
Let’s look forward to a better year and keep safe and well
🙂
I’ve been using your data to track the spread of the virus on Crete, where I live, and in each prefecture here, so I would like to add my thanks. It does seem to be having its own New Year celebration in the sense that case numbers in all four prefectures on Crete have been going up like a rocket since Christmas. I hope it burns itself out just as quickly.
yes, Crete is leading – and all other regions. awful.
Would like to add my thanks to ktg for all the hard work and honest reporting. I live in uk but like to follow Greek news and life as I live every summer in Greece.
Happy new year.
🙂
