The number of cases is growing in the United States, Latin America, Australia and India. Omicron dominates everywhere.
The Indian authorities said that due to almost one hundred percent vaccination of the population, some parts of the country reached a plateau. Despite this, the number of cases is still rising. Doctors suspect: this may be due to the new version of “omicron”. It is less noticeable, but also insidious, which means it’s too early to relax. Strict rules are in force, vaccination is recommended for everyone.
The same, only in a different tone, is demanded in Germany. But people are reluctant to trust politicians, and there are reasons for this. Earlier, the Bundestag shortened the validity of illness certificates and vaccination certificates. It was six months, now it’s only three months. Later it turned out that everyone is equal before covid, but some are more equal, for example, deputies. The validity period of their covid documents has not changed. After all, they have a mandate.
There are many scandals in Germany and on the basis of statistics. Doctors say that some patients end up in hospitals with completely different diagnoses – fractures, a heart attack, and later it turns out that they have a coronavirus. And if you believe the investigations of journalists, no one writes down such people as covid. The day before, the Robert Koch Institute officially abandoned its claims to an accurate record of coronavirus cases in the country. And this means that the important statistics that the institute has previously announced are losing their reliability.
The chancellor, the majority of the ruling party and, of course, the Minister of Health vote for mandatory vaccination in the country. But he, too, was at the center of the accusations. According to local media reports, another commission check at the Ministry of Health saw the waste of almost one hundred million euros. Lauterbach received a large amount from the government for masks for doctors. But, as the audit showed, the money went somewhere in the wrong place. However, while the investigation is ongoing, the accusations are unofficial. The minister hastens to justify himself by painting a positive picture in the country.
“I am sure that we manage to control a new wave of coronavirus. We have everything under control, we predict the consequences. And this was our goal. Very soon, I promise you, we will cope with everything. The number of deaths will be less. We will minimize them ” said Health Minister Karl Lauterbach.
A high-profile scandal involving the government is also being investigated in Britain. Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the epicenter and his party in the midst of a pandemic. Society demands the resignation of the prime minister. To appease the British, the authorities are lifting some of the restrictions. In Britain, you can now go without masks to restaurants and clubs. Employees are returning to offices from a remote location.
Remove some of the restrictions in Spain. Despite the increase in cases, people no longer need covid passports to go to a restaurant or gym. You can get together in large groups. However, nightclubs will remain closed for the time being. Local authorities say that covid will stay with us for a long time, we need to get used to it. It is better for the population to be vaccinated. And do not blindly believe everything that is written on the Internet about the vaccine and covid. Official data – only doctors and scientists.
The Vatican calls for the same. The day before, Pope Francis addressed the people, publicly criticizing misinformation about vaccination: “These days, in addition to the pandemic, we see an infodemic. A total distortion of reality based on fear. All this comes from the Internet and some newspapers. Lies, strange comments, falsification of scientific facts. Not believe it. And get vaccinated.”
But in the Philippines, the majority have been vaccinated against the coronavirus. From February 1, the country opens entry for all vaccinated tourists. You must have a certificate confirming full vaccination against coronavirus with a drug recognized by the local regulator or WHO. In the capital of the Philippines, you can even get vaccinated at the zoo. Well, after a walk and look at the animals, and for free, a bonus.
