Même si la situation épidémiologique s’améliore, même si les masques vont bientôt tomber à l’école secondaire, même si les karaokés vont reprendre du service… ça n’est pas fini. Pas encore.

U.S. Just Surpassed 750,000 Covid Fatalities — And Thousands Are Still Dying Per Week

The United States has recorded an average of 1,200 deaths per day since the first coronavirus fatality was reported in early 2020.

The United States’ coronavirus death toll topped 750,000 on Wednesday, an average of around 1,200 lost lives per day since the deadliest pandemic in American history began last year — and the country logged more than 8,500 new deaths in the last week.

It's incredible, but true!!

From pandemic to endemic: Global experts seeing ‘gradual evolution’ of COVID-19 - National | Globalnews.ca

Global experts are expressing increasing confidence that many countries will have put the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic behind them in the coming year.

globalnews.ca

As the devastating Delta variant surge eases in many regions of the world, scientists are charting when, and where, COVID-19 will transition to an endemic disease in 2022 and beyond, according to Reuters interviews with over a dozen leading disease experts.

They expect that the first countries to emerge from the pandemic will have had some combination of high rates of vaccination and natural immunity among people who were infected with the coronavirus, such as the United States, the UK, Portugal and India.

But they warn that SARS-CoV-2 remains an unpredictable virus that is mutating as it spreads through unvaccinated populations.

Toujours important de regarder chez nous......les cas positifs demeurent RALATIVEMENT élevé entre 500--600 ces dernières semaines MAIS les hospitalisations se maintiennent autour de 240--250....ce qui est encourageant et surtout démontre que LA VACCINATION

FONCTIONNE/produit ses effets... .

At a press conference WHO Europe head Hans Kluge said the continent could see half a million more deaths by February.
He blamed insufficient vaccine take-up for the rise.

"We must change our tactics, from reacting to surges of Covid-19 to preventing them from happening in the first place," he said.

The rate of vaccination has slowed across the continent in recent months. While some 80% of people in Spain are double jabbed, in Germany it is as low as 66% - and far lower in some Eastern European countries. Only 32% of Russians were fully vaccinated by October 2021.

Mr Kluge also blamed a relaxation of public health measures for rising infections in the WHO's European region, which covers 53 countries including parts of Central Asia. So far the WHO has recorded 1.4 million deaths across the region.

The WHO's technical lead on Covid-19, Maria Van Kerkhove, said over the past four weeks cases across Europe had soared over 55%, despite an "ample supply of vaccines and tools", and colleague Dr Mike Ryan said Europe's experience was a "warning shot for the world".

I have always had this paranoid perception that we are being "gamed" with covid-lockdowns-vaccines.
Article from Bloomberg does not help.
It sure is a shallow article not saying much for something so significant.

The short answer is 149 deaths by day on a 7 days average. Those are not statictic, THEY ARE HUMAN BEING.

Why ask the question when it is so easy to find the answer on google using 4 easy words. DAILY MORTALITY COVID GERMANY
Those deaths were preventable as most of them are mostly unvaccinated people.
But Some don't care about the truth, prefer to stay in their echo chamber, listening to themselves Grow up! Learn from others than people having the same believing as you.

Once a population is fully vaccinated, then infection is what you want. It is the ideal way to build immunity, according to epidemiologists. Vaccinations mostly protect the worst from happening so the outcome is just a mild flu, not hospitalization/organ damage/death.

That's what happening in Singapore now. In 2020, they had a zero-covid policy - anyone who was infected didn't even get to go home, they were isolated in hospitals until the virus cleared. Lockdowns were severe. All contacts were rigorously traced and they even enlisted the help of the police to track down possible contacts. Result: their deaths per million is 1/8 of Canada's.

But now, a solid 90% of their eligible population is vaxxed so they're allowing infection to spread. No more contact tracing. 3,000 cases daily in 2021 vs 10+ cases in 2020. They still have anti covid measures in place to slow down pace of infection.

But essentially, this is what other countries will be doing in the next 1 or 2 years.

Pressure on Dutch hospitals mounts as COVID cases break records

Dutch hospitals are feeling the strain from a surge in COVID-19 patients but the worst has yet to come, the head of the country's hospital association said on Monday.

www.reuters.com

AMSTERDAM, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Dutch hospitals are feeling the strain from a surge in COVID-19 patients but the worst has yet to come, the head of the country's hospital association said on Monday.

The number of COVID-19 patients in Dutch hospitals increased to around 2,000 on Monday, including almost 400 in intensive care, reaching the highest level since May.
With almost 250 new admissions every day, the hospitals are set to pass last winter's peak of around 2,800 coronavirus patients in little over a week, the LNAZ association’s head, Ernst Kuipers, told lawmakers.

"We haven't seen the peak yet, numbers will continue to rise," Kuipers said.

Hospitals throughout the country have been scaling back regular care for weeks in order to deal with urgent COVID-19 patients.

Hospitals in the southern province of Limburg, one of the worst-hit regions, last week even said they had no space or staff to handle more coronavirus patients.

Because there were no more sanitary restrictions.

It was as if there was no more covid.

COVID cases continue to climb, now up 22% globally and 16% in the United States with an uncertain future trajectory.

This is borne out by the relatively high proportion of deaths to apparent cases in the US. Germany, Austria and the Netherlands are seeing worrying rises in cases and deaths.

Indeed Gaby.

Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg has said the country will go into a national lockdown to contain a fourth wave of coronavirus cases.

The national shutdown will come into force on Monday, and the whole of the country’s population will also be required to get vaccinated against the disease by February.

Austria introduced a lockdown for all those who were unvaccinated on Monday but since then infections have continued to set new records.

Germany’s health minister Jens Spahn said a lockdown could not be ruled out for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
