Europe facing 500,000 more Covid deaths by February, WHO warns

[Jeffr2]

Europe is facing a potentially devastating winter that could see half a million people die with Covid-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Thursday, as it sounded the alarm over a surge in cases and bemoaned stuttering vaccination rollouts on parts of the continent.

 

"We are at another critical point of pandemic resurgence," Kluge said. He blamed two factors for the new wave; the relaxation of Covid-19 measures, and a lack of vaccination coverage in the Balkans and towards the east of the continent.

 

"Hospitalization rates in countries with low vaccine uptake are markedly higher and rising more quickly than in those with higher uptake," he said.

 

Germany's health minister Jens Spahn on Wednesday warned that stricter measures are needed for those who refuse to get vaccinated.

From the article:

"Spahn said Germany was experiencing a "massive" pandemic of the unvaccinated, adding: "The truth is that there would be far fewer Covid-19 patients in [intensive care] if everyone who could do it got a vaccination.""

Some just read the headlines and make up their own story.  Shows why we're still in this mess.

There is a lot of distrust of the Government in the old Communist world, that certainly explains some of it. Wonder if there will be much appetite from those places for reimposing restrictions. Just reading about Romania, 37.5% vaxxed, 90% of 591 deaths yesterday unvaxxed. But apparently  anti vaxxer messaging is very effective. Some restrictions just imposed on the unvaxxed. Says it all really, now is not the time for pussyfooting around with morons.
