And ?

How many were seriously sick ?

How many died from corona ?

 

The obsession with case numbers grinds my gears.

And how many were unvaccinated (after vaccines were available) and how many were vaccinated and with what?

Do we really need to go into great details about this?

Given the exposure they must have had, it is no surprise.

If they are going to report information, then it would be nice if they would give us more facts.   I believe it was Indonesia that lost quite a few medical workers to Covid and vaccinated with Sinovac.  The report says the numbers are considered high, but doesn't complete the picture.
