"When we reach 60-70% vaccination everything will go back to normal", they said a year ago.  What's happening in Western Europe is giving even more fuel to people here, that there is no point. Not that they are throwing themselves for vaccines in the first place.

Gibraltar  is pretty much at 100% vaccination - they’ve got an outbreak.

AstraZeneca in particular wears off pretty fast. The booster jabs seem to work very well through.

Why do western countries struggle too much when it comes to this, thousands of cases every day (even reaching a hundred thousand per day in usa)? This is like the 4th wave already? Is the health care system not efficient there or something?

Because they count them, unlike others.

I think there are many reasons why western countries MIGHT be doing worse than asian countries, for example:

- More densely populated

- More travelling

- Older population

- Lower vaccination rate?

- More people using public transport every day?

- More averse to wearing masks?

 

Of course there are also western countries (New Zealand, Australia, some scandinavian countries?) that are doing at least as good as asian countries.

Right now we are averaging at hundred cases a day and our airports are open again. Some tourists might bring it here and cause another surge in our cases.
