The reason might be (rather surely is) another, new variant of virus...

And at this time the great progressive democratic USA is blocking commercial deals, not grants but commercial deals, that would supply India with raw materials for Vaccines. And that too for a AstraZeneca Vaccine that is not even approved in USA. But, as Dr. Fauci said It is in the interest of the world that USA is vaccinated first. 
 

Sab yaad rakha jayega.

Hungary still has the highest daily deaths per capita but the country couldn't take it anymore and at 35% vaccination the restaurants opened up for outdoor service and "everyone" went outside.

Feels a bit strange when a lot of people are still dying, but Orbán had to open things up as he needs to gain popularity. He posted a picture of him drinking a beer outside at a restaurant, it will probably be one of the most iconic pictures of Hungary's COVID crisis. It can be an important step for Orbán's reelection next year, he's sending the message that he defeated the COVID crisis, next will be the EURO2020 matches with a full stadium in Budapest.

Looks we are recovering here as well, pretty all shops, museums, Galleries etc... are open again, only restaurants are allowed to serve only in the terraces, otherwise you must take the food with you.

 

But the most important, from Tomorrow Spectators will be again allowed to return to the stadiums. with max. 25% of stadium capacity. Right in time for the hockey league finale starting on Thursday.

We in Scotland are also being allowed out into the prison yard for exercise.  Was at the pool today and an alcohol-free cafe for lunch.

We are opening up. Now that 40% of the population is vaccinated, for the first time in many months people can attend various sport events, like football matches, if they have been vaccinated.

Keep going like this and before you know it we'll all have to work in the office all the time, that would suuuuuuuck  

 

Hopefully employers will now see that having to work 'in the office' is bullshit for a large part of the working population (of course not for all, plenty of jobs where working on a specific location is necessary). Personally I'm hoping my employer will be fine with 1 or 2 days per week at the office.

The situation is improving better and better here. We are going to almost completely open from 9th May

 

Yesterday, Only 378 new cases caught from 34967 PCR tests and 494 from 325793 Rapid tests, which is the best result for a while.

Quite interesting the most populous region (Bratislava region) had only 11 new cases yesterday, My region (Košice) 54 new positive.

 

189 Pacients are still under artificial ventilation, 131 hospitalized at ICU

 

For the vaccines, 1.093.258 people received the first dose so far, 502.947 both doses (13329 & 3519 yesterday)

While in Europe situation is looking way better now (Poland will open many places from May 4th, despite first confirmed case of Indian variant of virus here) the things are totally out of control not only in Brazil and mainly in India but also in Nepal.

 

 

And today  noted over 7k new cases
