Re:
My home state of NH had gotten active cases down to around 250 this past Summer. It must be pandemic fatigue because we are now over 6,800 active cases.

Re: Covid-19
Finland reaches the death-per-10000 limit, but still doing better than pretty much anyone in Europe, except Norway and Iceland.

Re: Covid-19
Thank science we have at least two vaccines now, but if things keep going at the pace they are, it's going to take quite a while to get everyone vaccinated.
At least there's some light at the end of the tunnel in the US, because the grownups just won the Senate tonight. Hopefully, this will be a positive thing for the rest of the world, as well.

Re: Covid-19
A curious detail, as Faeroe Islands has their first covid death, Vatican City is the last separately counted country/territory in Europe without casualties.
Europe is not doing well, with recent deaths throwing Liechtenstein high on the list, Europe may soon have top 10 of countries with most deaths per capita.
Here in Nordics, Finland is still relatively good, Iceland and Norway even better, but Sweden still quite bad and Denmark getting worse.
Meanwhile Baltic countries are taking awful beating.
Interestingly the ongoing political crisis seems to have saved Belarus from the worst, at least so far.

Re: Covid-19
In the US, daily cases and daily deaths are still going up, and we have reached more than 4000k deaths per day. My state of Michigan seems to be going down in those numbers at the moment, after reaching a record in new cases on November 20 and daily deaths on December 26.

Re: Covid-19
Looks like Finland will have about same 300-400 deaths in this second wave as there were at spring, unless this stretches much longer.
Indonesia, world's 4th most populous country, keeps getting worse. So far they've only had about the same total amount of deaths (and cases) per capita as Finland, but they've been slowly getting worse since start, now reaching 200 daily deaths and 10000 cases.

Re: Covid-19
Two million deaths globally. While US about to hit 400 000.
I'm noticing a disturbing trend in Africa. Some neighbors of South Africa, the worst disaster zone of the continent, are getting worse. Zimbabwe, Namibia and the semi-independent parts of SA, Eswatini and Lesotho, as well as Zambia next to Zimbabwe, are all going to bad direction.
Nothing like Europe or most of the world so far, but this could mean the epidemic will reach Africa, it's just happening fortunately much slower than elsewhere.
Sweden is still doing quite horribly. (Well, I mean about same as France, Spain, US...)

Re: Covid-19
Many European countries are starting to get over the worst of second wave, including Nordics. Except Finland is as bad as has been for a while, but then again we did flatten the curve pretty well.
But there are some places that look real bad, Portugal most notable.
And even though many countries are improving, they've got long way to go.
I fear third world is getting worse, Africa is starting to look like Europe in the beginning of first wave.

Re: Covid-19
I'm looking at some disturbing stats from Russia.
Officially Russia is doing reasonably well, approximately similar numbers per capita as Canada or Germany. Now reporting some 80 000 deaths, not a small number but half of Mexico and even with France.
But that's the official numbers of covid deaths. 2020 number of deaths in Russia was over 300 000 higher than the year before.
When you compare the same numbers on countries with most covid deaths, most of the big ones show 25-50% difference; only Iran and Mexico appear to have over twice the official number of deaths (assuming last year didn't happen anything else super deadly).
But excluding 2021 death from that 80 000, Russia may have five times or more the number of deaths officially reported. This would make it the worst country in world in deaths per capita (San Marino included).

Re: Covid-19
For a month now global cases and deaths have settled on level that is lower than during the great third wave that started in october but higher than any time before that.
To repeat, while situation is better than over the disastrous turn of year, it's still worse than any time during first six month of the epidemic.
Worst of Europe are Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and the Balkans.
Baltic countries, that once were doing better than Nordics, have by now been hit as bad as most of Europe or worse.
Finland is doing reasonably well, if going to worse direction.
About 10% of population have been vaccinated so far.
