The world is ending the emergency states everywhere as if Covid is no longer a problem, but it still is a huge concern. It’s so sad to see how many people have died from Covid.
😩😭
These COVID numbers are just astounding. How I wish we could all treat COVID like the disease it is and not a political issue.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
It is crazy how many cases there still are! The place I work hasn’t stopped wearing face masks and we still test weekly to make sure everyone who works there is good.
🙏🏽👏🏿 keep the masks on!
Thank you for these stats. Just a few days ago I was asking myself some questions related to the COVID thing. What astonished me is that I allowed myself to be afraid of something that has a death rate below 1…In my opinion, COVID wasn’t a humanitarian crisis, it was a crisis of lousy medical systems…
🙏🏽👏🏿
WOw, that statistic!!! It does amazes me how we just forgot about covid, got back to our daily lives as it it never happened. If we all had a look at these stats, maybe we would be so casual about it.
Oh yyeeaahhh….just may be!
For us over here it’s almost like it never existed. Apart from the crippling waiting lists, inflation and money-hungry companies taking the opportunity to rise prices like never before.
😩😩😩
It’s so important to be diligent and stay healthy at all times. The cases of Covid-19 have dropped significantly where I live, but another outbreak could happen at any time.
👍🙏🏽👏🏿
I just read your article on the COVID-19 situation in 2023 and found it incredibly informative! Your insights into the potential long-term effects of the pandemic are really insightful and thought-provoking. Keep up the great work!
👍🙏🏽 you’re welcome.
Those statistics are mind-blowing. And everyone here thought it was going to be over in a matter of months!!! Thanks for the reminders.
😆👍
It will be interesting to look back at this time in 20 or 30 years and see how it impacts us in the future. Thanks for the info
🙏🏽👍
The covid unrest is still prevalent in our country too. pretty much everyone is still wearing their masks!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Its fascinating to look back at this time after so many years. We indeed learned and still learning lots of lesson from the pandemic.
🙏🏽👏🏿
Wow, isn’t it crazy to think how long this virus has been around and how the entire world has been affected?
👍🙏🏽
The problem in the United States is the politicization of the whole thing. And, there is the “freedom” excuse that people use. They seem to think freedom means the freedom to infect someone else.
😩😩
Things have definitely evolved over the past few years. It is interesting to see how it has all changed. I have noticed the newer strains of covid seem less severe in general.
👍🙏🏽
Highlighting the COVID-19 situation in 2023 is incredibly important. It’s been put on the back burner – however, your numbers showcase the importance of not forgetting it’s still a terrible concern with huge health consequences. Thank you for showcasing the current Covid numbers.
🙏🏽👍
Wow, those are some staggering numbers. It’s heartbreaking to see so many confirmed cases and deaths due to COVID-19. On a positive note, it’s great to see that over 13 billion vaccine doses have been administered globally. Let’s keep pushing for more vaccinations and continue practicing safety measures to help prevent the spread of the virus.
👍🙏🏽
These statistics don’t lie and we cannot hide the fact that the virus still exist!
👍🙏🏽
I’ve had it 3x and have the vax, so I’ve done my part, lol! I’m glad the strains are now more like the common cold and not as scary as they once were.
👍🙏🏽
It’s gonna be crazy and chaos if COVID-19 come back and spread out. 2021 was the worst time in my life and I don’t want to be in the same situation ever again.
😩👍
Wow, so many cases, didn’t know that there are this many cases and death. The positive thing about the vaccinated number is that they are many. .
👍🙏🏽
Thanks for decoding the COVID rigmarole for us. I am so glad it has been downgraded now from pandemic status!
👍🙏🏽
