The percentage of the daily positive cases out of the total tests for the day is the highest it has ever been. It stands today at 16%, With the numbers up ticking for consecutive days now it will not come as a surprise if the old country is categorized as a high risk nation and imposed upon some tough restrictions. I heard Oman has already made such decision. It has barred passengers coming from the old country. I’m afraid more countries will follow unless the numbers begin to go down or at least stabilize. BTW, today’s numbers from here USA do not look that good either. Both daily new cases and deaths are up two days in a row. What helps the overall picture is the daily recovery. But these two numbers are the ones to watch for days to come. It is no time to relax. But the numbers coming out of the old country are very concerning to me. Let’s keep those upright people in our thoughts and prayers!
