Another number that I see as something the old country has been spared is the rate of deaths among those who were infected with the virus. It has been hovering over less than 1.0% until recently with today’s reaching 1.4%. That number has been between 2.5 and 3.5% in most European countries and it is around 1.8% here in the USA and in Canada at 2%. UK and Italy have been at constant 3%. With more and more people getting at least their first jab this dreaded number will either stay the same or even plummet. All current vaccines don’t only protect people from infection they also eliminates the chance of dying from it. Insha’Allah!!!!
Did you see today’s recovery number? It went thru the roof!!! It just blasted the record with 2,973 patients who left the building healthy and in one piece in just the last 24 hours!!!
