New COVID-19 cases are on the rise in Europe, but hospital admissions continue to fall in most countries. In the US, the trajectory for hospital admissions is straight down. If we continue at our present rate, we'll break our record low point by next weekend.
Try adding South Korea. They have been climbing the chart for a few months now. Right now they're well above the UK and almost as high as where France peaked in February.
I suspect South Korea won't be added until it is "European"
It is interesting though to note the times when Kevin has mentioned South Korea and COVID-19:

How two years have changed things.
Yes, but variant! Long Covid! Other random countries! The unvaccinated! Small children! Immuno-compromised people!

Thanks for the list.
Vietnam is not in this top 50, was hit hard last fall (deaths). Now, it it having a huge Covid outbreak, but few deaths (80% vaccinated).
Sun Angle which reduces viral load is keeping cases down in North America compared to Europe or Asia. Much like the Beta hype from last year, it will completely crash May/June. Biden should declare victory and the cdc should adjust to a pandemic to endemic phase. It won't be the only victory. My sources in the military tell me Putin and his crooked cronies want peace by April. 50$ oil here we come by summer as long positions are liquidated and Iran comes back into the fold.. Secondly, rebuilding the Ukraine will help spur US manufacturing and Republicans in Ohio look like globalist con men..
Oo, look QAnon has joined the conversation.
Do not feed the troll.
Let's enjoy it while it lasts. Hopefully the next surge won't get here for a couple of months but it may be a little sooner, and hopefully smaller. Europe is showing us our future.
Spring Break. March Madness. Masks are down.
Yes, this is a stress test.
In Europe--it's the massive numbers of refugees that will be added stress for their Covid protocols along with everything else.
As for case counts in US, NY looks like it's stalling around 10 new cases/day/100K, and maybe NJ and New England. Hopefully it's just a bump from the release of the mask mandates and numbers will start falling again shortly.
This will lead to a Sulzberger Advertiser special report: US hospital COVID-19 admits are at record lows; how this happened because of Donald Trump's research priorities, & why this is bad news for joebiden.
I was really hoping for more dead republicans
We might at least get to see Washington Stare coup plotter turned child trafficker Matt Shea drawn n' quartered in Poland.
