South Africa reported 26 deaths yesterday. Cases are rising quickly, and deaths are slowly starting to rise as well. 30,9% of the population are fully vaccinated and 35,9% have had at least 1 dose. 4,8% of the population has had a booster shot.
Let’s look at the top 10 lists for yesterday.
In Western Europe, cases and deaths are trending down. In the EU 74,1% of the population are fully vaccinated and 76,2% have had at least 1 dose. 52,0% of the population has had a booster shot. The EU and Western Europe are not the same but there is a large overlap between them so I think it is useful to quote EU vaccinations to provide context for this graph.
