We are really close to end of covid? On the other hand, the data coming from United kingdom Optimism also leaked from the usually cautious rooms in the World Health Organization, and on the other hand the news coming from Israel They will not bode well.
Let’s see what the good news is first. in the UK David Nabarro, the head of the World Health Organization Covid, we’re starting to peek at ‘llight at the end of the tunnel”.
In fact, across the channel, in one week Injuries decreased by 40%So much so that the ever-shaky Boris Johnson government has announced that the few restrictive measures still in effect will soon be lifted.
Despite sudden spikes due to Omicron in recent weeks, Johnson, even in the midst of the storm caused by the events of the Downing Street concerts, has resisted pressure from scholars and business who have called in vain for tougher anti-Covid rules.

In Israel, the end of Covid is not near
Unlike the United Kingdom, those who come from Israel It doesn’t seem like good news. Although the management Fourth dose For the vulnerable and those over the age of 60, infections and hospitalizations are back on the rise.
