Looks like Germany is #5 with total world COVID infections and new infections appear to be going, like here in the US, in the wrong direction. Hopefully, this conference won't be a "super-spreader" event...
That's funny. Germany was #1 in the word in COVID infections a few days ago.
Today, Friday, April 29, 2022, according to "John's Hopkins", Germany is still #2 with COVID infections worldwide.
I know of people who have died from COVID and others who continue to struggle with it after years now. Nobody yet understands what the long-term consequences of this virus are, but for many, they're devastating and ongoing.
(Germany also was scoring low and almost failed to be admitted to the EU compared to other countries like Italia, Greece, Portugal IIRC .. later finding out that Germany was honestly precise disclosing their debt etc. and had to bail out other EU countries later who scored top earlier on admittance ..)
