Is the situation getting better in your country?

Covid cases here have dropped. It was because the testing facilities have decreased too. When I saw this on TV, I was dismayed. I thought it was a real progress but nope. That means we have to be extra careful as we don't know the real score. What about in your country?

According to the news, the US had the most new cases of C19 that they ever had. That is not comforting to hear.

True we really don’t know the real score for now. I am just hesitant to go out yet though l am forced to from time to time so we can get our supplies every now and then. l have been there and still l can still get it if l am not extra careful about it.

@Janet357 I think there is already a vaccine but they are withholding it from the public.

It is getting better here but I am terrified of a second wave.

I agree. That second wave is much more terrifying.

I usually check every day... just did and the numbers have jumped yet again. This is getting scarier by the day. I thought that we would have seen some kind of turn around by now.

It is not under control in most countries. The virus is having a vice grip on us and seems to be getting stronger! No magic bullet yet.

In most countries, decrease of cases is misleading information. When testing kits are scarce or have reduced, the testing capacity goes down and confirmed cases also drop. Same case with my country

I lost track on the covid statistics. Apparently things are getting better because the restrictions have eased.

We are in the same country as you know and I wonder, why has the testing facility decreased? Stay safe.

In my country all aspects are already adapted to prevent and fight covid. We have almost 150000 effected but positively almost 80% become negative after some cures. As we have minimum facilities, government uses several hotels for quarantine place. Government also has ordered vaccine sinovax which considered effective and has minimum side effect.
