well, if you look at the figures over monday and tuesday, more than 100 k, 1000000 cases in the u. s. on monday, more than 800000 new cases in the u. s. and to do you think, well, that's pretty good. but if you look at the 70 average, which is the much better indicator, and the figures have just come out from john hopkins, they're saying that the 70 average is 553000 new cases in the united states, which is the highest number over the 70 average since the, the whole pandemic began. so you can see there is a deep concern, not least because as we were in the run up from thanksgiving to christmas and new year, we were told that be a serge early in 2022. and that's exactly what we're seeing if there is one bright spot, it is that this doesn't seem to be as awful as covert has been in the past. but the difficulty is that those who would deal with the sergeant hospitalizations, they are also being affected as well. so the people that we combat the watched of the pandemic are also because of they've been exposed the cupboards, have to isolate, or they've actually contracted at the disease a

u. s. has registered more than 880000 debts while in china, it's less than 5000 people. and in taiwan, less than $900.00 people have died. yes, exactly. so if we look at the mortality, it is indeed that helen has done, you know, amazingly well in this regards. but for the recent outbreak that from the only con variant, we see that, you know, the vars has reached through the airport, which is the 1st line of defense. so imagining that you know, for the de, from lying at the airport at the border, they have experienced this exhaustion after 2 and a half years of us, stringent border control. so you have to think, you know, how can the entire society to move forward to seek, you know, the balance of between this tight stringent measures while keeping our health care facilities afloat, not overburden and still keep the mortality rate low. exactly. so professor font, does that explain why other countries like singapore new zealand, for instance, who had followed the 0 covered approach for quite some time, have not abandoned it in favor of increased vaccinations? exactly, i th
