⚡️WHO predicts rise in Covid-19 due to Russia’s all-out war in Ukraine.

The WHO said on Mar. 11 the rise would likely be due to an increase in the movement of people, low vaccination rates in Ukraine and some receiving countries, & a halt in vaccinations, treatment and testing.

1. I was actually thinking about that today.

When I see on the news all those people at the train stations all packed in together, some wearing masks, but not everyone. I was thinking if it doesn't create a big outbreak, maybe we are nearing the end of this thing. At least over there, anyway.

2. I just mentioned this in another post about Covid cases rising again.

I am impressed at seeing so many people still wearing masks while dodging bullets. Two horrible situations at the same time.

3. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and US WWI troops were closely intertwined.

The virus traveled with the troops from camp to camp in Europe and coming back home across the Atlantic. The high morbidity levels impacted combat readiness.
