How are the hospital numbers? I see deaths haven't gone above an average of 3, but it's early days.

Hospitalization (and ICU!) numbers are rising. So is the death toll, but more slowly - maybe because 0-9 and 10-19 are the two age groups with the highest rates of infection.
Schools shouldn't have been open until all children were vaccinated. And students should have have been wearing face masks. It is as if European countries consider children to be invulnerable and as if there is no such thing as long covid.
That is one of the things I admire about Cuba. They didn't open schools until children had had three jabs and they're still masking up.
