Worldwide Infections Down

[Jackmanandboy]

The number of infections reported world wide is down markedly in the last month or so. The Spanish, Hong Kong and Asian flu epidemics lasted about 18 months or so.......is this epidemic easing off?

Hard to know really. I'd imagine that testing and identifying both cases and mortality is not an exact science in many parts of the world, both for reasons of development and Governmental honesty (looking at you China & Russia) so the Worldwide figures have probably only ever been an estimate. These things eventually do burn themselves out anyway, but measures taken in some places allied to vaccine rollout is will undoubtedly be having an effect too.
