In the last episode of the Covid show, we look at the rising cases in Europe, South-East Asia and non-declining Covid cases in the United States. We discuss China’s response to the latest Omicron virus surge in the country and try to look at the vaccines, which helped the healthcare facilities to not be overwhelmed and stretched beyond their capacities to deal with the serious cases of the virus.
