"Almost 10,000 deaths from COVID-19 were reported to WHO in December, mostly in Europe and US, and there was a 42% increase in hospitalizations and a 62% increase in [intensive care unit] admissions, compared with November," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general at the World Health Organization.

This has been going for a while here in the Netherlands. I barely know anyone who hasn't at least had a cold somewhere between mid November and now. I've had either Influenza or RSV and it got me quite good tbh. Unfortunately I couldn't get any vaccinations because I'm not in a risk group. Wouldn't mind taking a jab or two to skip a week of being ill, as well as potential after effects.
