Insightful thread by an American author & travel writer who has lived in & written about #Ukraine

[Andrew Ellis Evans @WheresAndrew]

I moved to Ukraine not long after the country first gained independence from Moscow (in 1991). For two years I lived in Kharkiv, a city of 2 million (currently under attack by the Russian forces). Today represents one more tragedy unfolding in Ukraine by its neighbor Russia.

[Susan Farlow @FarWriter]

Sobering. So much for Happy New Year.

[Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett]

Because the number-crunchers of public health in most of the USA are on Holidays, #COVID19 #Omicron tracking is slowed. Bad as this spread looks, it is likely a significant undercount of cases, hospitalizations and even deaths.
Brace for real numbers after Jan1.

Checking out the #PandemicAtlas

[The Associated Press @AP]

The coronavirus emerged a year ago in Wuhan, China, and swept across the world. It brought joblessness and lockdowns, infirmity and death to all corners of the globe. But each nation has its own story of how it coped.
