Especially given these data from Worldometer.
I know we should be highly skeptical of their numbers early in the pandemic, but I'm equally skeptical that they've decided to report accurately now.
Their current daily case rate is the worst during the whole pandemic right now (around 40k cases per day). And, so are daily deaths. (Around 1,200)
Curious numbers considering they're mostly using the best vaccine.
