This podcast goes into the rising number of cases in such countries as France, Mexico, Germany, Portugal, among others. Also the high number of new cases does not translate into high number of deaths, which thanks to the third or fourth dose of the anti Covid-19 vaccines keeps the majority of the Omicron cases from going to ICU or Urgent Care. The exception are Eastern European countries with low level of vaccination such as Bulgaria and Romania and in the United States, those counties and states that also have low percentage of people vaccinated.
