Altogether 82 patients died of a Covid-related illness over the past 24 hours, while 3,360 new coronavirus infections were registered, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Thursday.
So far 6,266,064 people have received a first jab, while 5,981,569 have been fully vaccinated. Fully 3,176,553 Hungarians have received a booster jab.
The number of active infections went down to 105,553, while hospitals are treating 3,492 Covid-19 patients, 334 of whom need respiratory assistance.
Since the first outbreak, 1,256,415 infections have been registered, while the number of fatalities has risen to 39,186. Fully 1,111,676 people have made a recovery.
The figures the government supplies are highly questionable. Elsewhere in Europe the Omicron variant is rampant and yet it appears we barely have 100 cases. As we have no restrictions, it doesn’t seem to add up. Even those double and booster jabbed can still catch it.
Perhaps it’s more to do with having to pay for tests. Due to the rate of inflation and price hikes, people weigh up the cost of buying food or buying a covid test.
Unless of course it’s to show how well the government has managed to control the pandemic, thus making another ‘haven’t we done well’ for their election campaign. Let’s not forget that we have possibly the worst death toll in Europe per 100,000 though. That should not be forgotten.
Anyone believes that?
