It takes 7 to infect 21, 63, 189, 567, 1701, 5103 and so on... were far from beating COVID. Those numbers could be achieved in a week... we need a cure nothing less. I can see in a couple of months “Breaking News: COVID 2.0” followed by “COVID 3.0” and so on.

Good job but there is no room for complacency. We should eliminate the virus ASAP and then loosen restrictions except for the border restrictions.😭

7 flu cases!..lock me up! Lock me up!..we’re all gonna dieee! 🤪

Looks like weve beaten it, well done everyone.

Possibly due to Easter It takes 14 days from what we are told, your headline makes no sense 😂
