No 25 January 2022      Omincron, the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet and most virulent form of the Coronavirus yet.

The world has gone from 286 million cases of Covid-19 to 374 million cases in a month, a 30.8% increase in Covid-19 cases in just one month!

Australia has gone from 389 thousand cases of Covid-19 to 2.541 million cases in a month, a 552% increase in Covid-19 cases in just one month! We went from a one of the most contained countries in the world to one of the most infected in just 31 days!! Australia was listed by the USA as one of a few countries with a Red Alert travel warning. But somehow, we are coping, our hospital systems haven’t crashed, although they are very stretched and our health services in general are under enormous stress.

Covid-19 made its way into our extended family, a niece and her family all got Covid, it took a family Uncle from us. It makes it real when the people you care for get it.

Here are my Covid-19 charts for the world and Australia to the end of January 2022.
