It's the second summer now with covid. Last year they said that during summer when people are outside that the virus shouldn't be spreading. I hope this year be the same, then all the lockdowns could end. But who knows what is going to happen in winter. Maybe we will experience the 4th covid wave. It looks really like covid is the new flu and we will have to deal every year with it.
If everyone was following the lockdown and social distancing restrictions, then COVID 19 would have been well under control by now. But that never happened. And then the only solution was to vaccinate as many people as possible. That is also not happening, because initially some of the countries were slow in signing deals with the vaccine manufacturers. And now there is a shortage of the vaccines.
