I could also justify Airline emergency funding to an extent, providing that other sectors were funded too. There hasn't been any actual funding in order to support the National Healthcare system, only a few ICU beds were added at most since the previous lockdown on March 2020.

The past lockdown was supposed to be a lesson to gear up for what would come during the winter months, while no proper action was taken, we were idle the whole summer, and we're currently going through the worst phase of the pandemic.

I guess the European nations are better prepared for this winter, because almost half of the population has been fully vaccinated. I am more worried about the countries in the northern hemisphere where the vaccination rate has been low - such as India and Russia. With the entry of more contagious strains of the virus, this winter is going to be disastrous for these countries. The trick is to vaccinate as many as possible, before the winter sets in. And in this regard, India is moving in the right direction, while Russia is not.

I just stumbled upon this photo. You can easily notice that most European countries are doing relatively well, except for most Balkan countries, except Greece. Unfortunately, Russia, founder of the Sputnik vaccine, isn't doing so well.
