Europe in detail

Slowly declining over all

Locally we seem to be cresting as well finally, under the 4,000 cases per day again.

My wife is getting the vaccine before me if all goes to plan. She managed to sign up for moderna/pfizer for next Tuesday, available for those at high risk. I'm on the wait list for Astrazeneca. Her brother is getting moderna/pfizer as well on Tuesday (essential worker). So that would just leave me and the kids of our 'bubble'. Kids won't get vaccinated, and I guess I'll be waiting a bit longer. (Not a hot spot here).
