John Burn-Murdoch, at the forefront of Covid-19 analysis since the start of the pandemic, recently published a chart that has caused quite a stir.
Country by country, he superimposed the evolution of daily cases and deaths over a year, highlighting the recent drop in the number of deaths for countries with a high vaccination rate.
Conversely, the countries less advanced in this process still show a mirror effect between these two indicators throughout the period analyzed.
