Why don´t they mention Covid variants and sub variants by name? Greek reporter speaks of Centaurus sub variant; not mentioned here, though. You´d think-with elderly dying waiting for care of non Covid ailments, with healthy pregnant women losing their babies or their own life, and firemen sent home with 4 broken ribs- they´d at least get the aim of their focus right. Not even.

Hello, What your COVID write-up does not state, but should as too many people do not know, is that several studies show the official counts under count actual cases by up to 80%. (I can provide links/references if needed.) Several other studies have shown that with the newer COVID variants almost 60% of the people who catch COVID are unaware they have it. (I can provide links/references if needed.) Lastly, a number of studies have shown that having long term COVID (with long term defined as having COVID for more than one month) can cause serious harm to the brain and many internal organs, and the potential for harm is the same across all variants of COVID. (Again, I can provide links/references if needed.) Therefore, what we know based on the studies mention above is 1) the actual number of new COVID cases in Portugal for the above mentioned time period was probably at least 30,000. 2) the internal organ damage caused by long term COVID will cause an increase in COVID related health problems and/or deaths for at least the next five years. 3) Contrary to what many people think, COVID is still very active in the population and continues to be of grave concern for people with pre-existing heart, brain, or a number of other health, conditions.

And, of course, no information.. not even the attempt, to state how nany of these cases are occurring in individuals fully or even partially vaccinated.
Studies, by the way, are. Just that..studies , not necessarily always fully referenced or based on sound evidence or independent, stress this, scientific research!
