What's your point? 400k is less than 4 percent of the belgian population. If we had vaccinated 4 percent more of our population, we would avoid a new lockdown, with all the economic implications it has on the country and Europe as a whole. Most other EU countries are in that same situation.
Zero sum, it is not.
- rictic 6y agoMy point is that your post is clearer with per capita numbers and percentages.
- morsch 6y agoDoubling your vaccination rate is nowhere close to enough to avoid a lockdown. Germany has vaccinated 9% (half dose or better) of the population and we're going back into lockdown. At 10%, there's still an endless number of old people left unvaccinated, and if you infect a large percentage of mid aged people, that alone is easily enough to wreck your health system.
- scrollaway 6y agoYou misread my numbers. We are already at the same numbers as germany, like most EU countries. Doubling it would take care of pretty much all 65+.
- kzrdude 6y agoDenmark has just decided it will open up when everyone above the age of 50 has been vaccinated. That's a sizeable part of the population (35%?)
