> The post-Covid summer is inching closer Where I'm living (Germany), this sounds like fantasy.

  There is a good chance that by August we will be over 50 % vaccinated and there will be a late vacation season.

    If true, I should definitely have left Berlin for Prague a couple years ago...

      Czech coronavirus response was a rollercoaster. We were the best in spring 2020. Then came the summer respite and the government started resting on their laurels. Then came the menacing autumn and an absolutely disastrous winter, when we actually were the worst in the world. If the USA had the same mortality as we have, it would have over 800 000 deaths by now. Now the disease is falling off again in lockdown, but really fast, faster than expected (people are lukewarm about the rules). There is some suspicion that the British variant simply swept through the nation so hard that, even with the subpar vaccination campaign, we have reached the herd immunity inadvertently. Clearly some of the regions that were worst hit just a month or two ago (Chebsko, Trutnovsko) are now doing OK, which seems to indicate lack of fuel for further infections there.
