SARS-CoV-2 two years on

It's now two years since SARS-CoV-2 started its move across the world. From 2020, the Johns Hopkins Tracker has charted the data in terms of cases, mortality, jurisdiction and vaccinations. There has always been a level of under-reporting and poor data capture in many countries, nonetheless the staggering number of infections (over 300 million and still counting) and deaths (over 5 million and continuing) is sobering.

The World Health Organisation has warned that the current variant, Omicron should not be considered a 'mild' disease simply due to being less lethal than the Delta variant. It can still be a serious infection as with COVID-19 generally.
