COVID-19 SHOWS TROUBLING TRENDS: Germany is in the midst of a third wave of coronavirus, Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned. COVID-19 has not spared any country, even those that did well in staying relatively safe in the early months of the pandemic. In fact, every time scientists try to figure out why one particular country has done well in combating the coronavirus, it seems to come back with a vengeance. We have seen this in the case of New Zealand, Pakistan and India, too. For the past two weeks, scientists have been puzzled about why India’s cases were falling. It has now started rising again. The only way to tackle the virus for the moment is for everyone to stay safe and keep others safe. [COMMENT BY: Alex Abraham, Senior Associate Editor]
