ANALYSIS: How Europe Went Wrong in Its Vaccine Rollout

Sat, 2021-03-20 19:54 — mike kraft

BRUSSELS — The calls began in December, as the United States prepared to administer its first batches of Covid-19 vaccine. Even then, it was clear that the European Union was a few weeks behind, and its leaders wanted to know what they could learn from their American counterparts.

The questions were the same, from President Emmanuel Macron of France, President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission, and Alexander De Croo, the prime minister of Belgium.

“How did you do it?” Dr. Moncef Slaoui, the United States vaccine czar, recalled them asking on the calls. “And what do you think we missed?”

Overview of Covid-19 cases rising in much of the world--the Economist, with graphs

Sat, 2021-03-20 12:34 — mike kraft

Covid-19 cases are rising again in much of the world More transmissible variants, rather than changes in behaviour, are largely to blame The Economist

LIKE A STORY-BOOK villain, the covid-19 pandemic has a habit of fighting back from the brink of defeat. Last summer politicians were quick to assume that the coronavirus had been squashed, only for a second wave to engulf much of Europe and North America in the autumn.

EU proposes a Covid-19 ccertificate that would make travel easier for European residents.

Wed, 2021-03-17 20:30 — mike kraft

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/03/17/world/covid-19-coronavirus#to-save-the-summer-tourist-season-travel-certificates-are-proposed-in-europe

The European Union proposed a Covid-19 certificate on Wednesday that would allow people to travel more freely, a move aimed at saving the summer tourist season for member states that depend on it economically.

The proposed document, known as a Digital Green Certificate, would allow residents of member nations to travel at will within the bloc if they have proof of Covid-19 vaccination, a negative test result or a documented recovery from the coronavirus.

The certificates would be free and would be available in digital or paper format.

“The Digital Green Certificate will not be a precondition to free movement, and it will not discriminate in any way,” said Didier Reynders, the bloc’s top official for justice, adding that the aim was to “gradually restore free movement within the E.U. and avoid fragmentation.”
