So pleased for you @rechu and Chile, it sounds like you're in a much better place, and I hope it will stay that way.

Our population is estimated around 66 million btw but nobody really knows for sure, we had a census in April but not everyone will have completed that. Even taking into account our relatively high population many countries, like Chile and Denmark are doing way more better than us.

There was a small but significant anti Vax movement here, compared to many other democratic stable countries. Maybe it's because we follow the US culturally (because of shared language) I'm not sure. We've also had continuously poor/mixed messaging from our government and I still feel they unlocked completely when cases were too high and vaccination not advanced enough. They also left it far too late to vaccinate 12-16 year olds as they were already back at school, that age group has high infection and whereas they're unlikely to get very sick they can still unwittingly spread the virus.

Good news is we are also giving boosters to vulnerable people, 6 months following their 2nd shot. My parents were done last weekend.
