Another negative and vacinne-obsessed comment. Although only 29% vaccinated, they went in Indonesia from over 50 000 cases daily in July to 244 (7th November). But most of all, from over 2000 deaths daily in July to 11 deaths (7th November). That would be sooooo refreshing to get positive news (and forum comments?) once in a while, even when/if vaccines have not really much to do with these news. If Indonesia manages to give that booster to the ones whom need it, the ones dying from covid (no need to mention who they are again), surely one can tell that Indonesia is doing well then.

That’s because it went in to localised lockdowns on July 1st. What you are seeing is the combined effect of lockdowns and introduction of vaccine. Nearly half the population have had at least one vaccination.

Do look up the covid-infections graphs for India, Pakistan and BanglaDesh > they show an almost IDENTICAL pattern as Indonesia.  Seems that there is another factor at play than lockdowns and vaccine-introduction...

I will, but we were commenting on Indonesia. India is certainly an interesting case.
