WARSAW – Hospitals in Turkey and Poland are filling up fast. Pakistan is restricting domestic travel to bring a surge in coronavirus infections under control.
Even Thailand, which has weathered the coronavirus pandemic far better than many nations, is now struggling to contain a new COVID-19 surge.
Even countries where vaccine rollouts are finally getting some momentum, infections, hospitalizations and deaths are surging.
And that leaves even bleaker prospects for much of the world, where largescale vaccination programs remain a more distant prospect.
