🚨Positive news alert: The number of Covid-19 vaccinations globally has surpassed the total number of confirmed cases.

According to our vaccine tracker, over 105m doses have been administered so far, while the number of confirmed cases is just over 103m ft.com/content/e29efb…

Free-to-read: Back in November, @timhayward was diagnosed with Covid-19 and in a matter of hours after arriving at the hospital, he was put on a ventilator. What follows is his account of 30 days in hospital, 10 of those unconscious in the ICU ft.com/content/2b0dbb…
