A big thank you from a fellow Eastern European for taking from your time to do this thorough update, DR. You seem to have all the insights. This thread is invaluable for many of us.

I don't have a good feeling about this. The predictions and numbers seem to be matching up pretty well. I can see unrest in the mix if any of these predictions come even close to being true which will only double the chaos.

While we were largely unaffected here in Bulgaria since the start of this whole thing, we are now going up BIG TIME in the past week similar to most European countries at the moment. Looks like DR is spot on. We are doubling the numbers each week now. Healthcare workers here are strained and spread thin. Some are even contemplating leaving no matter the salary or extra payment.

All I can say is buckle up! Hopefully we make it out with minimal damage.
