And in a bit of COVID-19 related news from here, my local university hospital has been doing blood-serum tests from volunteers who believed they might have had COVID-19 already. And to the surprise of perhaps no one, 40% of participants have indeed had the disease in the last 90 days. When those who had it last year, in the first wave (including yours truly) are factored in, the number could be as high as a whopping 60% in my region alone.

University hospitals in other regions are currently doing the same tests to see just how far COVID-19 has penetrated into the overall population.
