I've searched for the definition of "recoveries",  but unsuccessfully. But today I finally got it: daily covid cases x 1.2=daily recoveries.

Oh, it’s on the rise again. More testing was done than yesterday most probably.

[Thommo]

And will Thailand place orders after everyone else for 2030? Or wait for Chinupiravir?
