(Washington Post) – Looking at the day-by-day chart tracking Italy’s relentless coronavirus death toll, it would be impossible to tell that the country has been armed since late December with vaccines. At a point when the pandemic has become a race between those vaccines and a more lethal variant, most Western European nations have managed to push down their death rate through a combination of lockdowns and vaccinations.

On Wednesday, the country reported another 627 victims of the virus, the highest daily figure since early January.
