Reproduction rate < 0

The article says "On May Day, given that the reproductive rate of the virus was below 0". Is a negative repro rate really possible? What does it mean? ChrisLambertUK (talk) 08:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rates for 2nd March

Please could you have these checked, the case number seems improbably high, and the recovery number seems improbably low at the moment. Thank you. 95.148.142.59 (talk) 22:40, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Where did they get the vaccine?

How did Malta get so many jabs of vaccine? Are they not part of the EU vaccine procurement programm?--2A02:810A:11BF:E564:D4F8:D0BC:47C7:B9E9 (talk) 16:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I too came to ask what vaccines are they using. Today in COVID-19 vaccine I see Malta at a 55,9% of people with at least one dose when the EU rate is 28,3%. --Error (talk) 18:51, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 24, 2021: 42% of people fully vaccinated, 70% with at least one dose

Wikipedia now advertises the 70% figure without mentioning that it is for ONE dose only.

https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-05-24/malta-has-achieved-herd-immunity-with-covid-shots-says-minister

What is the most current situation, how many people have received two doses of covid-19 vaccination? And how many have received three, if some people get extra doses because they have immune suppression?

The last time before June 2021 Malta had zero covid-19 cases per day was in July 2020, when NOBODY was covid-19 vaccinated. So it is more about season of year, than how many people vaccinated at this point of time, until >70% of people living in Malta have been fully vaccinated with two doses.

COVID-19 pandemic in Malta (top right hand box)

SHouldn’t the government website be official (ie. a gov.mt) website (eg. https://deputyprimeminister.gov.mt/en/health-promotion/covid-19/Pages/covid-19-infographics.aspx) rather than er, some other (commercial?) site?

The official government website actually still links to the .info site as of Sep 11, but it's definitely been taken over by some unrelated commercial squatter. 64.229.246.146 (talk) 19:22, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
