The awful scenes from Indian hospitals struggling to cope with a massive increase in infections and the horrific funeral pyres, is in stark contrast to the picture in Wales.
For the second time in a week there has not been one death and the infection rate is the lowest in Britain.
All very encouraging and enough for the government to announce further easing of restrictions.
It is not just good news for us, the public, but for the Welsh government as it will surely influence the result of the Senedd and local government elections. It will decide the future handling of the pandemic, an unenviable task but which has been tackled intelligently.
The twists and turns over many months, the ups and downs in public confidence, has taught us not to be carried away by the latest improvements.
Britain is faring better than most countries but the arrival of new virus strains is a menacing development.
The disparity in vaccination programmes is another cause for concern.
The long awaited return of sporting activities, entertainment, holidays and hospitality - that drink inside a pub - is tantalisingly close, but we have learned that it may not be all plain sailing.
It is a case of ‘steady as she goes’.
