Well done to all the countries helping India in this difficult time.
I can't believe how things have escalated over there.
Over here we're lucky that our vaccine rollout is very fast.
Otherwise we would also be in trouble.

My worries are that the bigger countries will all be vaccinated, and the poorer countries will be ignored, and will suffer similar to India

i think thats going to be a reality. With countries with huge land masses like russia and china and very rural locations too, there is no way those people will be vaccinated. This concept of world herd immunity was never realistic

In theory rural locations aren't a risk, any outbreaks in those will be short-lived just because of being rural, so it will "come and go". It's any large dense populations that are unvaccinated where there's a problem as it'll just keep bouncing around between people in that area and that's when you have a high risk of mutations.

i was speaking to a friend in india, and it really is grim. They have started stock piling their own oxygen supplies for the situation where there are no hospital beds/oxygen

[Nicky91]

fully vaccinated americans are welcome to go on holiday again in EU nations this summer, Ursula von der leyen hasn't mentioned a official date of when this goes in but more at the moment US has herd immunity (70% of all americans fully vaccinated), that is expected to be mid June

so my mom had read majority in India did not stick to measures at all, no face masks, no distancing, also with election gatherings

well no wonder it gotten so out of control with new cases then


don't think this India mutation is worse than brazilian or SA variants but more a case of people not listening to measures, a lacklustre approach from Modi only thinking about election campaign, and common knowledge heavily dense population over there so this all in all is not surprising for me

The Premiere League football organisation have released their test results for this last week ( two tests done on 2,800 players plus staff).

Zero positive results out if 5,600 tests- for the first time
