The Corona stats are so fucking depressing and disturbing. Seven countries with over 100K deaths, 24 countries with over a million infections. Brazil, Mexico and India are pretty much flying under the radar. These three combined has nearly 750K deaths and 29 million infections.

Disappointing again 46.927 jabs for Saturday that brings the week total to 363.124 with one day to go. It will be a busy Sunday because they need roughly 260.000 jabs to reach their goal of 624.000. 
Another week where they can’t fulfil their promises.

Cheers for posting this. It’s very important to never lose sight of this, especially for our political and economical leaders.
If nothing happens on that front, we’ll go from one pandemic to the next for the rest of our lives, at an ever-increasing rhythm.

Sadly, I doubt that they would even recognise any of the issues covered in the film. To them, only one thing matters: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well, at some point the penny has to drop even for them, isn’t it… A quick succession of pandemics like this one would destroy any kind of economy. Thus in the end, as a side-effect, less $$$$ for everyone.
But they don’t care about everyone, only their own and their cliques’ interests.

Of course. But in the long run, even them and their cliques won’t be able to uphold their businesses and jet-set lifestyle if the planet is swept by one pandemics wave after the other.
And that’s when they’ll all swan off to Mars or the moon or wherever.
Good fucking riddance.

That’s one of the best posts I have seen. The percentage of people taking the vaccines is brilliant

It is, and I suspect this might be the reason the success of the UK and US vaccination programs start to diverge over the coming months. We’re already starting to see in some places evidence of people passing up their opportunity to get a shot in significant numbers. It’s been difficult to see it in the data because up until now there have mostly been enough people to fill the appointments available, but at up to 4 million doses a day now being administered in the US (an astonishing feat) we’re now getting to the point where this effect is starting to show. Michigan is starting to look like it did last summer and the Biden admin is taking heat for so far refusing to divert additional shots to them, but they already have significant surplus. The issue in Michigan is continued rejection by the people of any sort of Covid mitigation actions, something enabled by a the state legislature who have largely sidelined the governor and removed powers from her to implement Public Health control measures. We see a strain of this all over the South and I worry we’re going to soon hit a wall with the vaccinations, at a point way lower than we need it to be.

Any idea why people are passing up their chances of getting the vaccine.
As for AstraZeneca in Europe so also for Johnson & Johnson in the US.
