Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (256 Viewers)

It looks like B1.167 (Indian variant) is the most likely candidate for immune evasion. Good news is there’s some vaccines apparently work against it. Given India’s size we might see rising hospitalizations everywhere especially countries with low vaccination rates.

@swag called india becoming a clusterfuck.

So it's been a while since vaccines became available. I don't see much of a progress. If anything plenty of countries look horrible at the moment.

Israel? UK? No progress?

Israel? UK? No progress?

US too. Case numbers haven’t surged at all yet with the new variants, and daily death toll staying quite low thanks to mass vaccination of those most at risk.

I didn’t mention US since the number of deaths have come down but not dramatically. It looks like vaccine rollout and new variants kind of neutralized each other. But yeah without vaccines NYC would be like last year’s NYC.

So 2-3 countries with progress and rest struggles. US still has quite big numbers. New variants will just reset everything.

Incidentally those are the countries with most vaccinations. If you don’t vaccinate effectively you can’t blame it on vaccines.
And by the way for most of the variants there’s at least one effective vaccine so far. This B1.167 is new and there is no data for it yet.

3200 deaths/day in January to 750 deaths/day is pretty dramatic imo. The vaccination rollout has gone pretty great.

However, I did read that vaccination rollout has slowed a lot in a number of red states recently due to vaccine hesitancy. I’m sure there’s also the same issue in certain progressive “hippy” populations too.

Yeah, I got my first dose in an empty hockey arena. National Guard soldiers told me that there is so little demand in southern and northern Utah that you can get a same day appointment now in SLC.

Yeah rollout has been a huge success. The slowdown is due to that J&J episode too. Hopefully it picks up again.

That’s kind of why I wonder if the Covid situation there is just gonna kind of float along at the 50k new cases and ~750 deaths/day for quite a few more months there.

urban areas will see slowdown too, the black community has been very reluctant about taking the vaccine and whites are getting vaxed at disproportionately higher numbers. It’s a rural/ghetto issue, they’re all terrible at getting vaxed

@JCK what’s going on over there? Highest new case rate in Europe? Are vaccinations going well?

Yes vaccines are rolling but since the pandemic started it has been like this here, the numbers oscillate quite a lot.

At least us white boys got that solidarity thing going on. No vaccines for any of us.

Plus, if they wanna test the vaccines more long-term effects out on other populations first... I’m not gonna argue against that.
