I’d refer him to Ireland.

We had it almost beaten. Then government gave the go ahead to open up for Christmas.

Now we’re the most infected in the world per capita.

Don’t do it.


Germany are staying locked down until April ffs.


Lock it all down until everyone is vaccinated. Only way to get on top of it now.

Brazil is a nightmare right now
Many people died last night without oxygen
Tragical
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it's a random thing

I remember watching the stats and thinking Maryland would top out around 1000 deaths (out of ~6M people). We are now well over 6000.

do the mass vaccinations in Africa he speaks of require that the vaccine be kept at -1000 degrees Celcius?

GENEVA, Jan 18 (Reuters) - The head of the World Health Organization said on Monday that the world was on the brink of a "catastrophic moral failure" on distributing vaccines, urging countries and manufacturers to share COVID-19 doses more fairly around the world.

"Not only does this me-first approach leave the world's poorest and most vulnerable at risk, it is also self-defeating," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the opening of the body's annual Executive Board meeting.

"Ultimately these actions will only prolong the pandemic." (Reporting by Emma Farge, Editing by Michael Shields)


That's rich coming from the man whose 'morality' allowed for much of the global spread to begin with. Go back to blowing pooh bear asshole.

Yeah fuck this guy. Countries that are poor probably don't have the sub zero refrigeration on hand to distribute the two vaccines currently approved. It makes perfect sense for them to wait until something easier to distribute is approved and the distributors are stable enough to do so.

Jesse Jackson got the jab at Roseland Hospital on Chicago’s south side, which was in the news a couple weeks ago when it was reported that only 25% of the hospital staff was willing to get vaccinated (staff is heavily Black/Hispanic). Kizzmekia Corbett was there too and spoke.

This is the kind of targeted messaging that leaders will need to continue to do to get over the vax hesitation we’re seeing everywhere. Pretty cool.

Here's the current proportional case counts:

What he's saying is that green and dark blue areas should curtail their vaccination efforts so that yellow and red can increase their vaccinations. And not to go all B on you, but anything stand out about the green and dark blue areas?

The wife and I have actively been discussing what rooms we're going to decorate next when this kicks off again over here and we go back into lockdown

Green and Blue areas have big issues currently. WHO is advocating taking vaccines from Green and Blue countries to give to Yellow countries.

Africa does not have the infrastructure to vaccinate with moderna/Pfizer. They need to wait for a one shot that you can store at normal temps.
