In the 4th most populous country there is a surge in new cases (despite lousy testing). What actually applies to the most of South east Asia and that is basically the spin off from what happened in India recently. What altogether is fertile ground for creation of new variants.

Indonesia +34 300 (the worst on record)
Bangladesh +11 100 (second worst day on the record after yesterday)
Malaysia + 7000
Thailand +6500 (the worst on record)


Mexico +8000 (the worst number since winter)
Netherlands +3600 (the strong bump in cases that will probably spread into neighboring countries)
Portugal +3300 (the worst number since winter, it will probably infect other countries)


Etc.

I really want to see how this experiment will end. I really do.
Especially since about 30% of people are still none vaccinated (about half have both doses).

When it was brown non-Christians, panic was a virtue and the mark of a true patriot.

Personally I'm not panicking but I believe we should be prepared. It's reminiscent of the story of the ant and the grasshopper which ought to be one that conservatives should appreciate, if they had any sense.

One of our regions reached 0 known cases.
However delta is becoming a dominant variant around the country. Therefore we will se how long that will last before a spill happens.

In the Netherlands exactly a week ago there were 1125 new infections, while today they are already at 10283 known new infections. Two more days like this and there we be a new record day.
What means that this is basically a repeat of what happened in India. The stuff are closing all over the place.

The peninsula state is seeing fairly steep bump in new cases. Plus Mexico is on the +9500 with pretty bad testing.
What in the bottom line means that the virus has "beachheads" in North America.



There is record day in a number of countries around the world.

One neighboring region to this one is now also at 0 (and a few more could follow).
These are pretty rural, low population areas but it still counts for something.



Senegal to build coronavirus vaccine plant to help meet African demand

Nice, but building a few more of those around the continent probably isn't a bad idea.

Absolutely no precautions at the grocery store. They even removed the 6ft distancing stickers on the floor. Numbers are low in this state and 50% vaccinated, but I think it's too soon come Fall and flu season.

Very steep spike, which is causing unrest.
Therefore this could easily be a trigger for something "big" in political sense. Since unlike in Belarus the Russia isn't just next door.

It's probably too much to hope for, since we can't even manage to impose negative consequences on the guy who actually caused a rabid mob to overtake the Capital just to soothe his ego, but it'd be great if the families of people who died as a result of this disgusting pig boldly posting outright lies/propaganda sued her fucking ass off. Because there IS a truth, and it SHOULD matter, especially when it's literally a matter of life vs death.

It'd be great if such douchebag public comments were meticulously recorded and ALL the douchebags who've made them face consequences. If only to start actually discouraging bombastic douchebag lying/propaganda. And it's incredibly depressing that that feels like a pipe dream.

I'm just curious what their excuse will be once the FDA approval is granted. I mean I understand the right has some serious mental gymnastics to do in regards to most things but they should start getting that new excuse messaging out there now.

Be sure to get your COVID vaccine... so that you're prepared for hurricanes.

Follow these important hurricane preparedness tips from CDC:

  • Prepare for a hurricane: Take basic steps now to ensure your safety should a storm hit.
  • Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. COVID-19 vaccines help protect you from getting sick or severely ill with COVID-19 and may also help protect people around you.
  • Get emergency supplies: Stock your home and your car with supplies. Give yourself more time than usual to prepare your emergency food, water, and medicine supplies. Home delivery is the safest choice for buying disaster supplies; however, that may not be an option for everyone. If in-person shopping is your only choice, take steps to protect your and others’ health when running essential errands.
  • Make a plan: Create a family disaster plan.
  • Prepare to evacuate: Never ignore an evacuation order. Pay attention to local guidance about updated plans for evacuations and shelters, including shelters for your pets.
  • Protect older adults: Understand older adult health and medical concerns.
  • Protect your pets: Ensure your pet’s safety before, during, and after a hurricane.
  • When you check on neighbors and friends, be sure to follow social distancing recommendations (staying at least 6 feet from others) and other CDC recommendations to protect yourself and others.

Believe it or not that makes a lot of sense. Because if a large scale natural disaster takes out your home you are basically losing your ability to socially distance. While in the end there are decent odds that you will end up in some overcrowded shelter or camp that is quite vulnerable to the pandemic. If there is a scenario where vaccine could save your life this is probably the top one.

He probably knows that.
The good thing is that there are people in Brazil with the same mindsets (even though some surveys here havent found that...) and now I am going to get vaccinated in a week or two, even before [MENTION=39780]noname3788[/MENTION] who is in a good european country, because some people here were simply not coming by to get the vaccine when called and the government started to calling younger people sooner due to that.
You don't need to say how bad that is in the long term and how bad for society is, I know, Im trying to think positively a bit, not that I am a 100% happy with that but at least Im getting the vaccine quite soon.

Many countries have the worst day in months and some even new record. With this trend a new wave all across developed world is pretty much inevitable.


Hint:
Spain + 44 000
UK + 36 600
Florida +5000

1. Yeah, "probably". However over the months I have read such nonsense statements around here on the topic that I am not really sure that some people can still think straight. So who knows, maybe I save some lurker just by saying the obvious.


2. That is pretty much how I got my vaccine much sooner than I expected.
