A Covid-Weary World Is Facing a Distressing Reality Check Variants and new hotspots show what the virus’s long tail will be like: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...&sref=jjXJRDFv

That inequality is repeated around the globe. According to the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker, the wealthiest 25 countries and regions around the globe have administered 18% of the total doses given, despite having only 9% of the population.

Those conditions are “a toxic cocktail for disaster,” said Joanne Liu, professor of global health at Montreal’s McGill University and former international president of Doctors Without Borders.

“It’s like climate change,” she said from Tunisia, where she’s helping in the Covid response. “We see it coming, we don’t know how we’re going to stop it. It needs a huge collective effort, meaning solidarity, sharing and equitable distribution of vaccine and goods.”

Just been on a WhatsApp call with old colleagues in Sierra Leone. All reporting friends and family dying. No covid testing and nobody is counting them. They’re bemused that anyone in the west thinks they can put a number on their losses. Asked me can I please help with vaccines…

While caution and collective action still needed here, it's getting to stage where much bigger story is how covid will last for years more in poorer nations before there is widespread vaccination - some not expecting that until start of 2023.

And the longer the pandemic lasts, the more variants are produced that may not be protected by the current vaccines

I think staying ahead of the virus in the future will be what it’s all about, a global effort, and hopefully it will just mutate to something that is easily treatable. Reckon a country that does have a variant of concern will just have to shutdown straight away so it cannot spread to others, until it’s checked out etc….

Looking at the graph on the top right hand side of the linked page, the fall in UK cases is being mirrored in Wales - good signs for more people to be allowed into the football?

Re: Coronavirus update

So we plan to let EU and US citizens in from Monday if they are double jabbed, but the yanks are still not letting anyone in? How is that fair and just?

The Delta Variant is now in the US, the CDC said that it accounts for something between 80 and 90% of new cases

so by keeping the borders closed is just harming the Tourism Industry

A US citizen can travel to the UK, see the sights, jump back on a plane and back home to the US

What is the difference to a UK citizen going on holiday to the US ? ? ?

The difference is that we will let them in but they won't let us in. Easy!
