Of course, when you have a group of dumbasses not wanting to get vaccinated.


"Like much of the southern U.S., Arizona is lagging somewhat behind the national vaccination rate with around 49 percent of the state's population receiving at least one vaccine shot. Nationally, nearly 66 percent of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine."

"With the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics fast approaching, there have been warnings from medical experts about the possible spread of Covid at the Games.


The Olympics begin on 23 July, and organisers say up to 10,000 domestic fans will be permitted at venues.


The Paralympics starts on 24 August, with its spectator numbers to be confirmed by 16 July,


What is the situation with infections in Japan?


About 1,400 new infections are being reported every day, but case numbers have been falling from a peak of more than 6,000 in mid-May.

"Manila, Philippines Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to jail people who refuse to be vaccinated against the coronavirus as his country battles one of Asia's worst outbreaks, with more than 1.3 million cases and 23,000 deaths.


"You choose, vaccine or I will have you jailed," Duterte said in a televised address on Monday following reports of low turnouts at several vaccination sites in the capital, Manila.


Duterte's remarks contradict those of his health officials, who have said that while people are urged to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, it was voluntary.


"Don't get me wrong, there is a crisis in this country," Duterte said. "I'm just exasperated by Filipinos not heeding the government."


As of June 20, Philippine authorities had fully vaccinated 2.1 million people, making slow progress toward the government's target to immunize up to 70 million people in the country of 110 million this year.


Duterte, who has been criticized for his tough approach to containing the virus, also stood by his decision not to let schools reopen.

"Brazil sees thousands of young children dying from COVID-19"

"BRASÍLIA (CNN) - The COVID-19 crisis in Brazil has yielded a troubling trend; an alarming number of deaths in kids and adolescents.


Brazil recently reached half a million COVID-19 deaths, which is second only to the U.S.


Experts are warning that number is quickly rising, and one research group says close to 3,000 of those deaths were children under the age of 10.


Little Sarah Gois was born this January in Brazil in the midst of a ravaging pandemic.


Her 22-year old mother, naturally besotted with her precious princess.


But even an abundance of love was not enough to stop her daughter from contracting COVID-19.


“I thought it was something I had done, maybe I passed on the virus," Sameque Gois, mother of child who died of COVID-19 said. "I knew that the only thing I could do was to get on my knees and pray."


Despite all her pleas, little Sarah died. She was only 5 months old.

Just finished reading a New Yorker magazine article posted online today saying that Delta variant is a disaster coming down the tracks for the unvaccinated, and those people who have only received one vaccine dose are not well protected.


There are parts of the world where a much smaller percentage of their population has been vaccinated, and another wave is heading their way soon, including those US states that have fully opened while a large portion of their population has refused to get vaccinated.

I have 35 members on this site on ignore, including a number so far in this thread, out of over 100,000 Rx members. So i often don't even see what they post, because those who are on the ignore function have their posts' messages hidden (unless i choose to click "View Post" or remove them from the user ignore list).


Thankfully i have a number of guys here on ignore now, so i often don't even read or see the nonsense, lies & false accusations they post anymore. Their accusations are much more likely to be true of themselves & the truth is much more likely to be the opposite of what they accuse.


Anyone wanting to see me expose their errors can search out my older posts and threads.

It's not a claim, it's a fact. Are you even clued in to how the system works? Or just another covidiot idiot. lol


Those i have on Rx user ignore have their posts hidden until if & whenever i feel like clicking a button that lets me see their post, i.e. whenever i'm in the mood to read, reply to & expose the garbage they post. Otherwise i can read threads blissfully without seeing any of their shit when i don't feel like seeing it. Get it now, or does this probably go way, way, way over your covidiot head.

In case i don't return to look at this thread again, it will be because of time constraints & the responses are generally not worth my time, anyway, in this forum, IOW they're garbage, yes, -5000 for the limit, lol

[FONT=&quot]"Delta coronavirus variant: scientists brace for impact[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The rapid rise of the highly transmissible strain in the United Kingdom has put countries in Europe, North America and Africa on watch.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When the first cases of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant were detected in the United Kingdom in mid-April, the nation was getting ready to open up. COVID-19 case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths were plummeting, thanks to months of lockdown and one of the world’s fastest vaccination programmes. Two months later, the variant, which was first detected in India, has catalysed a third UK wave and forced the government to delay the full reopening of society it had originally slated for 21 June.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After observing the startlingly swift rise of the Delta variant in the United Kingdom, other countries are bracing for the variant’s impact — if they aren’t feeling it already. Nations with ample access to vaccines, such as those in Europe and North America, are hopeful that the shots can dampen the inevitable rise of Delta. But in countries without large vaccine stocks, particularly in Africa, some scientists worry that the variant could be devastating.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“In my mind, it will be really hard to keep out this variant,” says Tom Wenseleers, an evolutionary biologist and biostatistician at the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium. “It’s very likely it will take over altogether on a worldwide basis.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Delta, also known as B.1.617.2, belongs to a viral lineage first identified in India during a ferocious wave of infections there in April and May. The lineage grew rapidly in some parts of the country, and showed signs of partial resistance to vaccines. But it was difficult for researchers to disentangle these intrinsic properties of the variant from other factors driving India’s confirmed cases past 400,000 per day, such as mass gatherings.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Delta data[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Delta variant has been linked to a resurgence of COVID-19 in Nepal, southeast Asia and elsewhere, but its UK spread has given scientists a clear picture of the threat it poses. Delta seems to be around 60% more transmissible than the already highly infectious Alpha variant (also called B.1.1.7) identified in the United Kingdom in late 2020.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Delta is moderately resistant to vaccines, particularly in people who have received just a single dose. A Public Health England study published on 22 May found that a single dose of either AstraZeneca's or Pfizer's vaccine reduced a person’s risk of developing COVID-19 symptoms caused by the Delta variant by 33%, compared to 50% for the Alpha variant. A second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine boosted protection against Delta to 60% (compared to 66% against Alpha), while two doses of Pfizer’s jab were 88% effective (compared to 93% against Alpha).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Preliminary evidence from England and Scotland suggests that people infected with Delta are about twice as likely to end up in hospital, compared with those infected with Alpha.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“The data coming out of the UK is so good, that we have a really good idea about how the Delta variant is behaving,” says Mads Albertsen, a bioinformatician at Aalborg University in Denmark. “That’s been an eye-opener.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Denmark, which, like the United Kingdom, is a world leader in genomic surveillance, has also seen a steady rise in cases caused by the Delta variant — although far fewer than most other European countries. It is only a matter of time before the variant becomes dominant in Denmark, says Albertsen, but the hope is that its expansion can be slowed through vaccination, surveillance and enhanced contact tracing. “It’s going to take over,” he says, but “hopefully in a few months and not too soon.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Meanwhile, the Danish government is easing restrictions, not re-imposing them: restaurants and bars have been open for months to individuals who have been vaccinated or received a recent negative test, and, as of 14 June, masks are no longer required in most indoor settings. “It is looking good now in Denmark, and we are keeping a close eye on the Delta variant,” says Albertsen. “It can change quite fast, as it has done in the UK.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Cases of the Delta variant in the United Kingdom are doubling roughly every 11 days. But countries with ample vaccine stocks should be reassured by the slower uptick in hospital admissions, says Wenseleers. A recent Public Health England study1 found that people who have had one vaccine dose are 75% less likely to be hospitalized, compared with unvaccinated individuals, and those who are fully protected are 94% less likely to be hospitalized.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]US spread[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Delta is also on the rise in the United States, particularly in the Midwest and southeast. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared it a variant of concern on 15 June.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] But patchy surveillance means the picture there is less clear. According to nationwide sampling conducted by the genomics company Helix in San Mateo, California, Delta is rising fast. Using a rapid genotyping test, the company has found that the proportion of cases caused by Alpha fell from more than 70% in late April to around 42% as of mid-June, with the rise of Delta driving much of the shift2.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Jeremy Kamil, a virologist at Louisiana State University Health in Shreveport, expects Delta to eventually become dominant in the United States, “but to be somewhat blunted by vaccination”. However, vast disparities in vaccination rates could lead to regional and local variation in cases and hospitalizations caused by Delta, says Jennifer Surtees, a biochemist at the University at Buffalo, New York, who is conducting regional surveillance.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]She notes that 70% of eligible New Yorkers have received at least one dose of vaccine — a milestone that triggered the lifting of most COVID-19 restrictions last week — but that figure is below 40% in some parts of the state. Communities with high proportions of African American and Hispanic individuals, where vaccination rates tend to be low, could be especially hard hit by Delta. “These are populations that are really at risk of a localized outbreak from Delta, so I think it’s really important to still keep tracking and watch this as much as possible,” Surtees says.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Data from Helix2 on nearly 20,000 samples sequenced since April suggest that the Delta variant is spreading faster in US counties where less than 30% of residents have been fully vaccinated, compared to the counties with vaccination rates above that threshold.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Africa at risk[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Delta poses the biggest risk, scientists say, to countries that have limited access to vaccines, particularly those in Africa, where most nations have vaccinated less than 5% of their populations. “The vaccines will never come in time,” says Wenseleers. “If these kinds of new variant arrive, it can be very devastating.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Surveillance in African countries is extremely limited, but there are hints that the variant is already causing cases there to surge. Several sequences of the variant have been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where an outbreak in the capital city of Kinshasa has filled hospitals. The variant has also been detected in Malawi, Uganda and South Africa.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Countries that have close economic links to India, such as those in East Africa, are probably at the greatest risk of seeing a surge in cases caused by Delta, says Tulio de Oliveira, a bioinformatician and director of the KwaZulu-Natal Research and Innovation Sequencing Platform in Durban, South Africa. In his country, all of the Delta cases have been detected in shipping crews at commercial ports, with no signs yet of spread in the general community.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]De Oliveira expects it to stay this way. South Africa is in the middle of a third wave of infections caused by the Beta variant (also known as B.1.351) identified there last year. This, combined with a lack travel from countries affected by Delta, should make it harder for a new variant to take hold.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Similar factors could be keeping Delta at bay in Brazil, which is battling another immune-evading variant called P.1, or Gamma, says Gonzalo Bello, a virologist at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute in Rio de Janeiro, who is part of a team conducting national surveillance. So far, Brazil has sequenced just four cases of the Delta variant in the country.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While countries gird themselves against the Delta variant — or hope that it passes them by — researchers say we need to watch for even greater threats. “What most people are concerned about are the next variants — if we start to see variants that can really challenge the vaccines,” says Albertsen.[/FONT]
