Looks as though there is a surge of infections in South Asia.
Am much impressed however as looks like India has already vaccinated more than 80 million people. So there must be lots of efforts, but maybe not enough relative to their over the billion population number. Still a great example for South Africa to watch. South Africa has not even got to 300,000 vaccinations yet. It still hasn't completed vaccination of all of the health workers yet. Let's see what is going to happen during this month.
The United States is trending in that same direction where as yesterday we had 76K new cases recorded. This thing has been so politicized instead of being treated as a health crisis and that's why we own 23% of the global cases and 19% of the global deaths. I think we have nearly the 200 Million doses administered that President Biden wanted within his first 100 days, but I know people first hand who are refusing to get vaccinated.
