A former colleague of mine had news from Australia that her father is in hospital from pneumonia.

Two days of frantic calls later, she arranged an emergency flight, paying through the nose in business class.

She got to Australia and started a mandatory quarantine. On day 2, she tested positive. She's now in hospital, despite being double vaccinated.

Pfizer offers the highest protection I think, but this Delta variant just rips through everything.


We're back to 5k - 10k positive tests daily. Going straight for the moon.

Our government has apologized for the mess

You guys remember how Spain was the poster-boy for massive corona spread in the past?

They had a peak of 33,000 at one point.


Today?



+43,960

I do remember that when they were the poster boy for massive corona, they peaked at 1000 deaths/day.

Is she in the hospital due to it being absolutely dire, or is this just how quarantine is handled in Australia?

The woke Bij1 party is not a group I support but credit where credit is due.
They tabled a motion to ask the government to stop the herd immunity or 'controlled spread' strategy and change course.

All other parties voted against, Mark Rutte called it "rude and uncivilized"
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E6UfWADXsAIg63l?format=jpg&name=medium

Rest of the debate on the sudden COVID and failing government policy was what you'd expect.
Questions about Rutte's ties with Klaus Schwab and the Great Reset from my bois, Wilders saying the government failed but also not to panic.
Lies from Rutte and the health minister again displaying how incompetent he is as he explained what he was doing.
Other parties mostly worried about disinformation and technicalities not the question of how these two clowns are still running this.

At this point nobody else wants the health ministers job though, so he'll remain in his post. As will Rutte and now everyone will continue their summer vacation.

We do have one change in strategy though, more than a year after most of us figured this out the government will emphasize ventilation with a new icon in their communication, apart from washing hands, distancing and testing.

I wonder what the floods in Limburg will do with the cases though, people huddled up inside can't be good.

As the southern border region floods, 12k new positive tests reported today.
Avg. positive tests now at ~15%. No change in government policy other than closing clubs and allowing bars and pubs to open until midnight.

UK at 27,989 today

Spain doubled in like 4 days - Euro effect?

Indonesia posting all time highs for the country, +24,836, which is actually quite low for their population size. Could easily hit 100k+ in 10 days if theyre not careful.

Pleased to report Indonesia has only reached 54,000 new cases today and not my predicted 100k.

 :playa


UK hot on the heels at +51,870 today

Italy doing remarkably well at just +2,898...but still 2x a few days ago

The Mexico graph looks identical to UK, just a couple of weeks behind. +12,821 today

The Netherlands graph is unique in its steepness. Like you all had an orgy or something

Florida reported  +7,011 yesterday which means theyre on their way to 10k+ daily

The Eurofins laboratory test results have been delayed due to the large numbers of tests. The GGD Hollands Midden therefore misses results.
 Don't have a result yet? Reaching out to our call center is useless. We will provide the results as soon as they are in.

Testing can't keep up with demand, the numbers will be astronomical over the next few days.

Lab leak was always a possibly.  There are hundreds if not thousands of unintentional lab leaks per year.  Biowarfare was probably what they should have ruled out early, the intentional leaking of a deadly virus.

Now even the WHO is asking China to cooperate with the investigation and provide data instead of not giving data or falsifying data.

Anyhow China is not really hiding what it is doing. They won't close the so called 'wet markets' but they will open 35 more virus 'research' labs.
By all accounts Wuhan was a big success for them. Took the wind out of Trump's sails just as he was about to steamroll the Democrats, ended all domestic and Hong Kong protests, made Europe, India, Russia and the US significantly weaker and was overall a boon for their economy.

If they manage to become the dominant super power (and all signs point to that they could achieve this), historians will mark the COVID-19 outbreak as the turning point in Chinese dominance.

Canada just passed the US in fully vaccinated per cap.  We are about 15% ahead for the first dose only, which is a very good sign of compliance.  Ontario will be under restrictions at least until August but by then it should have 80% of the first dose and 75% with both.  Overall Ontario has averaged 150 new cases per day this week, which puts us at about the same levels we had last year right before the second wave.

Excuse me?
This is pretty much as close to an admission that it was a lab-leak as we're going to get, right?

I mean, the WHO have completely dropped the ball on this from day dot. To admit the theory that they dismissed as conspiracy is actually correct would decimate their tiny shreds of remaining credibility and show that they are beholden to an authoritarian dictatorship that lies, cheats, murders and commits genocide.

It wasn't a leak. It was an attack and then they covered the whole thing up. We know from the Fauci emails how far they went in that effort.

You had mainstream media telling everyone it was just a flu and accusing people who weren't too happy with Chinese tourists of racism.
They freaked out when Trump shut down air traffic with Europe but by then China had made sure it had already spread as fast and wide as possible.

If I was running Taiwan I would buy some Russian nukes before the Olympics start.
Same with Hong Kong. Just detonate a nuke when the reds come. Better to go out in a blaze of glory than be loaded onto trains to be enslaved and killed.

It will be clear that new restrictions are needed. Will places like Florida look at 15k daily cases and go on like normal? Will politicians have the guts to make the hard calls?

So today is freedom day (lolz) in the UK. All restrictions (whatever meager ones, which were never remotely enforced anyway, remained) are officially lifted (lololz). TFL still requesting face masks though, until further notice, as it seems they're not utterly mad yet.

So now even night clubs are A-OK.

But wait. The government has a great plan.

Today the press corps asked Psaki why Biden wouldn't enlist the help of Trump to help more people get vaccinated. And she started a monologue about their data showing other ways would be more effective or some such.
Sean Hannity also implored his viewers to get vaccinated (he probably realized they were literally dying).
I think asking Trump is a Catch 22 though, if they ask Trump to make a statement on behalf of the WH, than they probably think Trump is doing it under threat or pressure or some such.
If he does it without WH involvement he probably puts out another sort of 'yes get vaccinated but the news is fake anyway' statement which doesn't move things along either.

I wonder if most of those people were already anti-vax before Trump came along (maybe for religious reasons) and they've jumped to the wrong conclusions.

In Holland most hold-overs are mostly among the immigrants, who
A) don't trust the government and stick to their own communities/mosques
B) think the jews are somehow involved
C) want to get it but can't because their husbands don't allow it

They've started a community outreach campaign but progress is slow.
The second biggest group is probably the life coaches / yoga ladies who think it's bad for their balance, karma and fertililty.
And finally there's the boomers on Facebook but I think when it comes down to it they got it anyway in between complaining about micro chips.

It's sort of weird how the conspiracy nut stereotype of a dude with a beard living in a trailer park wearing a tinfoil hat while looking for UFO's has completely changed.

I think asking Trump is a Catch 22 though, if they ask Trump to make a statement on behalf of the WH, than they probably think Trump is doing it under threat or pressure or some such.
If he does it without WH involvement he probably puts out another sort of 'yes get vaccinated but the news is fake anyway' statement which doesn't move things along either.

I wonder if most of those people were already anti-vax before Trump came along (maybe for religious reasons) and they've jumped to the wrong conclusions.

In Holland most hold-overs are mostly among the immigrants, who
A) don't trust the government and stick to their own communities/mosques
B) think the jews are somehow involved
C) want to get it but can't because their husbands don't allow it

They've started a community outreach campaign but progress is slow.
The second biggest group is probably the life coaches / yoga ladies who think it's bad for their balance, karma and fertililty.
And finally there's the boomers on Facebook but I think when it comes down to it they got it anyway in between complaining about micro chips.

It's sort of weird how the conspiracy nut stereotype of a dude with a beard living in a trailer park wearing a tinfoil hat while looking for UFO's has completely changed.
I used to work in the state Department of Health in multicultural health. Mainstream health messages are not as effective in most migrant communities because of various reasons, not least an imported distrust of government/health care and issues with language.

We've seen it here with the current outbreak in Sydney and the previous outbreak in Melbourne. Those two outbreaks really got going once they hit recent migrant communities.

Unfortunately, multicultural health is one of the first areas to get cut when budgets are tight and also one of the last considerations when designing public health campaigns, despite being an area where there is the most need for effective engagement and communication.

Same shit, different day/country.
