Are you saying your friend has had the ZF2001 vaccine as that's a Chinese made vaccine? Hope he gets better soon, that must be a nightmare
Google “Israel” and “covid”.
Incredible data from Israel (so far).
Isn't that all Pfizer?
Isn't the Brazilian variant making things worse there.. and presumably in Chile?
Israel has the SA variant and vaccines (yes, all Pfizer) seems to be working ok against it.Less effective than against “original covid” but still effective.
Nice try, 'continuing to be super spreaders' as if it's a proven fact that they were. They will obviously have contributed to infection rates, as has all contact whether through family, work, travel, or meeting socially, but there is just no data at all to call children super spreaders, however much people might want there to be.Tweet

first dose or second?
First
That’s grim but those stats on outcomes could be driven by hospitals/ICUs getting overwhelmed rather than a property of the virus. Patients getting admitted to ICUs later and sicker than they did when there was less pressure for resources.
That's a mental read.
Oh fantastic, I was wondering when the pandemic would reveal it’s darker side.
Haven't read into greatly but Brazil are currently out of oxygen and hospitals are full you would expect a similar outcome no matter what the variant of Covid.
Shit, I knew they were still cutting the amazon down but I didn't realise it was that bad.
Shame it isn't the president
The cure for covid -19 might be in the Amazon, like the cure for everything else!A bit late to this, but yes this has a dramatic impact. Here in SA, extrapolating the number of cases from the mortality rate seen in some provinces during the second wave would imply an infection rate of well over 100% in these provinces. So this clearly implies a higher mortality rate for these provinces (generally the poorer and less resourced ones). Given the SA variant was the majority of cases in SA, it's unlikely the provinces had a higher mortality rate due to the variant but rather due to lack of resources.
It's shocking. The actions/inactions of one man have single-handedly caused the deaths of so many people, and there's no end in sight.
I would not be surprised if Bolsonaro faces legal consequences after his term ends. Other world leaders have also been callous or inactive in the face of the pandemic, but few have undermined their own authorities efforts like he has, fighting lockdowns ever step of the way.
Absolutely mind blowing. Is he an anti-vaxxer or just plain stupid? Surely it can’t be politics because the people will vote him out on this one issue
He is basically Trump on steroids. Far right, really stupid and believes in economy before all else, whether it be the deaths of his people, the amazon getting destroyed, whatever. He's a complete loon. It's sad that corruption had gotten so bad in Brazil that they felt their best choice was to elect this horrible excuse for a human being.
I used to date a Brazilian girl, they really are the best people.
Im erring towards I doubt so this year
I'd suggest looking at summer cottages in Cornwall.
Worrying thing is there is still a year until the election. So Brazil are stuck with him until then
He’s in NI, so an old fashioned holiday in portrush or an Antrim cottage
June 2027 I assume you mean?I think we'll be finding out one way or another. This week is going to get a bit rowdy.
The pandemic won't be over in a the sense the virus is still effectively running wild on a global basis. But at least in the UK - based on current variants we know about - I think we're already at the stage where the virus isn't going to cause enough trouble to justify lockdowns and the most onerous of social distancing rules.
I think it's a wait and see moment. Israel has seen really good results from vaccination. Chile and the USA aren't really seeing much in terms of case rates falling and even the daily deaths numbers aren't looking that convincing.
Not for me! I've been teetotal since February 2020 and I plan to hold off until at least the summer. Plus, I'd absolutely hate the crowds we're inevitably going to get this week. I want normality rather than a big event.
