Thank you China

Nobody is dying again in Nigeria from that disease. Average Daily recorded Infections has always been under 400. We are not doing anything special.

I think it's Armageddon.

In India increase in infection is sticking remarkably closely to a smooth exponential curve indicating any attempts at containment have proved virtually completely ineffective

Nobody can make the virus daily spike like donald trump. He is working on 200 thousand American deaths as his publically promise. He has created the US as the FU country to keep people out. F.U if you come to US as trump's words in his campaign.

So has the US cases. We are still at the beginning of the covid crisis. So many people around the world are not taking it seriously. Do the math. What is 5% of 7 billion? That's a best case scenario if we don't stop it now.

12 million cases in a world of 8 BILLION. For this, we shut down the world's economy? Insane.

It's only a shy beginning....wait till things REALLY heat up !!!✔

So... that vaccine... how many doses are they intending to manufacture? 🤔 ... And distribution plans? 🤔 ... We're all just stuck with this thing, aren't we?

One quarter of all known cases are in America. Well done Trump

COVID-19 pandemic in Africa is now reaching 'full speed'Just a day after confirmed virus cases across Africa surpassed the half-million milestone the total was over 522,000 and climbing, with more than 12,000 deaths. With testing levels low, the real numbers are unknown. I bet this spike was after they started test vaccinating people.

After vigorous monsoon rains, crop planting gathers pace in IndiaIndian farmers have planted 12 million hectares with summer-sown rice, preliminary farm ministry data for this year showed, up 25% from last year as robust monsoon rains encouraged the expansion of acreage. Hope that with those harvests none starves in India. Unlikely just like in USA & West. Wrong people have money everywhere incl China. It is wealth & it's distribution behind all misery in the world. No doubt capitalism behind inequality & starvation! Capitalism to continue! Indians obsession with whiteness is further exacerbated with the cast system. People use cremes to whitened their skins because they think that white is better and that is because of the legacy of colonialism. They aren’t 6 feet apart or wearing masks....
