TL;DR key points
India's health system is collapsing as Covid variant sweeps country: Gravediggers burn piles of victims to keep up and crematorium furnaces MELT due to round-the-clock use
- More than 200,000 cases per day recorded on average in the last week, 20 times as many as two months ago
- UK banned travel from India Monday but acted 'weeks too late' as more than 100 in Britain have Indian strain
- New Indian Covid-19 variant has two mutations which scientists fear could enable it to evade vaccines
- This B.1.617 variant is believed to spread more easily and could potentially be more lethal than other strains
- Medics across India say patients are significantly younger than in first wave, with two thirds under-45 in Delhi
- Young people experiencing 'increased severity' doctors say, particularly on their lungs, heart and kidneys
For people who are getting the vaccine, are you gonna get it every year?
45% of people get their yearly flu shots, I can't really see the rona vax being too much higher than that once enthusiasm wanes in a year or two
Also, if we're really in any kinda "race against time" to get everyone vaccinated to avoid mutation then that seems pretty futile to me. Even if we beat the clock, countries like India/Brazil and even some parts of Europe won't so it'll just hit the shore anyway.

It's too early to know if it will be needed every year.
As for VOC, no one can see the future and what they will be.
And re vaccination percentages, if the threat is great enough large numbers will get it annually, e.g. even in the USA 69% intend to get it for covid, up from 60% late last year. You may have to if you want to travel, etc, and who wants lockdowns to last forever.
[h=1]Only "32 vaccinated Brits were hospitalised with Covid-19 out of almost 75,000 people"[/h]
"Scientists said the findings show the efficacy of vaccines, which offer protection from severe disease.
The research found that out of 74,405 people who were admitted to hospital with Covid-19 between September and March, only 32 had received a vaccine at least three weeks before.
The findings were related to those who received just one jab, The Telegraph reports.
Meanwhile, other studies are ongoing to examine the level of protection people have after receiving two doses of a Covid vaccine.
Researcher Professor Calum Semple, from the University of Liverpool, said he was "absolutely delighted" with the results of the study.
He added that it shows that "vaccines are highly effective".
He said: "Not only do they work, but they work extraordinarily well."
Detailed results are due to be handed to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) on Wednesday.
With more details, it will be clear whether those who were admitted to hospital with Covid-19 after receiving a vaccine had milder symptoms than those who had not had a jab.
The total number of people who have received at least the first dose of a vaccine between December 8 and April 19 in the UK is 33,032,120, according to official government data.
After receiving their first jab, 10,425,790 have already been given a second dose of a vaccine.
For the first time since September, the latest figures showed fewer than 2,000 Covid-19 patients in hospital.
The positive news comes as coronavirus deaths dropped two thirds in a month with 33 fatalities recorded in the past 24 hours.
A further 2,524 cases were reported as Britain's infection rate continues to remain steady.
But despite the progress made by the vaccination programme and the lower number of infections and deaths, Boris Johnson said Covid restrictions will not be lifted sooner than outlined in his roadmap.
The Prime Minister acknowledged soaring cases in other countries and warnings from scientists that there will be another wave this year.
Mr Johnson told a Downing Street press conference: "We know that this vaccination programme is making a big difference.
"We know that it’s helping to reduce suffering and save lives, potentially on a very big scale.
"But we don’t yet know the full extent of the protection that we are building up; the exact strength of our defences – and as we look at what is happening in other countries with cases now at record numbers around the world, we cannot delude ourselves that Covid has gone away."

A 99.9% chance you'll be fine = 1 in 1000 chance you'll be dead. Anyone stupid enough to play that kind of Russian Roulette with their life?

I have 34 members on this site on ignore, including most so far in this thread, out of over 100,000 Rx members. So i seldom 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 seldom 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.
