#COVID-19 Data Visualization to Clearly See the Pandemic Forest from the Corona Trees!

This is probably the best visualization tool for all the Data related to Covid 19.

#Venezuela is so far behind sourcing #Covid19 #Vaccines that it could be 2023 or later before herd immunity could be achieved

Utter disaster, as to be expected...

More than any other nation in the Western Hemisphere, this broken socialist state might need a miracle to defeat the novel coronavirus

From the Washington Post:

Neutralize the coronavirus without a single side effect! No needle? No problem! Just a few drops of the magic liquid under the tongue every four hours and it’s goodbye lockdown, hello good health.

“From Venezuela to the world,” Nicolás Maduro declared in a national address, unveiling two shimmering vials of Carvativir.

Venezuelan medical professionals now say that Maduro’s “miracle drops” — which he pledged would rapidly go into mass production — are actually an extract of the herb thyme, used in homeopathic therapies and ordinary cooking.

Yet one aspect of the marketing blitz did ring true. More than any other nation in the Western Hemisphere, this broken socialist state might need a miracle to defeat the novel coronavirus.

Venezuela is so far behind in sourcing vaccines that analysts say it could be 2023 or later before it acquires enough to achieve herd immunity. That places it in the bottom rung of nations — alongside authoritarian peers North Korea, Syria and Myanmar — 

Maduro’s government missed a critical deadline last month to buy into a World Health Organization-linked vaccine program designed to help developing nations obtain supplies of coronavirus vaccine. Paolo Balladelli, the WHO’s Venezuela chief, tweeted Tuesday that the country still can get up to 2.4 million doses — a decent start for a country of 28.5 million — if it buys into the program by Tuesday.

#China Beat Back Covid-19, but It’s Come at a Cost—Growing #Inequality

"Wei He, an analyst at Gavekal Research, estimates that China's bottom 60% of households lost about $200 billion in income during the first half of 2020."

Yet at the same time, 

"China added 145 new bil­lionaires be­tween the start of 2019 and July 2020, ac­cord­ing to a re­port by UBS Group AG and Price­wa­ter­house­C­oop­ers LLP. A rank­ing of Chi­na's rich­est in­di­vid­u­als, re­leased this week by the Hu­run Re­search In­sti­tute, found 2,398 peo­ple had wealth of at least 2 bil­lion yuan, the equiv­a­lent of about $300 mil­lion, in 2020—up 32% on the pre­vi­ous year. Chi­na's rich­est co­hort gained more wealth this year than in any other in the Hu­run list's 22-year his­tory, bol­stered by a stock-mar­ket boom and a wave of new list­ings."

Everyone’s Asking, How Long Does #COVID19 #Antibodies #Immunity Last?

In recent studies, we have seen declining antibodies in people infected with Covid 19. While this decline in antibodies seems troubling, it is hardly catastrophic according to virologists throughout the world:


"It's not unusual to have fading antibody response after several months. The drop-off isn't that surprising. When you look at something like the smallpox vaccine, you see the antibody response is down about 75 percent after six months. But that's a vaccine that works for decades.
