COVID-19 News, Info, Discussion /// Tracking the Spread of the Virus and its Effects /// October Lockdown for UK (pg. 774)

does anyone know when or if INDIA tried to start vaccinating its ppl? man has a tendency to think he is smarter than Mother Nature. did we in fact make this situation there worse? history may show that.

in the movies,pandemics hit fast. by the time anyone realizes an outbreak started,it is everywhere almost instantly.obviously,this 1 has not been as deadly and has spread much slower. INDIA looks like what most ppl expect.

the fear in INDIA is what govern's around the world have been trying to avoid. that fear cripples society and shuts down all functions quickly.not sure if the public here will wait til the deaths are piling or if the explosion of sicknesses is enuf to cause the fear and panic. remember many have the shot. they think they are immune and safe. if ppl start hearing of others that were vaccinarted getting severely sick,that might scare them awake.

i don't think u need toinfect the whole country either. take down 1 or 2 cities with an outbreak and the dominoes fall. the internet would spread workd faster than any MSM has ever done. losing a port city stops impoprts causing shortages.losing a state capital strangles the state. 1 city going down,the state will seal its own borders ,F DC.
lose 1,just 1, hospital to med workers getting sick and that news will get out.

up til now they got ppl to believe it was really old ppl getting badly sick and dying.even retired ppl aren't worried. they aren't old enuf to be affected.infect a few working age-30-40's.SHTF.

problem the US faces and many nations most likely is the virus did nothing yet. they see wave 1 and 2 or 3 of flu.now they are vaccinated and back running around.they have no clue what is going on in BRAZI*L or INDIA. til it is in their towns.too late by then.

this is all a cry wolf scene. til the wolf shows up and eats the town.

I am baffled that the rest of the world can't see the likelihood of this spreading worldwide, again. Some countries may fare substantially better due to stronger infrastructure, but we are up against a new and worse wave and it seems almost nobody is prepared.

Of course it is going to spread and it is already - quietly growing in the background of falling/flattening cases.

The difference from a year ago is amazing. I remember in the UK every case found being reported in the press. They must know whats happening.

The situation in India is pretty much what we all expected to happen at the beginning - its just taken a couple of waves to get to this point.

If this goes worldwide we will have a 1918 situation.

So we have Matt Hancocks throw away quote...

But he told the Commons: “The biggest risk to our progress here in the UK is a new variant that the vaccine does not work as well.”

And...

the health secretary, has warned that he cannot give any assurances that the current vaccines the UK has against Covid-19 will be as effective against the new variant of the virus which originated in India....

Any studies out there on the efficacy against the Indian variant?
