"hospitalisation & deaths are down" ... "no deaths in Portugal" ... Meanwhile back on planet earth:
The coronavirus variant first discovered in India could potentially be up to 100% more transmissible than the Kent version, a leading epidemiologist has warned. Professor Neil Ferguson said that early data around the variant - which has been renamed 'Delta' by the World Health Organization - has placed the increased transmissibility anywhere between 30% and 100%, thought the current best estimate is 60%. Prof Ferguson, who is a member of the government's New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said the signs were "pointing in a more negative direction" and that caution is needed around any easing of restrictions across the UK in the coming days.
I understand the need for people to get out and about and enjoy life but the old adage "better is a live dog than a dead lion" comes to mind. We need an effective therapeutic more than ever, vaccines alone are not going to do the trick.
Enjoy the sun everyone ... Mafuta
