wealthy governments race to lock in supplies of Covid-19 vaccines, nearly a quarter of the world’s population — mostly in low and middle-income countries — will not have access to a shot until 2022, according to a new analysis.
As of mid-November, high income countries, including the European Union bloc, reserved 51% of nearly 7.5 billion doses of different Covid-19 vaccines, although these countries comprise just 14% of the world’s population. Meanwhile, only six of the 13 manufacturers working on Covid-19 vaccine candidates have reached agreements to sell their shots to low and middle-income countries.

A new forecast from the University of Washington's pandemic forecasting team is frightening.
More than 430,000 Americans have already died in the pandemic, and even if the entire population started doing everything right -- wearing masks, avoiding gatherings, staying two arms' lengths away from one another -- the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predicts at least 130,000 more people would die in the next three months.
130k more deaths in next 3 months
thx to rump and the rumplickers

438,799 Americans have SUFFERED horribly, then DIED, from the virus trump and his accomplices downplayed and allowed to proliferate throughout the nation.
Millions more SUFFERED illness, sometimes very severe, but survived.
trump-regime incompetence and criminal negligence has now killed more Americans than were lost during all of WWII, Iraq, Afghanistan, 9/11 combined

Recovered Covid-19 patients could still get reinfected
Even for those who have been infected with coronavirus, there is a "very high rate" of re-infection if the new variants become dominant, Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
"We need to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can," "Even though there is a diminished protection against the variants, there's enough protection to prevent you from getting serious disease, including hospitalization and deaths."
