Not any more, India is now reporting 226 deaths per million, a lot of reports suggest it could be 10 times that, which would put them some way ahead of the UK.

The bodies floating down the Ganges is an indicator of how badly India has suffered.

On holiday once, the waiter brought wine and offered it to me to taste. I said yep it was all good, but he clearly didn't trust my judgement as he then poured himself a little taster, to be on the safe side

So, I really want to hear that vaccine lady gave herself a smidgen of Law Boy's jab too

Were you in hibernation that year? It was seismic at the time!

ETA: I am depressed to see that it was 15 years ago- I feel so old…- so you get a pass if you were a nipper in 2006.

Seriously though, it was epic. We were on holiday in a small Greek town at the time, and tourists and locals alike were watching it live in the TVs of all the town’s restaurants and tabernas like it was the World Cup final

Remembering when Lordi won Eurovision and took monsters to the…

Fifteen years ago, Finland’s monster-metallers Lordi won Eurovision. This is the story of how it happened, the impact it had on the band, and what it meant for the world’s biggest music show…

I cannot believe its 15 years ago.

Well..that flew...

TBH I got to the end of the summary and only realised it was satire when I saw it was from the onion. I wouldn't put anything past these fruitcakes now.

 

[Storm Fox]

With Newsthump, I'll often read the satire and then work backward to the original story, which is often, depressingly, not that different from the original

Maths isn't her strong point it seems. It's difficult to tell if some of these are spoofs though - surely people can't be that stupid.

If you put the whole thing in context I think its likely that its simply lazy writing and she omitted the words "cases in"

OR more people are getting vaccinated causing an increase in vaccine shedding which is INFECTIOUS.

 

[kabbes]

If I’m giving the benefit of the doubt, I think it’s saying that people who have received vaccinations are less cautious (because they personally are safer). There is therefore more virus knocking about, which makes things more dangerous for the unvaccinated.

It may be that this is true. We were initially hopeful that the vaccines would prevent spread and thus eliminate the disease. It seems that the delta variant at least, however, has a good number of days even in vaccinated people during which it can be passed on. It is believable that behavioural change in the vaccinated more than compensates for the reduced transmissibility, such that the risk to the unvaccinated has gone up rather than down.

If only there was a way the unvaccinated could lessen their risk

I am absolutely 100% pro vaccination and always have been - for everything from Smallpox to BCG to MMR to my god they have an HPV vaccine now, isn't that wonderful?!

But not everyone can have a vaccine. - due to health issues such as severe allergies and other auto-immune conditions. It is on the people who CAN have it to get vaccinated to help provide some protection for those who can't. Not to shame those who really can't get a vaccination for health reasons.
