If Fauci suggests something the best course of action is to do the exact opposite.

TOPLINE
Israel clocked just 13 new cases of Covid-19 on Saturday—the lowest number of daily cases in 14 months—as the country continues to reap the benefits of its world-leading vaccine rollout.

KEY FACTS
The Israeli Health Ministry reported Sunday morning that a record low of the over 9,236 tests carried out Saturday came back positive.
This brings the country’s overall test positivity rate to just over 0.1%, the lowest since the start of the pandemic last March.
The U.S., by contrast, saw nearly 4% of its over 1.1 million tests given on Saturday come back positive, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, as it continues to report an average of nearly 50,000 new cases each day.
PROMOTED



Israel’s new cases and deaths have been steeply declining since the start of this year, with the country reporting an average of 1.9 deaths and 82 new cases each day over the past week.
The Health Ministry said 102 patients are currently in serious condition (with 62 intubated), a decrease of roughly 92% from when the pandemic was at its peak.
BIG NUMBER
6,363. That’s how many Israelis have died from Covid-19.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
While Covid-19 is currently under control in Israel, the virus is still running rampant in Palestine, despite a recent decline. The occupied West Bank and Gaza recorded an average of 1,132 new cases and 17 deaths each day over the past week. Israel has faced criticism for largely neglecting the 5 million Palestinians living in the territories, despite its responsibility for Palestinian health as the occupying power.
KEY BACKGROUND
Israel has been widely recognized for running one of the most successful vaccine rollouts in the world. According to The New York Times’s vaccine tracker, the country comes second only to the small east African nation of Seychelles in terms of the proportion of residents vaccinated. A majority (56%) of Israel’s 9 million residents have been fully vaccinated, while 60% have received at least one shot of the jab. Israel has largely returned to normal life, with outdoor mask requirements lifted. Because of its success in battling the virus—which at its peak infected over 10,000 people and killed nearly 100 in one day—Israel has not yet fully reopened its borders. The country announced in mid-April that it will begin to welcome back some tourist groups from May 23, though “health considerations” will determine the travel “schedule.” The coronavirus variant wreaking havoc in India is causing some concern among Israeli health officials as they have identified at least 41 cases of the mutated strain.

they can't do lockdown properly. it would not provide the desired effect. do learn from China.

A million dead is one million less coming over. Nothing bad

Unfortunately that is not the case because for every one million that die more than twice that number are born.

The thing is India's incompetence and corruptions has become global problems.

In opening our legs to CECA and refusal to cut off all links with india, what was previously India's problems will become our headaches.

Again, with the sociopathic tendencies. You do realize at some point in your past something went wrong for you? It is not normal to be so cavalier about the global Pandemic as it reflects your damaged inner pysche.

Are you not tired of the pretending? Of the deflection? Of blaming others for your problems?

None of this will help you and it further pushes you into the dark abyss you find yourself in

Israel was not badly affected even without the vaccine.
But now even thise vaccinated, the media are saying its of no use due to all kinds of new emerging strains.

COVID-19: Expect a million deaths in India by August 1
India’s COVID-19 cases are 20 times more than officially declared


NEXT NEWS ❯

Published: Tuesday 27 April 2021


The death toll from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in India will be 959,561 by August 1, 2021, according to latest projection by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). With an estimated global toll of 5,050,464, India would account for nearly a fifth of the total deaths.
IHME is a global health research center at the University of Washington. Its projections on COVID-19 are considered to be based on robust models.
The pandemic already killed 3,104,743 (as of April 26), according to data from the world Health Organization; India accounted for 195,123 of them.
IHME projected India’s daily death toll at 13,050 by May 15 — more than double the current 6,352 deaths (April 27).
There were many more COVID-19 cases in India than Government of India has declared, IHME professor Christopher JL Murray, said in a recorded analysis:

The exponential rise in cases and deaths continues in India, and our analysis of seroprevalence surveys, is telling us what the infection detection rate is below 5 per cent — maybe even around 3-4 per cent. This means that the number of cases that are being detected needs to be multiplied by 20 or more to get the number of infections that are occurring in India. The number of infections right now is extraordinarily large. There’s more infections happening in India than what occurred globally two weeks ago.

That way, India would already have had 6 million infections.
“Our latest projections show that the number of infections driven by the surge in India (and perhaps also driven by the surges in Bangladesh and Pakistan) will be reaching 15 million a day globally,” he said.
Murray argues that infection in India is so high that “COVID-19 may run out of people to infect pretty soon”. This means after mid-May transmission in India would start declining.
That is that proverbial silver lining, but the novel coronavirus has not been confirmed yet to take a chartered path.

Modi fights pressure to lock down India as virus deaths rise

May 4, 2021

NEW DELHI (BLOOMBERG) - Two weeks ago, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on states to only consider lockdowns "as the last option."
Now everyone from his political allies to top business leaders and US President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser see them as the only way to stem the world's worst virus outbreak.
The debate has been complicated by Mr Modi's move last year to impose a nationwide lockdown without warning, spurring a humanitarian crisis as migrant workers fled on foot to rural areas.
While Mr Modi is keen to avoid that criticism again, particularly after his Bharatiya Janata Party failed to win an election in West Bengal when votes were counted Sunday, even states run by his party are ignoring his advice.
"One of the problems is this false narrative that it's either a full lockdown, which equates to economic disaster, or no lockdown, which is a public health disaster," said Catherine Blish, an infectious disease specialist and global health expert at Stanford Medicine in California.
"What's happening now is a health and an economic disaster. If you have huge swaths of your population getting sick, that's not good for your population or your economy."

In the past week, television channels and social media have been flooded with grim scenes of overcrowded crematoriums and desperate pleas for oxygen from hospitals.
On Tuesday (May 4), the country reported more than 357,000 new infections to cross 20 million cases, as well as 3,449 deaths.
The Indian rupee has turned into Asia's worst-performing currency this quarter from being the best in the previous quarter as foreigners pulled about US$1.8 billion (S$2.4 billion) from the nation's stocks and bonds.
The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex Index declined about 1.5 per cent as investors turned cautious amid the deadly outbreak.

India's richest banker Uday Kotak, who heads the Confederation of Indian Industry, urged the government to deploy the military to help care for patients and to take the "strongest national steps including curtailing economic activity to reduce suffering."
"We must heed expert advice on this subject - from India and abroad," he said.
This represents a shift from India's top business leaders. In April, a survey of the confederation's members showed they were against lockdowns and wanted swift vaccination. In the past month however, the collapsing health infrastructure and mounting death toll has revealed the extent the crisis.
A lack of adequate vaccine doses has only added to the chaos.
Although policy makers have signalled they are ready to take steps to support growth, economists say a failure to flatten the virus curve could exert pressure on monetary and fiscal policies at a time when most of the conventional space available has already been used.
The most immediately effective way to break the chain of transmission is to keep people far enough apart that the virus can't jump from one to another.
Some experts, including Anthony S. Fauci, the top US infectious disease doctor, say a temporary shut down is important.
But others say complete national lockdown isn't possible and would be disastrous for the poor, who have already suffered the most during the outbreak.
The federal government has left it open for states to decide on local lockdowns, and places like the national capital Delhi and the financial hub Mumbai have imposed restrictions - though they are less strict than last year.
People who live hand-to-mouth must go out every day to find something to eat or earn a day's wages, said Kim Mulholland, an Australian pediatrician and leader of the infection and immunity group at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne.
As hospitals struggle for oxygen and bodies pile up at crematoriums, a blanket lockdown may only add to the misery.
A sudden loss of livelihoods may once again prompt a rush of workers from cities to their home towns and villages, also helping the virus spread to the hinterlands.
Instead of a strict shutdown, experts said, local governments could stop activities where it is difficult to maintain social distancing.
"I would absolutely curtail indoor retail, restaurants, shops, as much as possible anything that has people getting together indoors," said Ashish Jha, the dean of Brown University School of Public Health.
"I would absolutely ban any large congregations outside, though it's hard in places in India where things can get pretty crowded naturally."

Elections in India intensified spread of Covid-19 pandemic's second wave

MAY 5, 2021


NEW DELHI - It was a day India reported nearly 370,000 fresh coronavirus infections. Uttar Pradesh, its most populous state, was among the top four in a list of states with highest caseloads that day.
Yet, on May 2, thousands gathered and jostled at polling centres across Uttar Pradesh, where votes for recently held village council elections were being counted.
Visuals of so many people gathering with no adherence to physical distancing norms were an ominous reminder of how elections have fanned the spread of the second wave of Covid-19 in India.
Assembly elections were held in the states of Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal and the union territory of Puducherry in March and April.
Of these, West Bengal went through an excruciatingly long eight-phase election between March 27 and April 29, a period when daily new cases in the state went up from around 800 to more than 17,000 now.
An analysis this week by Associate Professor Deepankar Basu, in the Department of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, showed that the five regions with elections reported a much higher rate of increase in infections than those without.

Between March 15 and April 1, when campaigning was under way, regions with elections reported an 8.06 per cent growth in the average daily number of Covid-19 cases, compared with 5.87 in those without.
This number increased to 9.26 per cent for the former category, while it dropped slightly to 5.35 per cent for the latter between April 1 and 15. From mid-April until April 29, these figures stood at 7.99 per cent and 3.01 per cent respectively.
This difference in the trajectories of the Covid-19 outbreak in the election and non-election regions, argued Prof Basu, "lines up with the timing of the election process and provides evidence that election rallies contributed, at least in part, to the rapid rise in cases in many states".
Other analyses have also suggested a direct epidemiological causality between elections and the pandemic's spread. Professor Giridhara R. Babu, head of Life Course Epidemiology at the Public Health Foundation of India, told The Straits Times there is no reason to doubt that election rallies did aid in transmission.

"These are typically super-spreader events, with most people not wearing masks and in very crowded settings. Given the nature of how fast the current variants are spreading, it is very unlikely that they won't spread in these rallies," he said, adding that elections were, however, one among many super-spreader events.
"We simply opened up everything and each venue became a super-spreader venue, and each day saw a super spreader event," Professor Babu said.
Dates for the elections were announced by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Feb 26, as the number of daily cases was beginning to go up. Political parties, however, paid little heed to this warning sign and organised many large rallies with minimal social distancing and very little mask-wearing.
Leaders from different parties, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, were seen at these rallies without masks.
In early April, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, a top leader from the Bharatiya Janata Party in Assam and also its health minister, had even said that masking was not necessary because Covid-19 was "not present" in Assam.
"Actions are more important than words. So, if role models are not wearing masks and people are happy having large crowds, then that sets in a different message that it is okay to do this," said Prof Babu.

As warnings from the ECI to respect Covid-19-appropriate behaviour went unheeded, the commission on April 22 restricted big public events, limiting political meetings to 500 people on the condition they are held in accordance with Covid-19 safety rules.
In the state of Tamil Nadu, the commission was reprimanded last month by the Madras High Court for not taking adequate action to stop big public rallies there. "Your institution is singularly responsible for the second wave of Covid-19," the court said, adding that it "should probably be booked for murder".
The ECI has complained to the Supreme Court against these remarks.
In mid-April, the commission had turned down an appeal from Ms Banerjee urging it to merge the three remaining phases of the election in West Bengal into one. It cited numerous logistical challenges to support its decision.
A similar commitment to holding elections amid the raging pandemic was also seen in Uttar Pradesh, where the State Election Commission (SEC) organised panchayat, or village council, elections between April 15 and 29, with millions of voters involved in the exercise. The elections were meant to be held in December last year, but were put off because of the pandemic.
In February, the Allahabad High Court asked the SEC to organise them by April 30 this year. Dr Dinesh Chandra Sharma, president of the Uttar Pradeshiya Prathamik Shikshak Sangh, which represents the interests of nearly 500,000 teachers, many of whom were sent on polling duty in these elections, said cases were low when the court had issued its order.
"Had the commission gone to the court later, citing the second wave, I am sure the court would have looked into it," he told ST. His association sent a letter to the SEC and the state's chief minister on April 29 with around 700 names of teachers who had died after polling duty last month and called for the counting of votes on May 2 to be delayed by a few weeks.

On May 1, the Supreme Court allowed the counting of votes to proceed after the SEC said it had taken a decision "to go ahead" and cited adequate arrangements to ensure Covid-19-appropriate behaviour.
"But you have seen how good the arrangements were," Dr Sharma said, referring to widely shared visuals of overcrowding at counting centres on May 2.
Both the ECI and the SEC did not respond to a query from the ST.
