#Covid19
#Booster 💉| According to the Centre’s directions, the third dose will be of the same vaccine as the first two jabs and will be given to those who were vaccinated nine months ago.

A possible third wave of the coronavirus in India will likely be less severe than the devastating previous wave, according to the ICMR. This finding was backed by the Indian medical body and Imperial College of London's CHROMIC model. #ThirdWave
newsbytesapp.com/news/india/thi… Image
As per the model, states or districts that had witnessed a higher number of cases in the second wave (Delhi and Maharashtra), may see a decline now. The main reason cited for that is the immunity acquired by people from natural infections in the past wave and/or post-vaccination. Image
Dr. Samiran Panda, the head of ICMR's communicable diseases division said, "We have already reiterated that vaccines will not prevent infection, only mitigate the severity. Vaccination also prevents death. This in turn will help reduce the burden on the healthcare system." Image

#BombayHighCourt full bench of four senior-most judges headed by Chief Justice Dipankar Datta is hearing a suo motu PIL to decide if protective orders against demolition, eviction and earlier passed interim orders in view of #Covid19 pandemic need to be extended.
Bench opines the protective orders be extended for one more month.

Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni supports the opinion.

Bench points out at photos in the media showing huge crowds at #JuhuChowpatty on last Sunday.
CJ Datta: Unless you (@CMOMaharashtra) control the crowd especially on weekends there won't be any progress. Consider strict restrictions on weekends.

AG: I am told there are strict restrictions on weekends. Will ensure the restrictions are imposed properly.

#BombayHC bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni to hear petition filed by adv @DhrutiMKapadia seeking door-to-door vaccination for elderly and bedridden citizens in the state. @CMOMaharashtra was asked to submit guidelines today.
@DhrutiMKapadia appearing in person.
Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni for the state.
Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh for Union govt.

Kapadia: Policy is given to me last night. It isn't useful. It looks like the Union's "Near the Home" policy.

#BombayHC
Kapadia: When all states can smoothly conduct this drive why are we struggling in #Maharashtra ?

#ThirdWave of #Covid is yet to arrive yet they are not coming up with a proper policy.

Reads out from the state's policy - It says "May be implemented."

The #UttarakhandHighCourt to hear a batch of #Covid-19 PILs.

Matter being heard by a bench of the #ChiefJustice and Justice Alok Kumar Verma.
Chief: If you read the newspapers, the reports are alarming.

We had 25,000 tourists coming to Nainital on the weekend. No one is wearing masks, hardly anyone uses sanitisers because sanitisers are not being provided.

#UttarakhandHighCourt #Covid19
Chief: Why are we not adhering to the Centre’s instructions?

#DeltaPlus variant is on the rise and the #thirdwave will strike us by second week of August according to WHO.

8,436 new cases reported in South Africa today (expect much more tomorrow), and over 57k cases over past 7 days 📈

3rd wave in SA now surging, spurred on by a concerning spike in Gauteng ⚠️

Update: #COVID19 in Gauteng

GP currently epicentre of SA's 3rd wave. Over 35k cases reported in GP over past 7 days, 63% of total, and up 88% week-on-week 🚩

Over 4,400 patients currently in hospitals in GP alone, and too many deaths now 😢

#Rid1TweetsOnCovid #FamilyMeeting
208 more deaths reported in South Africa today ⚠️

Reported deaths are always high on Tuesdays (post-weekend), but this is significantly higher and this is highest reported in months. Trend is clearly going up again 👇

🧵MEDIA IS THE VIRUS🦠

I wonder whether, when @cydneyyeates of @Metro_Ents began her career in journalism, she really believed she would end up resorting to writing complete fabrications.

I don’t mean “I didn’t like what she wrote” I mean total lies👇🏻
metro.co.uk/2021/06/02/thi…
Firstly, the 2nd and 3rd paragraph have just been copied and pasted from any government press release on vaccines. It gives a glimpse into the lack of actual “journalism” happening here. As a former journo myself, I can tell you that “word herder” is a far better description.
But of course the main lie here is the attempt to completely switch realities and discredit the only person in that discussion (@beverleyturner) who was actually speaking the truth. Not my truth, the unarguable, demonstrable truth.

I’m sick of the mainstream media lying so👇🏻

What's the bet that as B117 was falling in the community, it was in education where B1.617.2 was increasing.

And whilst they knew this, they still went ahead with removing masks and suppressing the data instead of acting.
#edutwitter #ThirdWave Image
I think the government is hoping to obscure scale of the issue in schools and gamble that hospitalisations are still low by 14th June, they will announce further loosening but keep masks in certain places so they can claim this is a sign of caution
Yet we still get voices in media claiming children are practically immune, that transmission is so low that UK schools don't need masks.

A lot of the world are shocked by the lack of measures in UK schools.

Why is this #ThirdWave in Ontario more worrisome?

1. Let us first be very clear—we are in a 3rd wave—and epidemiologically, we are somewhere comparable to early-mid December 2020. From @COVIDSciOntario @Billius27
2. A huge difference is ICU capacity. In mid-December, we had around 276 patients with COVID in ICUs, and around 181 on ventilators.
Right now, that number is 355 and 205, the ICU workers are tired, and those numbers are just starting to rise.
3. How quickly cases rise is unpredictable. If we're lucky the rise will be more like 🇫🇷 than 🇮🇹 or 🇦🇹 but it is very clear that truly steep growth often occurs and (if you follow the international press) it always feels like it is taking you by surprise. It ain't.

Sunday's #Coronavirus megathread will, as always, be updated throughout the day with news, data and analysis.

Few paid attention while we warned of rising #Covid19 cases in the Balkans then central Europe. Now everyone's concerned as big nations suffer.

Come inside folks!
And I'll start with Europe's biggest nation (in population), #Germany

A further 27% rise in #Covid19 cases confirmed overnight with 10,572 new infections for Saturday vs 8,311 the week before.
#Brazil's been the focus of much attention of late as deaths soar.

The number of people who were reported to have died of #Covid19 yesterday actually dipped, but only because it's the weekend. In fact 1,940 deaths is 30% higher than last Saturday's 1,498

New cases: 70,934 (+5%)

The daily #Coronavirus thread is underway.

If Friday turned out to be fearful, we can only hope it's not a shocking Saturday.

More and more countries and regions heading back into lockdown as #Covid19 spreads quicker then the vaccines.

And already today new record - read on..
The first record to report is from crisis-torn #Brazil

For the 3rd successive day over 2,000 deaths.
But it's new #Covid19 cases rewriting the record books today with 84,047 positive tests, that's 12% more than the week before

2,152 more deaths takes total fatalities over 275k
Almost a record for #Norway too tonight.

905 new #Covid19 infections diagnosed in the last 24 hours, just 25 below the national record. Today's total is 31% up on the previous week.

Over 300 more Covid patients have been admitted to hospital in the last 2 days alone.

From @Corriere: today the impact of the new cases in the Province of Milan is 206, whereas it drops to 192 in the Municipality. #thesub #ThirdWave #lockdown

The suburbs of Bollate, Liscate and Pozzuolo Martesana have been declared as 'red zone' due to the incidence of the contagion. Liscate and Pozzuolo, especially, are to be seen as 'buffer zones' in a landscape of freight transport and logistics in the eastern in-between of Milan
Furthermore, an urban-suburban dualism has been observed while assessing the impacts of individual features and socioeconomic status in the Provinces of Milan and Lodi (governed by ATS Milano Metropolitana in the health system)👇

1. HEADS-UP to anyone who cares about free speech and the hounding of academics who won't toe the line: US feminist studies PhD. candidate/teaching assistant Laura Tanner @saltyfemst is the target of an escalating coordinated smear campaign at @ucsantabarbara . Please share.
2. They are attacking her for what she says on Twitter (of course), but evidently also for "bringing in her own struggles" in a class discussion about poverty: "Ma'm, you're white!"
3. There have been demonstrations against her. "Dumb Bitch!"

"Stank white pussy ass bitch!"

These are the people who claim misgendering is "literal violence."
