Cases seem to have peaked and are going down, and it seems like this wave was much less deadly than the previous waves. Hopefully the same happens elsewhere.

      Yes, idk why the conversation around freeing up patents seems to have stopped.

            Capitalists extrapolate forward more than one annual shareholder meeting challenge.

            so if you let millions of 3rd worlders die because you’re not willing to loosen the grip on some vaccine patents, line will inevitably go way the fuck down in the long run

            Covid doesn't kill nearly enough people of working age anywhere fast enough for that to happen. There's literally billions of workers in the third world to exploit and they keep increasing, they're not gonna run out any time soon.

        Because they never wanted to do it - just buying time until they can commence stage 4 of the plan: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qNjFIwRYEIo

    "The test positive daily data showed the beginning of a sharp drop in positive cases, we can now say this is not an accurate description of where things are."

    From the surveillance data which lags a bit behind daily test figures but provides a better picture if community prevalence

      I mean, if it is lagging then that may be the reason, since the decrease is still quite new, but it does appear consistent.

      Yes, hopefully cases go down fast enough everywhere so that there is less risk of mutations. Doubt it though when the third world is still highly unvaccinated.

    Is this because it just infects people so fast that it runs out of people in several weeks?

      It wasn't as big as the other waves though. However I'm guessing many people in the UK had natural immunity due to being infected already.

    Bad news from TERF Island, once they finish throwing the dead into the ground they'll be back to doing imperialism unhindered.

    So is Delta no big deal in the vaccinated Imperial Core or what?

    Edit: Cases were basically flatlined last summer, does this mean a bigger wave during Flu Season is still coming?

      Idk, who knows. Maybe it's the summer contributing.

    The figures don't take into account the removal of restrictions on the 19th yet, do they?
