Covid-19
Yes it does appear that the infection rate is slowing. Vaccines are kicking in. First good news we've had in a long time. Infection rates in Ireland have fallen by almost 50%. 'Daylight Again'. Long may it last.

we both just say how the infection rate has fallen/slowing and now we get a damning report from the head of the UK's genetic surveillance program that the Kent Strain will sweep the world and it will be here for a decade to come:

J&J - 9 million
Pfizer - 20 million

They will arrive in dribs and drabs - at the end of the first quarter and in further increments. https://sacoronavirus.co.za/2021/02/12/s...ighlights/ - meanwhile, we are thankfully slipping down the leaderboard again and seem to have a good recovery rate - mind you, there are also a lot of additional deaths that have not been attributed to Covid which probably should have been - plenty more people who've had it and recovered too, without confirmation/reporting.

109,000,000 cases confirmed Worldwide now...

if the scientists are correct (and i have no reason not to believe them) then the new UK variant is predicted to be more contagious and deadly than the original/current strain!
https://www.msn.com/en-au/health/medical...d=msedgdhp

one of our major airlines has predicted that flights will not return to normal on a global scale until at least 2025.

Argentina tops 2 million cases and...
Netherlands (Holland) tops 1 million cases

meanwhile Australia has around 29,000 cases since the virus started and
New Zealand has recorded less than 2,500 in the same timeframe.

110,000,000 confirmed cases now

thats around 72hrs since the last million was recorded.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

a couple of reasons for this i suspect:
1: the vaccines are now underway
2: countries are now following Australia/New Zealand's lead in quarantining incoming persons
3. more countries now taking the virus seriously and promoting the use of masks/sanitizer etc etc....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

in other Covid news:
North Korea 'tried to hack' Pfizer to get access to the vaccine.
i find that strange they would do that because there has apparently never been a one case of Covid-19 in Nth Korea (if you believe the propaganda from Rocketman!)

India has officially recorded 11,000,000 case,
Brasil 10,000,000

both still a long way behind the gold medalists, USA, with 28.7 million confirmed cases.
the good news is that America is recording 50% less daily cases than it did at the beginning of January.
