India's true death toll estimated to be between 3 and 4.7 million. https://apnews.com/article/business-sci ... 7cb6e3f92e
Interesting. I've been doing weekly video calls to India for the last couple of months and it's not a big topic of conversation.

Fiji's outbreak deaths have just passed 100. I'm still predicting a total of 600 but every vaccination brings the total down.

IIRC immunosuppressed people can get a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine but it may not do anything for them.

Is Fox worse than the Post?

I think the Post article might be derived from this story from Alabama. Kind of a sensationalist twist on a serious story.

Re: Covid news and views
I didn't take enough interest in the "it's too late" headlines to click any. The headline says all I'm interested in. But I saw it from lots of big non-Fox publications and it always gets my attention when Fox or the Post has a slightly pro-vaccine story.starjots wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 3:56 am

Re: Covid news and views
There's an apartment on my floor with plastic taped all around the door from the outside. This could be someone's relative trying to protect their loved one from outside viruses, or trying to protect others from their virus, or it could be asbestos abatement, or there could have been a death and they're sealing in the smell and the apartment's empty. Just remembered, there was loud banging that day, which could be from the door getting rammed in. The door may not close and they're hiding that with the plastic. You can't see through it.
Meanwhile, the outside air still isn't great from the fire out west, plus I smell second hand pot smoke a couple of times a day so I can't count on fresh air through the window.
I'd like to buy three more air cleaners for my apartment but I don't want to spend the money right now.
