COVID - how many people have been vaccinated worldwide

[StevieWonders]

For members who are interested I have provided a link below from the Australian media company Fairfax which has published a continuously updated global COVID-19 vaccination tracker

Well, hopefully it speeds up soon, because at this rate we're looking at rppox 15,000 more days = ~41 years.

I thought some of the figures rather interesting given the commentary in other threads

Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky, it'll be like the Spanish Flu and just go away in about another year or so.

Or maybe we won't get so lucky, and it'll continue mutating and we're stuck with it forever. Bit of an important coin toss, this one.

As a sidenote, looks like today is the day the US hits 500,000 KoVid deaths. Well, it's showing 499,941 right now, but it's still counting for the day. RIP.

It looks like the UK has set August for its deadline to have given every adult two jabs. No doubt a few member here have already been vaccinated but won't tell us cos it reveals their age.

Some viruses mutate more readily than others. The ‘flu is one such, COVID-19 is clearly another and I anticipate we’re in for the long haul of variant, vaccine, variant, vaccine.

Something for goji to celebrate? They had it coming?

Well in terms of evolution it's what evolution does. It's thinning out the old, the sick and the morbidly obese otherwise known as greedy. Basically the over consumers.

What are you going off about? Ok, then why did the Spanish Flu hit young, strong healthy people the hardest? Not just by a little bit either, but by far. The Spanish Flu caused their immune systems to go into over drive, and since they were young and healthy, their immune systems REALLY went into overdrive, and they died,

Was that evolution just doing its thing too?

I'm not talking about Spanish Flu'. Only you are obsessed with it. I'm talking about this one.
