Updated statistics on how many (a percentage will do provided the source is cited)?
Today’s figure is 2,302. I’m still checking whether this includes the hundreds being found daily in the prison system.
The prisoner figures from yesterday - 1,219 - will be included in tomorrow’s numbers
... just waiting for that complacency and explosion of cases to hit.
I don't know, just an all around shitty situation. Hopefully this time next year global manufacturing of vaccines will be at a level that we can finally put down this problem altogether. That's the only thing that will get us out of this mess, but it has to be on a global scale.
Like I seen in a news report while they were giving an interview to a doctor in Kenya earlier today... it's a global village, either we're all safe, or none of us are.

What I fear is that as developed nations get the pandemic under control, they will seemingly and conviently forget about it while it ravages other parts of the world.
I REALLY hope this doesn't happen, and the foot stays on the gas until the world has this Covid issue solved, because that's the only way we're getting out of it. I hope governments across the world are smart enough to realize that, and don't take their foot off the gas to divert resources into their local economies instead of the pandemic.
A much higher figure today including thousands of prisoners - 9,635 - with 2,782 in the general population
6 weeks, and opening for tourism, baby!
Prison tourism a speciality.
If today's figures for the general population suggest signal rather than mere noise then there's some encouragement (one swallow doesn’t make a boyfriend) - the recent peak although close is (just) lower than the early May figure. Today it's 1,797 in the general population with a further 680 prisoners for a total of 2,473
By way of perspective (and a figure to gladden goji’s heart) 2,421 were injured on the roads yesterday - pretty much the daily average all year, every day.
Out of the 5,893 people that have died in road accidents this year so far, 80% were motorcyclists. The biggest age group is 36-60 years at 36%. For injuries, the biggest age group is the same but children under 15 accounted for 25% of all injuries
