It's been just three months, and we're facing regional surges with increasing hospitalizations and deaths already, despite the biggest successful vaccination program in the world. That's how exponential threats work. By the time we get it together, the challenge is much harder.

Yes, yes and yes. Although some of the vaccines have maybe taken a bit of a hit against their ability to prevent symptomatic disease (but not necessarily severe disease), all of them appear to work very well against this one & probably against others, too.https://twitter.com/taterTATi__/status/1379976681277034503 …

So, we will be (mostly) fine in the United States, but if we can vaccinate faster, especially where the outbreaks are surging, we can minimize the suffering. But there are so many countries around the world facing terrible outbreaks, and not enough vaccines to go around.

I'm really worried about the rest of the world, many facing surges with more transmissibility, without vaccines, population tired, economies challenged... That's how things head also into unchecked exponential growth and hospital collapse. Like Brazil. We need to act, globally.

Not variant related but THANK you for your latest Insight! I am from Hungary and read Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain as a teenager WHILE having pneumonia...so the romance, of course, was paramount in my mind. I so appreciate you link our current version moralizing to the past's.
