    Was looking back. Last May. When Delta didn’t have its name, but when its threat was clear.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1398253140751917062 …

    Real talk: globally, most people will get infected or vaccinated. Looks like the B.1.617.2 variant from India may be even *more* transmissible than B.1.1.7 which wreaked havoc. Countries without vaccines or big prior outbreaks are sitting ducks. WE COULD RESPOND BUT WE ARE NOT. pic.twitter.com/1vF3581t4F

        ‘We could respond are not’ is a little too much of a theme for me.

        Various source projected Delta to be dominant around July, and a summer Southern surge seemed certain.

        I keep thinking about every date in the past when we could have offered more rapid testing kits. Couldn't find any today. Oh well.

        Is that functionally what has happened in India? After last spring the case counts fell off and now remain very low. Has everyone in India been vaccinated or infected by now?

        Yeah this thread just reminds me that you have derided boosters over concern they needlessly waste vaccine better allocated to poor countries. Also zero suggestions for the now 1,500 a day dying, except to wait for your book.
