0 Vaccinated people
and
8,179 Un-Vaccinated people
were killed by COVID-19
176.7 million vaccinated
Including more than 149.1 million people who have been fully vaccinated in the United States.
In the last week, an average of 1.29 million doses per day were administered, a 17% increase over the week before.
The COVID-19 stories are getting pretty scarce. The monster is still out there, but we act like it's old news and we're just going to dance and sing and pretend it's not.
Meanwhile, the predictions of dire horribleness continue, though they're a bit sporadic, and nobody in his right mind can be as optimistic as certain politicians and Press Poodles are, but it's going to be OK, unless it isn't, in which case we'll still be OK after we're not OK for a while longer, unless of course the Delta Variant catches on and morphs into something even worse before we can get enough people to take it seriously and get vaccinated and wear masks and do the things we've been telling them they should do, and so yeah - we could be totally fucked again by this time next year. Or not.
Anyway, there's not a lot of new stories out there, but here's a quick look at people in Brazil finally getting a little pissed off at Bolsonaro.
Demonstrators took to the streets in at least 22 of Brazil’s 26 states to protest President Jair Bolsonaro's handling of the pandemic — as deaths from COVID-19 in the country surged past 500,000 Saturday, per AP.
(BTW - The Delta Variant seems like a great name for a garage band)
