Fair enough! There is lots of different data out there and the Bloomberg tracker won’t open but as I said we are both doing well and it’s close enough to not to fall out over. We both (USA and U.K.) need to continue to drive vaccination numbers up in our countries and around the world. There is still room for improvement!
I thought everyone was singing the praises of Israel for their stellar numbers but they only have 60% vaccinated still? Didn't they have that a while ago?
I have a friend that lives in Israel and I think they’re closer to 80% now. Not sure how updated that tracker is.
It’s 60% of the total population not 60% of adults. As far as I know they haven’t opened to kids yet but will very soon so will start to go up again.
There should be some love sent to Japan. The summer Olympic games will happen this summer there and only 2% of the population has been vaccinated.
They will most likely be played with no fans at all. Foreign fans are already banned and now there’s a good chance Japanese fans will be banned too. Doesn't stop thousands of athletes coming in from all over the world but it wont be the normal Olympics for sure.
Sounds about right. They hit 80%+ of adults vaccinated which ends up being about 60% of the total population and are now waiting for some further investigation into heart issues before starting on kids. Since the cases and deaths have dropped so far they are in less of a hurry to start kids. I had read somewhere they may dip down to 12+ as soon as this week or next.
Japanese should listen to the experts here and let people do what they want to do!
I saw a poll that something like 72% of Japanese citizens want the Olympics cancelled so even if they open it up to local spectators it may be empty stadiums anyway.Japanese should listen to the experts here and let people do what they want to do!
Yes. I have relatives who live in Ontario.
I was admitted to the hospital on May 13th. Had a procedure done and stayed overnight. Never once was tested for Covid.
I should've been more specific. If you had been there for an unexpected illness, you would've been tested.
Interesting. I know a cousin going in 2 weeks and has to be tested much to her dismay. A friend who did pass away was doing regular tests for covid too for every procedure she had done. That's actually how they found out she had asymptomatic covid after her first shot.
My 5 year old son has been test 14 times for an illness he has been battling for the last year. He requires a test every single time he goes to the hospital overnight and they will not give him a bed without a negative test.
Towards the end of my aunt's life she was tested regularly but not the nasal swabs. Surprised they cannot do another way.
