India just came in at an eye-watering 386,452 new daily cases with many cases going undiagnosed in the country.

The corollary of record breaking cases will be felt in 3 weeks time.

It does not look like they have the necessary social infrastructure to back out of this one.

Terrible. I have to say though, I'm surprised a country as densely populated as India did so well for so long. Unfortunately, I think this was bound to happen eventually.

Although India is obviously a much different country from ours (higher and denser population, greater levels of economic inequality, inferior healthcare and education, lower standards of living, etc.), it should nevertheless serve as an instructive example of why we must vigorously continue on with the vaccination process and adhere to reasonable precautions in the meantime. I can only imagine how the situation would be in our country now had we followed a laissez-faire approach to this last year.

Nice! Plus you can dishonorably discharge the MAGA idiots who refuse, thus easily purging our great military of potential traitors and white supremacists.

Biden administration to restrict travel from India starting Tuesday

Quote
The Biden administration has confirmed that the US will restrict travel from India starting on Tuesday in response to the surge of coronavirus cases and variants being observed in the country.

"On the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Administration will restrict travel from India starting immediately," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on Friday. "The policy will be implemented in light of extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in the India. The policy will take effect on Tuesday, May 4."

The administration will issue a 212(f) order restricting entry into the US for foreign nationals who have been in India within the previous 14 days, a source familiar with the move said. Airlines have been told of the decision, a source said.

...

The policy will not apply to American citizens, lawful permanent residents or other people with exemptions. As with all international travelers, individuals who fit that criteria traveling from India must still test negative prior to leaving the country, quarantine if they have not been vaccinated and test negative again upon reentering the US from India. The restrictions also do not apply to humanitarian workers.

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 4/30 per: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I'm keeping track of these updates daily and updating at the end of the day, whenever all states finish reporting for that day.

ΔW Change: Comparisons of Weekly Day-to-day Growth or Decline of COVID-19 Spread/Deaths.
  • IE: Comparing the numbers to the same day of last week, are we flattening the curve enough?

Σ Increase: A day's contribution to overall percentage growth of COVID-19 cases/deaths.
  • IE:What's the overall change in the total?

Brackets []: These represent the total change for the day, including backlogged reports, if any.
  • These numbers are inflated relative to the actual reports for the day, so they are not used to calculate the comparative percentage shifts.

The 4000 cases in PA were from backlogged cases. So the total case numbers actually declined today.

There was a similar backlog in Colorado a couple days ago, and possibly other states too.

Went to watch Godzilla vs Kong in IMAX today, it felt so nice to be back in the movie theater. Of course I’m fully vaccinated and wore a mask the whole time.  Things are definitely slowly creeping forward normalcy.

Since late March, I've been to some small outdoor concerts and a high school baseball game. These events were in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. One of few signs of COVID was that the performers at one of the concerts wore masks. Performers who played a wind instrument wore a mask with a hole in it, which defeats the whole purpose of masks.

My mom and I went to Universal Studios a few weeks back for spring break. Second time on an airplane in a year (and I work for an airline that shall not be named) and it felt really good to go out and do something fun like that. I would have felt uncomfortable if I wasn’t vaccinated (they were strict on masks but not quite distancing) but I didn’t have to worry about it. The Hagrid roller coaster is ing amazing too.

Cases in India look like they might be levelling off. Still terrible but maybe it stays under 400k/day. Deaths are still on a steep upclimb though, I guess because of the lag.

It's slowing but bad call, they broke 400k.

Of course, since India has such a weak public medicine infrastructure and weak leader, who knows what the actual number is....2......3.....5X? the reported number.

7-day positive rate fell further to 3.57%.

But the one-day positive rate yesterday was only 2.85%.

"Adults" who have not gotten the vaccine by choice are not adults.  They're children.

Or better yet, they're sheep.

I came back from work not too long ago, and I'm going to make another entry to my "reports" about who has and has not been wearing masks, which I've done throughout the pandemic. The numbers of maskless customers at my job have increased significantly over the past week. Now, I would say that about 30-35% of people are no longer wearing masks. Those who have been maskless throughout the pandemic are now being joined by those who've decided to discard them recently. I am curious as to how many of the maskless have actually been vaccinated.

Some have taken the stance that because they've received the vaccine, they no longer have to wear a mask. And I suspect that the vast majority of the maskless lean to the right, or are conservatives, Republicans, or Trump supporters. Polls have indicated throughout the pandemic that Republicans are more likely to be maskless than Democrats or independents, and they are also revealing that Republicans are less likely to be vaccinated (or planning on getting vaccinated) than Democrats or independents.
