U.K. has77 cases of SA COVID variant. If they know of 77, I’d say there is actually well over 1000 and it’s out of control.
The UN recognises over 250 countries in the world. Covid is running riot through a great many of them, but probably less than 50 countries have the technology to seriously look for variants. My guess would be that there are lots of variants similar to the Kent, Brasil (two of them) and South African variant.

Our only hope is that the vaccines will work against these variants, or if they do not, it is not too difficult to develop new vaccines that will work against them.

Nearly 500,000 vaccinations were administered on Saturday. Whatever your thoughts on the Tory Party, the unevenness of the rollout or the single dose strategy, to be injecting half a million people per day is an achievement worthy of praise. This number is set to rise, so the wait for the second vaccination may be shorter than anticipated.

Hancock says that the number of daily vaccinations is now limited by vaccine supplies and unlikely to increase further.
I take it that he implies 3 million jabs a week.
Meanwhile, in the EU, the rate has increased. Don't forget that they use the Pfizer vaccine.

QUOTE:

It took the UK 24 days to reach 1,000,000 vaccinations. It took Germany 20 days. At the present rate, France should hit the 1,000,000 mark after 27 days – ie by this Saturday the 23rd of Jan.

India hit 1,000,000 vaccinations in just 6 days.

Worrying developments in the China/Taiwan saga.
Chinese bombers in Taiwan Airspace, American fleet in South China Sea.
Also more fighting on Indian/Chinese border??
More clamp downs in Hong Kong...
Has China been racking things up under Covid noise.??? Certainly looks that way.
China will be largest ecomomy in World by 2028, this figure has been brought forward by 5 years. Covid?

Where does the figure of 500,000 people per day come from?

China has already overtaken the USA in 2018, thanks to Donald Trump and the Chinese government knows it.
Trump's 'America first' policy actually helps China exports and drives FDDI to China.
Last year, China received more FDDI than any other country.
