if India is doing this bad and we are just realizing it now, doesn’t it stand to reason that the surrounding countries are probably getting this bad too? have we heard anything out of Nepal, Bangladesh or Pakistan lately?

It's best to assume that Bangladesh is going to get it worst of anyone. They always seem to.

I feel like no one actually gives a gently caress about India, people generally don't view them as human or a threat or a culture to be envied or studied. The Bill Gate uber rich, actually probably see this as a blessing, a way of getting rid of them without any direct culpability.

I guess my question should be rephrased: if this variant is as bad as it seems, and the world is expecting outbreaks like this everywhere - why would they send oxygen ANYWhere if they think that they will need it in a few weeks?

nope. you can't lib your way out of this. it requires state level resources, so you should show your support to the governments willing to do that, such as cuba and china.

From now on if you post your shot #2 symptoms, please post your age. I’m wondering if the symptoms are milder the older you are.

44 years old, 19 hours after Pfizer #2, I’m experiencing a medium strength hangover. Body is sore enough that I have to move slowly and my face feels puffy, but at least my skin isn’t on fire like my worst hangovers. I think I had it relatively easy!

No you see a century pandemic of highly infectious aerosol respiratory virus dictates that it is exclusively up to individual responsibility to overcome. There is no place for state level actors, both federal and local, in such public health policy measures.

From Bengal to Bhopal, downplaying mass casualty events in India is a time-honoured tradition.

91 divoc for anything US state, US region, or country

Washington Post does good US State tracking, including hospitalizations
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/coronavirus-us-cases-deaths/

NYT has a couple of pages that are free and still updating. Metro areas is solid to anticipate outbreaks before they hit the news and it makes you look like a wizard to your friends

I think the conventional wisdom is that antivirals only have a chance of making a significant difference if given very early in the infection, which is rarely when people are seeking treatment. Similar issue with monoclonal antibodies.

I don't think anyone itt is under the impression that starting a collection is going to fix anything as in be a substitute for the actual things that would need to happen to avoid the catastrophe we are almost certainly not going to avoid. Some people want to do what they can, and you can read the worst reasons into it if you want, but throwing "lib" around can be read into too, so you may as well take people at their word. Most things that anyone does right now are pointless anyway, so there's no need for pettiness.
