Boris Johnson is awesome!
All immunity, be it vax or recovery, gets old. The UK’s vax is quite old. US vax is becoming quite old. UK had faster vax uptake so theirs is older and thus, People Are Dying.
Tack onto that a new subvariant dominating their cases and of course they have a lot of deaths. It will get worse, and it will reach the US.
The place really getting hammered is S. Korea. They are smashed.
And yes, boosters buy some time, but damn little. Weeks. Israel’s data says less time each boost.
We have NOTHING globally to stop this virus. Two years in and NOTHING. Pathetic.
And now, we have the new data out for life expectancy in the US. We lost 1.9 yrs in 2020 to Covid and Fentanyl. For 2021, the loss was 0.4 years. Covid is now the #3 killer in the US, behind cancer and heart disease.
US life expectancy has in the last few years fallen to 5 years shorter than 19 peer developed countries, mostly because of the huge death numbers from Covid. This is an outrage and is getting far too little attention.
