taking stock of the pandemic as the world passes five million Covid-19 deaths.



Global Covid-19 death toll passes 5 million

The coronavirus has been responsible for more than five million confirmed deaths around the world as of Monday, according to data from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.

That equates to almost the entire population of Melbourne, Australia, or most of the nation of Singapore.

Experts say that five million is an undercount. Many countries are unable to accurately record the number of people who have died from Covid-19, including India and African nations. They have also questioned the veracity of data from other countries, like Russia.

“All of these estimates still rely on data being available, or someone going and collecting it before antibodies and local memories wane,” said one infectious disease expert in London, adding that the true toll is unlikely to be known for years.

The real number of people lost to Covid-19 could be as high as twice the reported figure, an epidemiologist in New York said.

Pace: Despite the Delta variant, confirmed deaths seem to have slowed slightly since the world reached four million deaths in early July — a sign of vaccine impact.

Details: The U.S. leads all other countries with more than 745,000 deaths confirmed. Brazil, India, Mexico and Russia follow, in that order.



中國新增本土染疫病例升至六週新高

在過去一天,中國本土日新增新冠感染人數為六週以來最高,北部一些地區成為抗疫重點地區。目前,中國仍堅持病毒清零政策,同時繼續推進疫苗接種。





專訪:“新冠將成為一種可控的疾病”

研發輝瑞疫苗的BioNTech公司兩位創始人在接受德國之聲採訪時表示,對未獲本年度諾貝爾醫學獎並不失望。 “我們每天都得到大量諾貝爾獎“。













Children Drive Britain’s Longest-Running Covid Surge

By Josh Holder

The United Kingdom lifted nearly all coronavirus restrictions in July — and has seen an extended wave ever since, with school-age children now making up more than a third of new cases.




Covid Shots Are a Go for Children, but Parents Are Reluctant to Consent

Covid Shots Are a Go for Children, but Parents Are Reluctant to Consent

By Jan Hoffman

Vaccinating 5- to 11-year-olds could be a big step toward returning to normal life in the U.S., but even parents who got the shot are worried about how it might affect their kids.

北京多个机场周五取消100多架次航班,中国全国范围内旅行限制再次强控,以应对新一波新冠疫情。兰州已经封城,一些城市以及北京的一些小区也处于半封闭状态,多省多地发出寻找确诊病例“次密接及次次密接”的紧急公告,然而,在中国十几个省份发现的新一波新冠疫情,一周来确诊感染不过250多起,引起外界对中国过度防疫,清零政策是否理性的质疑。
