Many ripen crops will left abandon too, or put it bluntly, extending harvesting rounds.

Ya, ya, expect production to dwindle in coming months, due to extreme shortage of manpower and fertilizers.

The Delta variant has changed the entire landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is clear that we will have breakthrough infections in those fully vaccinated; fortunately, the majority will be mild. Current CDC and PHE data suggest that vaccination (mRNA and adenovirus vaccines) reduce the risk of breakthrough infections with Delta 3X and reduce the risk of severe disease or death by 10X (data for Sinovac protection against Delta is still very limited but may be lower). Hence we should expect that 1 in 3 persons vaccinated with a mRNA or adenovirus vaccine can get a breakthrough infection and have the potential to infect those who are not vaccinated.

This is why herd immunity is no longer possible and why we need high levels of total population vaccination. Good models have shown that to open up any society (reach an endemic state) we require close to 90% vaccination rates of the population. Australian National University modelling shows that even if 70% of adults are vaccinated they can expect 6.9 million cases, 154,000 hospitalisations and 29,000 deaths. Australia needs a 90% vaccination target (including children) before moving to the final stage of the national plan (opening up fully). Even with 90% of the population vaccinated they expect 5,000 fatalities and 40,000 cases of long COVID.

Hence even when we move to high total population vaccination rates, we still need to keep in place the key public health mitigation measures – routine mask use, reduced social interaction, physical distancing, significant improvements in indoor ventilation and routine testing strategies. Even in an endemic phase with high vaccination rates we need to reduce COVID-19 transmission to minimise some getting ill and reduce the risk of new variants of concern developing.

South Africa’s scientists have detected a new variant of Covid-19 which they say has the potential to be a variant of concern.

The new variant C.1.2, which was first detected in May, has now been found in at least six of the country’s nine provinces.

Scientists have found it spreads at the same rate as the country’s current dominant Delta variant.

At a media briefing, the National Institute for Communicable diseases (NICD) said the new variant “might be able to partially evade the immune response [but] vaccines will still offer high levels of protection against hospitalisation and death”.

England and Wales Covid deaths at highest since March

The number of deaths registered in England and Wales that mentioned Covid-19 on the death certificate are at their highest level since late March, according to the Office for National Statistics. A total of 571 deaths mentioned Covid on the death certificate in the week ending 13 August. The figure is up 8% on the previous week and the highest weekly total since the 719 deaths in the week to 26 March.
