    'Every second person getting tested in Kolkata is positive'

    Maybe the most amazing thing is that this hasn't happened until now.

    The entire subcontinent is a petri dish for pathogens: https://i2.wp.com/www.redressonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Pollution_in_Delhi.jpg

    That’s not contagious, fortunately.

    DailyMail says that 51 Indians on a plane tested positive
    in Japan, after testing negative in Dehli a few hours before.

    Clearly Indian "tests" are BULLSHIT. Criminal BS imho.
    UN sanctions are in order. This is negligent genocide
    at the very least.

    Lock out these super-spreaders. Most of the EU is
    doing so already. The USA/Canada MUST do the
    same for at least the next few weeks.

    The India strain has managed to afflict a people that
    are used to massive pathogen exposure. We DON'T
    WANT THAT.

    In a month or two or three it will have run its course
    and that will be that. But for NOW .....

    Meanwhile, Moderna and Pfizer had BETTER be working
    real hard on Vaccine-2 ... updated for the new strains.
    We'll be wanting, needing, that Real Soon Now.

    J&J ... crap. Skip it.
