Covid-19 Global Weekly Update

The 4th wave of the pandemic is indeed a fork in the road. Hopefully, it will be different from the previous peak. India has introduced "vaccine festival" in mid April 2021 to all Indian residents above 45.

Excerpt from Week 65 Update:

"The surge in India has particularly alarmed the world. This is because India is also a vaccine manufacturing hub. In normal times, it caters to over 60% of the vaccine demand from developing countries. In the present pandemic, India has emerged as the biggest exporter of the AstraZeneca vaccine through a local firm, the Serum Institute of India (SII), which is also the world’s biggest vaccine maker."
