Today in pandemic theatre: Bangalore is using drones to spray disinfectant around, including seemingly just directly into the air around buildings.

At the same time, the Indian central govt. ministry in charge of promoting bullshit boasts about traditional Indian medicine claims that a herbal concoction 'developed' to treat malaria in the 80s also cures Covid. Needless to say, there is absolutely nothing trustworthy about the 'study' and the claim should be treated like the garbage propaganda it is, not as science.

Meanwhile, hospitals overflow, oxygen supplies run low, people die in droves and the vaccination program stalls because of a lack of doses.

UPDATE: 

The latest rage: steam inhalation in groups. Let's gather people in clusters, make them take off their masks, sit together for a while, and inhale deeply.

​It's like the virus wrote this policy.

    Why I do this

    I am not an expert on Covid, viruses, or vaccines, but I am a scientist with relevant training. I believe we have a responsibility to clearly communicate science to the public, especially in emergencies. So I started to write summaries of Covid developments on facebook in March 2020 to help friends and family understand the situation as it unfolded. This is an archive of those posts (created much later).

    I also track the spread of alarming Covid variants at http://covidvarianttracking.com/ and map the consequences of faster variant spreading at https://tabsoft.co/2YwHCmZ.

    Please do let me know if you find errors in the most recent posts.
