It certainly shows such a gloomy picture of this pandemic, ever-lasting, no one could deny, Dr. HJ.
To make old folks in particular like us more depressed, it seems to take the course, one wave after another, through our limited time left.
So helpless!

How could you ever consider enough vaccination to get herd immunity from near 8 billion people on the surface of the earth!? It is simply a crazy idea! Too many people, doc, too many! Now India reaches the almost same level as China to 1.4 billion. How they possibly dare to give the vaccination to these many people?
Even with only 330 million, rich country USA is struggling!
Afraid to say but this pandemic sure looks like punishment by the nature, don't you think?
If I remember correctly, the maximum human population this earth can accommodate is 1.9 billion which was already reached back in 1919, I heard from one WHO epidemiologist years ago when they invited/arranged my trip to India for the first time in early '90 to join to their study on filariasis-induced lymphedema, the endemic disease throughout South India, affecting literally one out of twenty people on the surface of the earth.
Now the world population is up close to 7.8 billion, more than 4 times, God forbids!

The virus seems to be winning in this world war by attacking
the unprepared, unvaccinated populations and countries of the world
where no reliable statistics are available and the reported numbers
don't mean much.
It seems it is a rerun of 1918 Pandemic in spite of effective vaccines
that have saved many lives.
