We need to be very careful about very pessimistic modelling and predictions. They have been way out in the past. Too pessimistic now as well. As more people get vaccinated we will see both decreases in case fatality rates and in spread.

Disability vaccine rollout 'failure' slammed by expert panel member

I know the news caravan moves quickly, but we can't allow this report on vaccine failures to pass without deep reflection. If a measure of a society's success is how it treats its most vulnerable in times of need, we have failed spectacularly canberratimes.com.au/story/7446999/…

Sri Lanka will cease building new coal-fired power plants and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said in an address to the United Nations International Energy Forum on Friday.

Sri Lanka commits to net zero by 2050, vows not to build new coal plants. Joins Malaysia in making 2050 net zero commitment in recent days. Also tighter South African 2030 goal. This is the developing world moving too.
Australia's position getting silly.
