Lol that's bull****. They literally state in the article that the main reason Australia only has 900 deaths is because they're a ****ing island and its easy to control who comes in and out.

China rolls out anal swab coronavirus test, saying it’s more accurate than throat met

I wonder will there be a mobile way testing in that case also.

If they tell you drop trou and bend over that’s what you’re gonna do.

Meanwhile in Africa:

Tanzania’s president says God has eliminated COVID-19 in his country. His own church now begs to differ.

From the local Catholic authority warning this week of a new wave of coronavirus infections, to government institutions now requiring staffers to take precautions, populist President John Magufuli is being openly questioned as the African continent fights a strong resurgence in cases and deaths.

“We are not an island,” the Catholic secretariat of the Tanzania Episcopal Conference said in a widely shared statement this week. It urged followers, which include the president, to pray but also to adopt measures long practiced in the rest of the world, including avoiding public gatherings and close personal contact. The church’s newspaper on Friday stressed in a large front-page headline: “There is corona.”

Tanzania has tried to be an island since April, when the East African country of 60 million people stopped updating its number of virus infections at 509 cases. Some health officials who questioned Magufuli’s stance that COVID-19 had been defeated were fired. The government promoted international tourism, eager to avoid the economic pain of neighbors who imposed lockdowns and curfews.

The president even praised Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi for not wearing a face mask during a visit this month, calling it another sign that Tanzania is free of the virus.

Remember when western countries laughed at Africa?

Johnson & Johnson’s Vaccine Offers Strong Protection but Fuels Concern About Variants

The vaccine’s efficacy rate dropped from 72 percent in the United States to just 57 percent in South Africa, where a highly contagious variant is driving most cases

It’s really too bad we didn’t know that viruses mutate before we let this spread all over the world.

Not a good idea to visit China!

In the wake of the outbreak, in what might be called a belt-and-braces approach, Beijing authorities added an anal swab test to their armoury of Covid control measures.

They can stick that right up their....

The full story. Shocking, terrifying, but seems to have worked.

They must think it’s contagious or something.

Even in Poorer Neighborhoods, the Wealthy Are Lining Up for Vaccines

Officials acknowledge that the coveted shots are disproportionately going to white people and that planners’ efforts to course-correct are having limited effect.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nyt...ities.amp.html

Make em show their goddamn IDs. If they live in Richie Rich Town GTFO.

Y’all can piss on me all you want but the workers don’t mind vaccinating a white dude who lives in the community and is just as broke as everyone else. They just don’t want rich ass white people jumping the line. They don’t have to make it only black people. They have to make only people who live in a neighborhood that’s predominantly black. That solves the racial disparity and the income disparity.

I know I’m gonna get blowback for this but black healthcare workers who want to treat the underserved don’t care if you’re white. They just want you to be truly among the underserved. Honestly, black nurses are the nicest people. They want to help the poor. Period. At least, I’ve never seen more kindness in a person’s eyes than the black employees at the community health. They don’t care if I’m white.

**** everyone in advance for not understanding what I’m talking about.

And triple mother**** a rich person who only came into a poor neighborhood once in a decade to get the vaccine. Locals only.

Don't play the misunderstood victim, I agree with this and I'd be surprised if anyone doesn't. With this virus, like with so many things, rich people are much less at risk. It's only fair to give the vaccine to vulnerable people first, and apart from age and medical conditions etc. that's poor people, so they should have priority over rich people. Unless there would be a reason that makes black or white people more vulnerable there is no reason to distinguish between skin colour.
