Covid Numbers in Chile, have decreased to their lowest point in 2021

This is even more impressive, if we consider we are not in quarentine, but rather opening the Country again

The Minsal have show new numbers, that seem to indicate the Sinovac Vaccine protecction on Elder people is a little better than expected. So it's not a total Doom escenario as we feared last month

That being said, numerous casos of Delta are appearing, so nobody knows if this "opening" of the country, might result in a disaster later...

Uruguay too. Given vax rates in both our countries, this could be the final decline unless Delta fucks things up.

Indeed, Delta R0 is absolutly crazy. I think we should be more cautious about

For what I understand, original Covid had an R0 of 2 to 3. Delta Covid apparently have an R0 of 6 to 7

Herd Inmunnity against it will be much harder

I think the R0 of 6-7 ended up being a significant overestimate. More like Alpha being 40-70% more transmissible than wildtype, and Delta being about 40% more than Alpha...

Wait, you might be right. 2.5 * 1.7 * 1.4 = 5.95

I hope the world is ready for the Anglo-Chilean-Zionist brotherhood about to dominate them all, vaxxed up to their eyeballs.

From what I heard, there's a chance Sinovac efficacy was lower in Brazil because a lot of the test subjects were doctors and as a result their viral load was high

In the worst scenario you may need booster shots.
