The world's richest countries are hoarding vaccines. This is morally indefensible

 

Why does South Africa pay twice as much for vaccines as European countries? Why has Africa - home to 1.3bn people – been allocated just 300m doses?

There is no doubt that the coronavirus did have a huge effect around the world. A lot of people lost their job and first work countries experienced a big decrease in their economy. It is actually a good thing that several countries are already slowly bouncing back. On the other hand, there are still some that are struggling due to incompetent leaders. We've been in this situation for almost a year now and still hoping for better solutions aside from the vaccine. But as much as possible have yourself do a lot of hobbies to keep yourself not idled as much.. for me i played a lot of video games and even online poker with friends to have atleast something to do during this pandemic season..

Makes sense....

 

Here in Italy many regions ( like your states) are totally in lockdown so it's not possible to do most  things...Lots of restrictions...Unfortunately...
