US will see 100,000 more COVID-19 fatalities between now and December 1 to bring death toll to nearly 730,000, new model predicts

A new model from IHME predicts that an additional 98,000 Americans will die of COVID-19 between now and December 1 for a total of 727,949 deaths

The projection says deaths will rise from the current 1,100 per day to 1,400 per day by mid-September, then decline slowly

In an absolute worst-case scenario, IHME predicts there will be a total of 797,506 coronavirus deaths over the next 13 weeks

With 48.3% of the US still not fully vaccinated, hospitals are straining to keep up with incoming patients as cases rise. Florida has been hit particularly hard, with the worst per capita Covid-19 hospitalization rate in the country -- about 80 per 100,000 people. That's followed by Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana, each with more than 55 hospitalizations per 100,000 people, according to HHS data.

With more than 100,000 people in the hospital with Covid-19 in the US, this August is worse than last, expert says

More than 100,000 people are hospitalized with Covid-19 in the US -- the first time that level has been reached since January -- as medical workers say they're once again struggling to treat waves of patients.

The latest figure, amid a summer surge in Covid-19 cases driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant, is also more than double what it was on the same day last year, when vaccines were not available as they are now.

Fantastic, keep churn out big profit Q after Q. Covid please don't go away I love u...

PN17 chapter

QR result good or not won't have any impact. Look at Harta price u know. Need to see shark mood good or not.

So desperate? Invested a lot?

Don't worry about price fluctuation lah, Covid is forever so u can be sure there will always be high gloves demand.

Rubbish company. Sg Wang dead mall, 3Damansara dead mall, Mines dying mall. Management big bullies probably learned bullying from their Sinkies master.

Shorting is suicide because Covid is forever with us, there is no way out.

I don't know about price but the only thing certain is Covid will mutate further to resist being wiped out by vaccines because it wants to survive just like all living things on earth.

What goes up must come down. Look at the bright side, at least it is still a 2.4B market cap company.

I cannot tell u Supermax share price will go up or down next week but I can tell u Covid cases will definitely go up next week. Delta is not even the final boss, so better make sure u get vaccinated, stay at home and wash your hand. If u lazy to wash hand just wear glove when u go out.

Israel Braces for 4,800 Hospitalized COVID Patients, Half of Them in Serious Condition

The government is forecasting that the number of patients hospitalized with the coronavirus will double every 10 days, reaching 4,800 people – half of them with serious cases – by September 10.

According to Health Ministry figures, the number of serious COVID cases rose on Wednesday to 400, the highest figure since March. About 150 of these patients are not fully vaccinated. Israel hit its highest number of serious cases in January, with 1,200 patients – about half of the number predicted for next month.

Be afraid be very afraid... of the virus. It is hellbent on reducing the world's population because we are way over populated.

Kerala has reported more than 40,000 "breakthrough" COVID-19 cases. Breakthrough infections involve cases where individuals contracted the pathogen for a second time or after being vaccinated against it. The Union Health Ministry has reportedly raised concerns about this worrying trend in Kerala, which is currently leading India's outbreak. The Centre has reportedly asked the Kerala government to send all such cases for genome sequencing.

Speaking to India Today, a source in the Union Health Ministry—who visited Kerala—did not rule out the possibility of a new variant. "The rise in the number of breakthrough infections and re-infections is possibly due to a variant which is escaping immunity," the source said. It is suspected this may not be a further mutation of the Delta variant, rather a new variant altogether.

Pfizer's Covid vaccine is only 42% effective against Indian 'Delta' variant while Moderna's jab is 76% effective, Mayo Clinic study suggests.

The two most commonly used COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. may not be as effective against the Indian 'Delta' variant, a new study finds.

Pfizer's vaccine efficacy dropped to 42% in July, with Moderna's falling down to 76%, when the Delta variant became the dominant strain.

Congrats to those who believe and bought at low price

Short sellers made wrong prediction hence they have no choice but to continue pressing down the price. I assume their job is on the line as well if they lose this battle.

Covid forever, there is no way out. Glove demand will be higher year after year forever.

Covid cases from Jan to Dec also high high high, what do u think is going to be the expected result?

Banker shorting until Covid goes away? Well go ahead because Covid is never going away. Sad but true.

There are 2 parts to the trick, after the pump comes the dump.

Renowned epidemiologist says the world 'is closer to the beginning than the end' of the pandemic and warns Indian 'Delta' variant is 'maybe the most contagious virus' ever.

Dr Larry Brilliant, part of the WHO team to eradicate smallpox, said the pandemic is not close to over because only 15% of the world has been vaccinated.

He added the Delta variant is the most contagious virus he's ever seen because it has a short incubation period and one person spreads it to eight others.

'I think we're closer to the beginning than we are to the end [of the pandemic], and that's not because the [Delta] variant that we're looking at right now is going to last that long,' Brilliant told CNBC.

'Unless we vaccinate everyone in 200-plus countries, there will still be new variants.'

Britain's daily Covid cases rise by 8% in a week to 23,510 as curve continues to speed up as UK posts 146 fatalities in deadliest day since MARCH... and now admissions are also creeping up again.

Department of Health figures show new hospital admissions have increased for the first time in 10 days.

The seven-day average for Covid infections has increased by 7.3 per cent, up from 5.2 per cent yesterday.

Data also shows more than 39.7million adults (75 per cent) in the UK have had both Covid vaccine doses.

Two ERs in Texas have SHUT DOWN and staff moved to other hospitals to deal with surge in COVID patients: State sees cases rise by 116% in last two weeks.

Hunt Regional Medical Center in Greenville, Texas, closed its Commerce location to bring staff to main campus to help with a Covid surge.

Texas Health Hospital in Rockwall did the same, as both central Texas hospitals are overwhelmed by the virus.

Both hospitals built outdoor tents to increase capacity of COVID-19 patients that could be treated.

New cases have grown in Texas by 116% from 522 new cases a day on average to 14,149

COVID-19 cases among children rose 31% in the US, with nearly 94,000 testing positive in the last week - but fewer than 0.01% have died since the start of the pandemic.

Nearly 94,000 American children tested positive for COVID-19 last week, up 31% from the nearly 72,000 the previous week.

For the week ending August 5, youngsters made up 15% of all cases in the U.S.

Currently, there are 10 states that report 18% or more of their cumulative cases are among children.

Ambulances are being forced to wait outside of Florida hospitals until beds free up for COVID-19 patients as number of hospitalizations triple in the last three weeks.

COVID-19 patients in Florida are waiting in ambulances for around an hour before they can be admitted into the hospital for treatment.

Hospitals are operating near capacity as the state has suffered from a massive swell of COVID-19 related hospitalizations.

Cases in the state have risen at least eight-fold over the past month in the state of Florida, from around 3,000 a day to 26,000 a day.

Sydney records 344 Covid-19 cases overnight and two new deaths including a man in his 30s as Gladys Berejiklian warns virus is moving out of the city's west into neighbouring suburbs.

Covid forever and ever, there is no escape.

30% PP approved previously is still waiting to be executed so expect more share dilution. Dnex will need money for SilTerra upgrade so they could compete more efficiently because previous owner Khazanah did not pump money to upgrade those 10-15 years old machines. Will need to bite the bullet in the short term to see huge profits in the future.

Many good news yet price did not move up like Feb, Mar (where the price reached 1). Bankers pushed up previously to sell warrants to ikan bilis and also encourage conversion. Now that the warrant conversion is a huge success bankers are in no hurry to push up the price.

USA and Europe ditching fossil fuel and pivoting to clean energy, EV so Ping Petroleum is not such a wise acquisition after all. No wonder Ping previous shareholders sold their company and I suspect those Ping shareholders who are holding Dnex shares at 0.80 will be looking to offload asap. This is the reason why bankers will not push price too high for them to offload.

Covid forever, it is inevitable.

There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent (“hotter”) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so “hot” that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves. Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist.

Just buy and keep for mid-long term if short term don't fly. Covid is only in second gear, still got many mutations to go before human can resume normalcy.

Shorties need to know this is karma, the more they press down the more covid cases everyday.

Lets see who can survive the longest, virus or shorties.

Retailers want to survive, bankers want to survive, institution funds want to survive and viruses also want to survive. That is the reason why there are multiple mutations and virus will mutate constantly to replace the current dominant variant.

Joker this moneymaker, u first time play bursa? QR result important nowadays? Sharks mood more important I say, they suka up then up suka down then down.

Sharks push up retailers also no money to buy how to earn retailers money?

Covid forever, it is inevitable.

I think agreement mentioned that June FY22 will only see the revenue.

Sell on news always win. That is how sharks made money.

Covid forever

Covid forever please

The day u sell supermax is the day u stop wearing mask, period.

Covid forever, super Covid variant aka big boss not yet come out so gloves demand will go up not go down.
