The Delta varient hits home

 the number of cases are going up (but what about the death rate) thanks to the delta varient.

but then there is this:

Endgame and exit strategy https://www.washingtonpost.com/politi... Professor Monica Gandhi, University of California I truly, truly think we are in the endgame The cases will start plummeting in mid- to late September they mutate quickly, at a cost to themselves we’re sort of at the peak of the pandemic because the delta variant is causing immunity like crazy Delta comes in like a hurricane, but it leaves a lot of immunity in its wake we’re going to get it Unless you just sit in your room, you’re going to get it in your nose but at least in this country, it will be manageable

In the meanwhile, here in the Philippines the virus has spread to our area: people getting sick, and a few dying. Manila is still in lockdown. Three out of four infections are from the delta varient.

Manila is improving: They just went into a less strict lockdown. But the provinces near Manila are now being affected, and we started vaccines later than the Capital region.

There are cases in SantaCruz, the town near our farm. We are hoping the farmers don't get sick right now because it is harvest time.
