What's going on. All the places that were successful in keeping the pandemic at bay are now falling one after the other. After Indonesia, now Vietnam is having a huge spike, first wave there, +128% week over week growth.

67 cases accredited to the Olympic games so far despite strict entry measures. 1,387 new cases in Tokyo on Tuesday. +52% week over week growth in Japan.

Other stuff going on:

India resently had a study find that, actually amount of mortality (deaths) due to covid19, could be around 10 times higher than the reported numbers.
(they simply go undiagnosed, or not reported to officals. This is obviously worse, near poorer area's and slums ect.)

However this means that they believe the actual number of dead in india due to covid could be in the range of 3+ million
(instead of the reported 400k ish number).

Myanmar, has had a military coup, resently and is currently dealing with mass riots and civil unrest.  They have no oxygen left to give at hospitals, nor drugs to treat the covid with.... leading to many becomeing pretty angry with them, which lead to doctors going into hideing. They basically have a 55 million population country, without healthcare, right when covid is spikeing (ontop of civil unrest, ect).  Black markets, opened up for oxygen. Mostly its just going to military.
In total they have recived something like 10,000 vaccines (a country of 55m). Without any health care, covid kills alot more people, if its allowed to just sweep accross the country, you might have like 5% of the population just die off due to it.
