(shouldn't it be 2-3 more days before we cross 400 million for people with at least one dose?)

Reminds me of some parents who, when their daughter get 99 (out of 100) marks in an exam ask " what happened to the 1 point??"
("2-3" more days will eventually come!

)

----
On a more serious note:

The Sutra model (its recent projection about "third wave" which I posted about a month ago) - parameters seem quite stable and the projection is IMO quite reliable. Unless we get some new strain which is immunity escape and more infectious than Delta - there will just a ripple ... about 50 thousand/day or so of the peak.
Even if vaccinations do not go fast *and* say "contact parameter" (transmissivity of new variant increases or people go wild et) increase slightly -- we are still okay - still about 50 thousand/day or so at the peak.
Some states (like Kerala) may/will see some local peaks but overall we would be okay - health infrastructure will not be strained compared to earlier waves.

If we get a, say 25% more transmissive variant then delta - and vaccines etc are effective at most conservative values (say 50% only)..*even* than the peak will be as bad as first wave (about 100K/day of reported cases)..
---
Looking back at the entire year - the model has been incredibly accurate - except for Delta (no model can predict if/when there would be a bad variant) - and in March/April time of phase transition.

Pfizer's CEO says Covid vaccine effectiveness drops to 84% after six months

The efficacy of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine steadily declines to about 84% about six months after a second dose, according to CEO Albert Bourla.

Data from Israel shows the waning immunity also erodes protection from severe illness.

I took Moderna (they claim efficacy of 93% after 6 months), my wife Pfizer.
Two weeks ago we attended a party (outdoors, about 60 all 'vaccinated' and wearing masks most of the time). But last Saturday we had 'symptoms' runny nose, tiredness (probably imagined) which we would have ignored in normal times. So we went for the free Covid19 test. Came out negative. Now I feel guilty for wasting resources.

Don't be, Saip ji. Don't ever feel guilty.

Situation is such that it is better to take Preventive tests, at the earliest, else the risk is that if you are a carrier then not only you will suffer but you might well end up infecting others...

Short answer, Yes.

(We (mathematicians) did math - we got advice from top medical profession about the virus/vaccines etc)

The model assumed two scenerios: (I used using these factors to confirm)
(Optimistic side): Loss of about 20% *in/after* 3 months - (Vaccines remaining 60% effective for)
(Pessimistic side): Vaccines remaining about 50% effective - fully vaccinated etc...

It also *assumed* loss of natural immunity ( 40% for those who got before the delta and 20% for those with delta-strain after about 3-4 months, rest remains immune).

This was done in a very conservative side - The Indian data - the loss of immunity - is closer to 10% (In 3 months) - Other studies in other nations with delta the scientific papers gives this around 20%..

ONLY thing we do not know (and I think no one can predict) is if there is new strain - how bad it would be. For that, if we can stop replicating in the world, say for next 6 months the chances of mutation will be gone. But for that we would need vaccine for the whole world which is rather difficult at present.
Just my thoughts.

Zydus Cadila's Covid-19 vaccine approval likely in next few days: Report

On July 1, the company had sought emergency use approval of ZyCoV-D, its DNA vaccine against Covid-19 for those aged 12 years and above, from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI). It had presented interim results from Phase-III clinical trials in over 28,000 volunteers. The study is said to have demonstrated safety and efficacy in the interim data.

How come Zydus did not get the approval till now? Are they trying to avoid COvaxin kind of rumors by rNDTV and CON party?

https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-o ... 2021-07-20

zydus Cadila has applied for Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) for its Covid-19 vaccine, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya told Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. He also said that Hyderabad-based Biological E will enter the market with 7.5 crore doses (each month) of its Covid-19 vaccine by September-October.

"Once it [Zydus Cadila vaccine] is granted approval by DCGA, India will be the first country in the world whose scientists will have developed a DNA vaccine," said Mandaviya. He added that Phase-3 clinical trials of the Zydus Cadila jab are complete.

In his first speech in the Rajya Sabha as Union Health Minister, Mansukh Mandaviya also said that there is hope that vaccinations for children will begin soon. Clinical trials for Zydus Cadila's and Bharat Biotech's jabs for kids are already underway, he added

He also told Parliament that it would be incorrect to assume that the third wave of Covid-19 infections will impact children more than other age groups. Referring to preparedness, he said that 316 of 1,573 proposed oxygen plants have been commissioned and the rest will begin operations by August-end.

I hope to see vaccine options for 12-18 years.

Aside from the SUTRA model, isn't there another model done by IIT-Kanpur which is more pessimistic? The one thing mathematical models can't factor in is human behavior. Due to economic conditions people may be in close proximity in large groups without masks.

There is also concern of lambda and other variants which may be vaccine resistant.
Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants

Amber G. · Post by **Amber G.** » 08 Aug 2021 21:39

^^^ Another "IIT Kanpur Model" which got a quite a bit of publicity is perhaps this I posted about here in brf:
(viewtopic.php?p=2503626#p2503626 - This is NOT SUTRA model and Prof. Rajesh Ranjan and Mahendra Verma are *not* from SUTRA team. They (and) IIT Kanpur actually made that very clear in a few press briefs later to remove some confusion.

Yes, there have been this, and many other models, which have been more pessimistic.

(These calculations were done using some other models - main issue, as I posted then, was their model did *not* include any effect due to vaccinations. And simply can not be ignored. )

SUTRA Model is in a class by itself, especially for understanding Covid type pandemic, yyas this is the only model which get's gets pretty reliable value of epsilon (ratio of undetected to the tested positive) instead of guessing/estimating the behavior of the virus.

By September the pool of susceptible people would be quite manageable - between vaccines and and high number people with acquired natural immunity we will be reaching herd immunity level.

- The Sutra team is keeping eye on variants and data from the world. Data from Peru about Lambda variant, does *not* seem to be more transmissive than Delta. By some studies, it is bit more vaccine resistance etc but this alone at present is *not* a significant factor. But as I said, there is close watch - And other factors like bans of international flights etc, if need be, ought to be considered.

^^^^Amber G ma'am,

I am just curious can we apply the SUTRA model to China and get the value of epsilon rho etc based on the official data released by China and walk back and see how much vulnerable China could be for the Delta virus and estimate future devastation in China assuming that their official data is correct, in fact it should be still giving insights into how they controlled the pandemic so effectively... any chance????

Amber G. · Post by **Amber G.** » 08 Aug 2021 22:58

Meanwhile: Reports are that http://Covid19india.org will stop it's operations from October 31.

I regularly used Covid19india dot org site, especially when I was looking for data from India,. So I will miss it.
Want to give them a big thanks. I know I am not alone - many people I know, including some of top academicians used that resource and it's API etc.

Here is what they said in: Covid19_org_blog: When the curtains come down

After keeping all of you updated with Covid19 data for the last 16 months, we will be stopping our operations from 31st October, 2021.

Why are we doing this? What will happen next?
[See This blog above]

(I have written to them, and I hope they continue this excellent work for a little while more -- may be some other volunteers/institute may provide enough resources).

Idea, obviously is quite great. As the model has seen quite a bit of visibility, I am sure many others will be looking at such things and science and mankind will benefit when such things are analyzed and understood.

One thing I have been trying to do is to make a table of these 5-6 parameters at different "phases" for various countries over the last year. ( As they have included many countries data for verification of the modeling parameters - lot of this has been published or is available but it will be good to have it at one place in a tabular form). Unfortunately I have not seen China's in material I have seen. (Mostly Indian Individual states , Our neighbors like Bangladesh, UK, Europe, US etc where data is freely available and has some reliability).

By the way I have read that covid19india.org site is going down on Oct 31 . It is a volunteer run effort and they no longer can afford to spend time on doing that. A lot of efforts are being made to have government or private entities take over and keep it running. From what I recall, the Sutra website raw data depends on them.

Yes, I posted about just a few posts above. The site and API will continue, but, refreshing with latest data is what they announced to be stopped. Yes, many people, including Sutra team, especially for India's data, used the data- in fact prof Agrawal and Prof Vidyasagar acknowledged it publicly. It was a great service and hope the volunteers get some break while the site transition to more formal site - and hope there is official and financial support to continue this service.

Govt approves Bharat Biotech's Ankleshwar plant to produce Covaxin: Mandaviya

Union minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday said the government has given approval to Bharat Biotech's Ankleshwar-based manufacturing plant to produce COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin. "Govt of India approves vaccine manufacturing facility for production of @BharatBiotech's #Covaxin in Ankleshwar, Gujarat,"

The approval would help increase availability of COVID-19 vaccines in the country, he added.

In May this year, Bharat Biotech had announced that it plans to produce an additional 200 million doses of Covaxin at its subsidiary's Ankleshwar-based facility.

The Hyderabad-based firm had noted that it would utilise the manufacturing plant of its wholly-owned unit - Chiron Behring, to add another 200 million doses of Covaxin.

When India was reeling under the Delta variant, our government, our healthcare system, our population, everyone was responsible for it. (except, you know who)

Now that the west is grappling with the Delta variant, it is the variant that is responsible for it.

Don't feel bad, the vaccinated can both catch it and spread it quite easily (especially the spreading, once caught), so it's good to be vigilant even if you're vaccinated. You're very unlikely to develop severe symptoms, the most I've seen is usually a short admission in the hospital. I've only seen one severe case but she was on chemotherapy and had zero immune system. The common symptoms in the vaccinated is actually quite similar to a cold, and somewhat surprisingly includes runny nose, which is typically not a symptom of at least initial variants of COVID.

Zydus completes ‘pragmatic trials’ for second vax

Zydus has developed a live, attenuated recombinant measles virus-vectored vaccine, ZyCoV-MV, which is believed to provide long-term immunity from the infection. The development is seen as significant in the backdrop of the limited-period immunity provided by most vaccines that are currently available.

The recombinant measles virus (rMV), produced by reverse genetics, will express codon-optimised proteins of the novel Coronavirus and induce long-term specific neutralising antibodies. This is believed to create an engine in the body to provide continuous immunity against Covid-19.

This is different from the company’s DNA vaccine, in which the plasmid DNA is introduced into the host cells.

Amber G ma'am, there are Twitter buzzes which are saying the same thing as i predicted.

Chinese followed the same model as KERALA model. (Kerala model is the same as you analyzed, ie 97% of Keralites/hans were not exposed to the virus because of strict lockdowns. But are vulnerable to DELTA virus as the herd immunity was not achieved and are getting exposed now)

Only lucky thing is that the Hans are vaccinated to a large extent so the number of deaths may not be as devastating as the India's second wave, but still there will be huge death toll atleast 1,00,000 before they control this virus. Of course they will claim only 10,000 deaths in this second wave in China.

Now I have also postulated an empirical formula to figure out the number of deaths in China.

Total no. Of deaths = 10 × official figure.

So in the first wave, no. Of deaths in Wuhan = 10 × 3000 = 30,000.

Still it's phenomenal achievement compared to india's 1.5 lac deaths during first wave.

TKiran'ji, Sinovac does not even work and if the lab leak theory is true, then China knew about the virus a great deal much before others. Also once the CCP says "mask" and "lockdown", the population will not be like the Indians making a beeline to BevCo or TASMAC shops.

And all CCP models and numbers are doubtful.
