Those too.
765 cases here. The rate per 100k seems about average from the numbers I saw.
More than 900 cases here.
319 cases here.

A joke I heard on Scottish radio this morning: "Four months into a pandemic we're now being told to wear face masks. Will the government now be advising us to hand out condoms at Christenings?"

Well it serves him right for not taking it seriously. He can shove it up his Bolsonaro loving ass.

You’ve got to love the sense of humour of the guys at the Brewdog brewery!
Their ales are great, which is a bonus.

Indeed. I have some of their beers in my cupboard and I just ordered a 12 pack of this stuff too.
Joining the frontrunners in Covid-19 vaccine development, is India. The Indian Council of Medical Reserch has said it envisages India's entry in the vaccine race being launched by August 15, which is India's Independence day. There's been some concern about this within the scientific community, as it sounds like it's being unrealistically fast-tracked.
Not that the development of vaccines in other countries are likely to be completely apolitical. America's frontrunning candidate vaccine seemed to suddenly leap through a stage of development recently, and Oxford University's vaccine, which the British Government seems to be pinning its hopes on, appeared to have flaws at animal testing stage (ie the vaccinated monkeys still became infected). I'm a bit confused about what's happening with that vaccine now. The Government did say something about a million doses being ready by Autumn, and it sounded like they were paying for the production of the vaccine in the hope that the human trials would be successful. But then I also read that the US had secured 300 million doses of it, which begs the question of whether there's now any left for anyone else.

Send all antivaxers to St. Helena or South Pole first, then there's going to be plenty for everyone.

Once Trump realizes the majority of his fanbase thinks vaccines are intended to microchip the population for mind control and that Bill Gates and George Soros are behind everything, he's going to cancel the orders anyway.

Essentially a drone that can disinfect large areas (like baseball stadiums/concert halls, etc). Obviously it is with COVID in mind, but could continue to be useful against other illnesses (cold, flu, etc).

Drone operators direct the drones to hover feet above targets and spray EPA-approved disinfectant that kills the coronavirus.
