Bali opening?

[Dan]

If we learn from recent history, it took India 2 months (from March 8 - May 8, 2021) going from baseline to the peak. Then another 2 months from the peak going down back to the baseline. Therefore it took India 4 months to flush out the Delta variant.

However, Indonesia is not India. Delta Plus and other variants may take part in this explosion of new cases in Indonesia. That could mean Bali won’t be ready to open until at least November (from my simple wishful thinking).

Brazil shows almost the same picture, but the numbers hardly went down.

Indonesia is basically in crisis now so opening the country to tourists... maybe July 2022 if we are lucky.

As expected:
Bali postpones the reopening for tourism until August, says government

The government officially said nothing about this yet. Sandiago Uno does everything to be in the news. By the way, this " news " was from 6 days and thousands of deaths ago. At the moment the pandemic is bad and getting worse, all over Indonesia. Daily number of deaths at Bali above 20. New cases around 1.000 daily at Bali.

Sorry to hear that!

Indonesia reported daily cases went up to 54k on 16 July, but it started to come down to 52k on 17 July, 34k on 19 Jul, 38k on 20 July. Hopefully it has reach the maximum and continues to go down.

Stay safe & follow the COVID-19 protocol!

Thanks, first time I read about this ranking. It confirms all we already knew. I think that the percentage of people being fully vaccinated is actually lower than mentioned here. Testing is still extremely limited, often less than 200.000 people daily (population 275 million). We know more and more cases of people being positive tested and in the hospital, without any of their close contacts being tested. I wonder when the first publication will appear about the Indonesian Variant. Because I cannot think of any reason than that it is only a matter of time until this will happen.
