The nation’s testing system remains unable to keep pace with the virus, reports AP.   The delays are happening as the country braces for winter weather, flu season and holiday travel, all of which are expected to amplify the US outbreak.   Meanwhile, since Feb 2 when Brazil reported its first case, the caseload has swelled to 5,945,849 with 167,455 deaths.   Mexico became the fourth country to register over 100,000 COVID-19 deaths.   José Luis Alomía Zegarra, Mexico’s director of epidemiology, announced late Thursday that Mexico had 100,104 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, behind only the United States, Brazil and India.   On Friday, India’s coronavirus cases since the pandemic began crossed 9 million.   The country’s new daily cases have seen a steady decline for weeks now and the total number of cases represents 0.6 percent of India’s 1.3 billion population.   The Indian Health Ministry reported 45,882 new infections and 584 fatalities in the past 24 hours on Friday.

A week before that another US company Pfizer Inc announced its own vaccine looked 90 percent effective.   The University of Oxford expects to release data on the efficacy of its own candidate in the coming weeks, with the latest trial results published in The Lancet suggesting it produces a strong immune response in older adults.   Developed jointly with global pharma giant AstraZeneca, who have enlisted manufacturing partners in different parts of the world, the ChAdOx1 nCov-2019 vaccine is the one most likely to play a large role in any large or medium-scale vaccination effort in Bangladesh.
