Canary in a Covid Mine: Indonesia’s Harrowing Surge-Upon-a-Surge Poses Test for China’s Coronavac (with Bob Herrera-Lim)

Bob Herrera Lim, Southeast Asia risk analyst for the consultancy Teneo, places Indonesia’s precipitous, unabated case spike in a regional context.  With the most vaccinated people per capita in the region (save Singapore), Indonesia poses a test for how well Sinovac’s Coronavac vaccine fares against the now predominant Delta variant.  And while a public health crisis in Malaysia precipitated the downfall of a government, the same is hardly likely in Indonesia.  Plus: Jeff and Kevin discuss the hot topic of credit-card usage among Pertamina directors and the tenuous role of Basuki Purnama ('Ahok') as the state oil company’s president commissioner.
