FYI: The #BA2variant has an R0 of 12. Let’s say you don’t know you’re Covid+ and you go to an indoor event maskless. If you’re vaxxed, you’ll probably survive, but one or two of the 1500+ you’ve spread it to by the end of two weeks will die, and up to 30% will have #LongCovid. 
For perspective…in all of 2019, there were 1,775 people who died in alcohol related crashes where the driver was “only a little drunk,” at between .01 to .07 g/dL. You would never ever get behind the wheel if you’d been drinking, due to the risk of killing or maiming someone. /2
The CDC goes to great lengths to inform us of the dangers of secondhand smoke, which is…you know…airborne and stuff. Like Covid. #COVIDisAirborne
That’s why we largely don’t have smoking sections anymore. /3

This morning, the @CDCgov joins @EthnicMediaSvc for a robust discussion on #COVID19 vaccines, when a vaccine might be available for children five and under, and global #VaccineEquity . Join us on Facebook at 11 am PT: facebook.com/events/1008886…
Please send your questions for the @CDCgov and we will try to get them answered live.
@CDCgov Dr. John Brooks says #BA2Variant represents 30 percent of Covid cases in US, especially in #NewYork and #NewEngland where it reaches over 50 percent
2022 has brought new #Covid narrative -
1 #Virus getting weaker
2 #Vaccine situation fine as is
3 We don't need #publichealth measures any more
Really?

I think it’s time to revisit masking with #BA2 & how contagious it is. I am upgrading my recommendations to a P100 @3M respirator. They are less likely to suffer structural damage, meaning I have had them in use for 1 year at a time. That 100 is for 100% an N95 is 95% blocking
Note do NOT use @amazon they have a huge issue with #CounterfeitMasks. The @US_FDA doesn’t seem to be doing their job & cracking down while Bezos lounges on his yacht. I have samples of counterfeit 3M masks I bought off of Amazon. I confirmed with 3M DIRECTLY. So this is serious
This isn’t hearsay but actually provable. Amazon hides behind “tHeY aRE iDepEnDanT coTrAcTOrS” while they rake in that sweet pandemic cash. I recommend you order from @HomeDepot as they buy directly from 3M. I wish I had a better solution. #MaskUp #P100Masks #CovidIsNotOver
J'ai eu 3 vaccins (2 doses et rappel) #COVID19. Je n'ai pas eu la la maladie à ce jour.
Demain je continuerai à porter le masque (FFP2) en lieu clos.

Parce que #BA2variant est 30 % + transmissible que BA.1. Et qu'une 6e vague a débuté.
Et parce que, plus le nombre de personnes contaminées, sera important, plus il y aura de risques de cas graves dans la population, et donc de tension hospitalière...

🇫🇷La France enregistre 97 382 nouveaux cas positifs à la #Covid_19 aujourd'hui, contre 142 253 cas il y a 7 jours.
🟩Soit une baisse des cas de 31,54%
La baisse est toujours très nette, et bien répercutée à l'hôpital (-817 aujourd'hui !)

Deutschland, Schweiz und Österreich übertrumpen sich gegenseitig mit Ende gut Alles gut Öffnungen trotz hoher Fallzahlen. Zeit nach Gewinnern und Verlierern zu fragen, denn Antworten können überraschen #Thread 1/14
Keine überraschten Verlierer sind #Risikogruppen . Diese Menschen wissen, dass sie von Politik nichts zu erwarten haben & können nicht mehr tun, als sich zu schützen, bei höheren Risiken, noch mehr, aber eben nicht mehr, als möglich. Resignation herrscht, nicht seit gestern. 2/14
Keine überraschten Gewinner sind #Ungeimpfte Maßnahmen Kritiker. Diese hielten sich bewusst an keine Maßnahmen und nahmen uneingeschränkt am epidemiologischen Geschehen teil, wahrscheinlich sogar intensiver als geimpfte. Der Virus unterscheidet nicht zwischen Demo & Theater. 3/14
This is potentially very disturbing. A large multi-site Japanese study comparing #Omicron (BA1) to its much-mutated descendant #BA2 finds the later is more transmissible & more pathogenic.

2/findings:
- reproduction number of BA.2 is 1.4Xs higher
- vaccine-induced humoral immunity fails to function fully against BA.2
- antigenicity of BA.2 is different
- BA.2 is more replicative in human nasal epithelial cells more fusogenic. MORE

3/And lab tests with hamsters "show that BA.2 is more pathogenic than BA.1" #Omicron .
According to @WHO, #BA2variant is spreading quickly worldwide.

Los números ya casi no caben en los recuadros.
Considerando que 10 es crítico, Arica con 232 se sale de escala. El resto no está en mejores condiciones.
